what, in the excerpt you posted, supports your claim that it is just a hoax?
it has been deigned a hoax because of two factors:
1. Absence of evidence
2. misunderstandings and mistatements by those involved
Moricz was clear about point 2...that he hadn't shown Daniken the actual cave for the sake of expediency. And with the first point....simple logic tells you that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

A literaly unbelievable tale, the artifacts look like they've been created by children....
In what maybe one of the biggest discoveries ever, a team of explorers is claiming that they have found the legendary golden library and other mysterious treasures in the Tayos Cave system in Ecuador. The team announced that they accidentally found some hidden tunnels that were obviously dug out artificially sometime in the ancient past while inside one of the main chambers. The team was able to follow one of these tunnels for approximately ½ mile and came upon a large room containing the golden library and various other treasures.

I'm really annoyed with most who have responded to this thread. Most did not read the OP article (which is weak, I grant you). No one has read my posts about the extinct Cuvieronius (elephant) that lived in the Americas 12,000 years ago. They don't read the OP source and they don't read a short thread.
But they're very quick to dismiss something as a hoax.

Ok, think about this for a minute:
* We had 9 planets from 1930 to 2006
* Since 2006 we had 8 planets
BUT.......if we had a spaceship and we did not adopt an arbitrary 2006 ruling on what constitutes a planet then we would know:
* Our solar system has at least 13 planets
So if we only have 9 planets we have to have a 20th century pre 2006 mindset..........I suspect the artifacts are faked.
