RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The official history of Santiago de Chile suggested until a few years ago that the Spaniard Pedro de Valdivia had founded the city on unoccupied land.
But a body of archaeological and documentary evidence reveals that an Inca settlement was already in full activity on the site in the Mapocho River valley where Valdivia chose to settle in 1541.

This is the conclusion reached by archaeologist Rubén Stehberg and historian Gonzalo Sotomayor (who died in 2016) in the article “Mapocho Incaico”, published in 2012 in the Chilean National Museum of Natural History (MNHN) journal.
