After a long time, Agnes said that “they came from a country of caves and underground passages, where the sun sets eternally and there is a river that separates their land from the others that are brighter”, as History records.

The woman mentioned that the two were from ‘the land of San Martín’, a place where the sun never shines, and that they “reached the surface through a tunnel that took two days.” And “he described another glowing land that could be seen on the other side of the river,” according to Ancient Origins.
