who discovered the ancient city of machu pichu?
hiram bingham
bingham returned to peru in 1912, 1914 and 1915 with the support of yale and the national geographic society. in "the lost city of the incas" (1948), bingham related how he came to believe that machu picchu housed a major religious shrine and served as a training center for religious leaders. modern archaeological research has since determined that the site was not a religious center but a royal estate to which inca leaders and their entourage repaired during the andean summer. a key element of the expeditions' legacy are the collections of exotic animals, antiquities, and human skeletal remains. these objects exposed the modern world to a new view of ancient peru and allowed 20th-century interpreters to interpret machu picchu as a "lost city" that bingham "scientifically discovered". bingham merged his reliance on prospecting by local huaqueros with the notion that science had a sovereign claim on all artifacts that might contribute to the accumulation of knowledge.
