In 1911, a young Peruvian boy led Yale historian Hiram Bingham into
the ancient Incan citadel of Machu Picchu. Hidden amidst the breathtaking
heights of the Andes, this was the Incas' greatest achievement. Bingham made
Machu Picchu famous, and his dispatches from the jungle made him a true
Indiana Jones-like character. But his excavation of the site raised old
specters of conquest and plunder, and met with an indigenous nationalism
that changed the course of Peruvian history. Though Bingham successfully
realized his dream of bringing Machu Picchu’s treasures back to the United
States, conflict between Yale and Peru persists through the present day over
a simple question: Who owns Inca history?
