The “lost” city of the Incas
Machu Picchu, the ancient citadel of the Incas: the carved terraces, granite buildings, and polished walls that were once part of religious and administrative seats have been overgrown for centuries. Once the Inca Empire’s capital, the site was deserted for centuries, this remarkable place was never lost; only the inhabitants around it forgot about it.
Agustín Lizarraga, a Peruvian from Cusco, is considered the official discoverer of Machu Picchu. It is known that he discovered the remains of this site in 1902 and could not have made it known to the world without government support. Nine years later, on July 24, 1911, Hiram, an American history teacher, appears in Machu while searching for the lost Inca city of Vilcabamba. Bingham was led by an owner named Melcor Arteaga and accompanied by a Peruvian Civil Guard sergeant named Carrasco. When they arrived, they found two farming families: Recharte and Alvarez, who were using the platforms south of the ruins to cultivate and drink water from the still-functioning Inca canal, bringing water from a spring. Pablo Recharte, one of Machu Picchu’s sons, escorted Bingham into the urban area of the bush-covered citadel.
Hiram Bingham, Book “The Discovery of Machu Picchu.” Suddenly, I came upon a house built with walls of ruins and the highest quality of Inca art. For centuries trees and moss had covered the stone so that I couldn’t see the walls, but I climbed through the shade and bushes of bamboo. You see with extreme precision. I saw a wall made of hewn blocks of white granite. I found bright temples, royal houses, large squares, and thousands of places. It was like being in a dream.”
Bingham was impressed with what he saw. With the support of Yale University, the National Geographic Society, and the Peruvian government, they immediately launched a scientific study of Machu Picchu. With the direct participation of engineer Elwood Ardis, osteologist George Eaton, Toribio Recharge and Anacleto Alvarez, and a group of anonymous workers from the area, Bingham led the archaeological work at Machu Picchu from 1912 to 1915. The global knowledge of Machu Picchu was revealed in 1913 with an article in National Geographic magazine. From that moment on, Hiram Bingham went down in history as the scientific discoverer of Machu Picchu.
