Commemorating 100 years of discovery of Machu Picchu the Inca's citadel, Peru people are now able to stand upright. It's nothing, Yale University finally restore thousands of archaeological objects taken from Machu Pichu. The collection of artifacts collected at the National University of San Antonio, Cuzco.
To get these historical objects, Peru Goverment to a lawsuit against Yale University. They claim the artefacts from the town of Inca as the last bastion against the Spanish colonization, which lent to Yale. The conflict was finally resolved after Peru sent a letter to President Barack Obama.
Is Hiram Bingham, a professor of Yale University, who on July 24, 1911 found the Incan fortress. Over the past 400 years the city's Inca fortress hidden in the Andes Mountains. Because the location is never known, a magnificent city is considered a legend among Andean Indians.
Based on the historical record of Indian culture, the city fortress was built when the Spaniards colonized the area of the Incas (Peru current region) and surrounding areas in 1530. They fled from the Inca capital, Cuzco who fell into the hands of Spain to the mountains. Here they built a fortress city called Machu Picchu, or "old mountain" in Quechua language. Over the centuries is not known with certainty the existence of Machu Picchu.
The expedition to find the lost Inca city was started in 1800 to 1900. But all the expeditions never managed to find the city's fortress, when they've explored almost all Inca regions, starting capital of the Inca, Cuzco, to the inland valleys and forests that blanketed the area and the surrounding Andes Mountains. As a result, many people think Machu Picchu was more than a myth.
Until finally revealed thanks to the diligence of researchers of South American history from Yale University professor Hiram Bingham. He had been doing research and travel to some areas of the Inca culture and find some sort of clues about the existence of Machu Picchu.
Bingham started the expedition in June 1911. Together with his team, they trace the Urubamba valley, crossing paths had never crossed another expedition. Broad valleys covered by forest and cut in the Urubamba River is located in the southern region of Peru, not far from the border line of Cuzco.
But the legendary city that has not been found. Many team members are desperate and decided to return. Luckily, an innkeeper gives valuable information. Bingham track down that info to the top of Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu.
Bingham then asked the landlord to review the intended location. Together with the provision that was draped llama (a type of camel Andes), they cross the Urubamba River and reach the intended location.
There, Bingham found a very faint trail that leads to the mountain as high as 2,350 meters.
When resting, Bingham met two Indians who told me that not far ahead, there is a bend toward the terraced garden area that contained the ancient stone walls camouflaged shrubs.
Bingham trace the route of a hiking path bends. Eureka! At the top, he saw rows of stone swath, forts, and buildings made of marble in large areas.
Laid out on the plains that clipped the two peaks, the lost Inca city looks. Yesterday, Peru commemorate a century, Machu Pichu the historic city. *** [UWD | KORAN TEMPO 3600]
