Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the 1912 Peruvian Expedition, a collaborative effort between Yale University and the National Geographic Society, led by the author. Focusing on intensive exploration in the previously uncharted regions of southern Peru, the expedition aimed to build upon the discoveries made during the author's 1911 expedition. The narrative details the challenges and triumphs of navigating the rugged Andean landscape, including the construction of a bridge over the Urubamba River and the arduous process of clearing dense jungle to uncover the lost city of Machu Picchu. The author presents compelling evidence that Machu Picchu, with its unique architectural features and strategic location, may be the legendary Tampu Tocco, the mythical origin of the Inca Empire. Through meticulous excavation of burial caves and the discovery of numerous artifacts, the expedition sheds light on the lives and customs of the ancient inhabitants of Machu Picchu. The author's vivid descriptions and insightful analysis offer a captivating glimpse into a bygone civilization, inviting readers to ponder the enduring legacy of the Inca Empire and the mysteries that continue to surround its origins.
