Struggle for Inca treasure


There is a struggle between the University of Yale and National Cultural Institute of Peru, over 36 thousand original pieces from the city of Machu Picchu.


Pieces were removed in 1911

The pieces were removed by Bingham, a Yale professor, who reached the mountain in 1911 where Machu Picchu was and took the pieces with him.

Recent investigations showed that Machu Picchu was discover by the Peruvian Agustín Lizárraga, on a trip that he made in 1902, nine years before Bingham.
