520    In 1911, a young Peruvian boy led an American explorer and
       Yale historian named Hiram Bingham into the ancient Incan 
       citadel of Machu Picchu. Bingham made Machu Picchu famous,
       and his dispatches from the jungle cast him as the 
       swashbuckling hero romanticized today as 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.
