 Searching
for Lost Worlds: Machu Picchu: Secrets of the Incan Empire (1999)Seeking
fame and fortune, Hiram Bingham treks into the mountainous central regions
of Peru in search of the Lost City of the Incas. When he emerges, he is
an exploration superstar; the recipient of such adulation, he is able to
parlay it into a career in the U.S. Senate. Following a trail of rumor
and legend, he wanders far into the sacred valleys, where he discovers
a series of mountain-top sanctuaries used by the Incas to hide from the
Spanish Conquerors. Machu Picchu chronicles the arduous, near-mystical
journey of a man consumed by ambition and reveals the astonishing remains
of a vanished culture, hidden beneath the encroaching jungle and beyond
the mists of time. |
