- In the 16th century, the Inca Empire faced Spanish conquistadors and fled deep into the jungles of Peru, where they built a last stronghold called Vilcabamba. American explorer Hiram Bingham, driven by a desire for fame, sought to uncover the lost city of Vilcabamba. Bingham's expedition, funded by various corporations and his wife's wealth, led him to Machu Picchu, a remarkable Inca site he initially believed to be Vilcabamba. Bingham's legacy endures as he played a pivotal role in uncovering one of the world's great wonders.

I visited Macchu Picu. Amazing site knowing it was built without iton or horse in a remote place in the mountains. The stones were carved with precision with no gaps or mortar. Incredible feat by the Inca.
I've come to realize,:
☀️🏹 The ruins Bingham found are pre-Incan, pre-flood, a Civilization that came before us, one that has reu8ns encircling this Earth, and for anyone to deny it can only be due to "lack of familiarity with History through Education", and/or "Mainstream Academic 19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline" programming, occasionally refered to as: the "Mainstream Academia Dogmatic Orthodoxy".
🔑 ... for a Learned, Open Mind applying the "Standards of Science and Research" can see the facts easily and with logic, realize that these are earlier People's Civilizations.

Excellent documentary! Watched from beginning to end. Machu Picchu is truly a fabulous place with extraordinary views and architecture!
Absolutely captivating! The uncovering of the lost medieval citadel of the Incan Empire is truly mesmerizing. Every detail in this video kept me on the edge of my seat. Can't wait to explore more mysteries with Myth Hunters. Keep up the fantastic work
I visited Macchu Picu. Amazing place. Keep in mind it was built without iron or horses in a remote mountain area. Incredible feat by the Inca. I was in awe.
I can't help but think of the Monty Python skit with the sentence "sitting there on your loathsome spotted behinds" when I read derogatory comments by those who have, quite likely, never achieved anything of consequence in their lives. It's rich that they even express an opinion about an explorer such as Bingham. He was wealthy and educated so he could have lived a life of comfort instead of venturing out as he did !
I have travelled there twice. It is mangificent.
When you walk the so called Inca trail, your first view of it is amazing, it was for me 24 years ago.
It seems quite obvious that Machu Picchu is not Vilcabamba. The chronicle is clear that the Incas took refuge to jungle plains, and its completely logical. They already saw Mountains arent protected enough as Spaniards took all their cities and forts there. They went to more inaccessible place, and eventhough its not their normal habitat, they had no choice. Also, the lack of ruins the kind of Machu Picchu there is normal, there isnt enough stone in muddy plain as there is in mountain, the Incas were remnants and refugees, not the grat empire any more, so its obvious that most of what they would have built there would be made of wood and perish.
That is exactly what I thought. Plus, if you have the Spanish at your heels. They wouldn't have time to make Lavish buildings and extraravagant architecture. The buildings there would have been infererior and essential.
He had the money to uncovered it. He didn't discovered nothing new for the people there. Only to show for the rest of the world. Somebody had to do it one day
He didn't find or discover anything!! He was lead to it by people that already knew about it and the location!
this feels like it was made by the bingham family hahahaa
That's very interesting?
Tell everyone about your discoveries ☝️😅🤣😂
And yet, if he hadn't refound it, or whatever term you want to use, you still wouldn't know about it...
Considering the rest of the world didn't know about it, he definitely discovered it.
Yeah but they didnt let the rest of the world know...he did
Very informative
Agustín Lizárraga Ruiz (Spanish: [aɣusˈtin liˈθaraɣa] June 12, 1865, in Mollepata - February 11, 1912, in Urubamba River) was a Peruvian explorer and farmer who discovered Machu Picchu on July 14, 1902, nine years prior to American explorer Hiram Bingham.
Amazing !!!!!!!
Wow I loved this
Oh so a peasant farmer found it and you claimed the credit.
"has it truly been 'discovered' until an erudite white man has seen it and documented it?" - history, probs, as written by that same demographic.
Always some rich dude who has nothing else to do.
To be fair, a peasant would never have the resources to bring Machu Picchu to the world like an incredibly wealthy explorer would, so of course the explorer would get the credit.
Well yes... Since they didn't have writing, you would need someone else with a writing system to record it.
That was good
"He was just a local Peruvian peasant."
Hiram Bingham, the first tourist basically.
The first tourist from the USA
I wonder why people watch these documentaries and then comment in such a rude derogatory manner… if you don’t like it, just click away but don’t be so rude to the people who made this documentary! They’ve put many hours into this. If you can do better, please share 😅😖 Oh and @iamllux why do you think British narrators and documentary makers are considered THE BEST in the world? Because they are. I really wonder the foundation of your ridiculous comment, like I said “if you don’t like what you see, click away!”
When will indigenous peoples everywhere cease to be referred to as “indians”???
There are several incan cities in that jungle around Machu piccu
Sooooo, dude gets credited for discovering a city that people already know where it’s at?
Dude didn't find nothing.
Just because somebody found something first doesnt mean somebody else cant find it. Stop your foolish talk please.
I often feel like I want to leave the cruel modern world behind and head south to live with the Inca.
Inca were pretty cruel too.
Go to any andean nation and you would see otherwise. Travel
@@veroland3768 I have.
They’d eat you 😅
IT'S LIKE SAYING THE BRITISH FOUND INDIA NO INDIANS FOUND INDIA THEMSELVES LOL BUT THE BRITISH CLAIMED🤣
Well, Columbus discovered America and Al Gore invented the internet.
I always wonder how this Europeans who came to the shores in ships with limited soldiers and supplies can conquer a well established country on the main land, they had Guns, but can they defeat a well established country with few cannons, Guns and soldiers, their commanders must be very cunning, ruthless who bribed the locals to help them conquer and colonised the countries.
What happened to the kind indians who lived there? I hope they weren't chased out of their homes 🙏
I think they’re still there.
They were butchered, robbed, raped, sold into slavery and wiped out by foreign diseases in their millions.
The 1800 dollars was like saying 50,000 today
Matchu Plitchu looks like where the natives found refuge in the flood, 12 thousand years ago.
He lived on top of a hill? Well I have heard it all now.
He didn’t discover it people, the locals knew about it for centuries the whites were the last to know in this situation.
The Shocking Discovery Of The Lost Medieval Citadel Of The Incan Empire | Myth Hunters | Chronicle 16.3.24 is it flippant to suggest Maanco was a clint eastwood character...he who had no quarrel...made money from those two opposing idiot factions....?
LIES! 🤣 The locals not only knew of that place's existence, people came from all over South America to check it out, so much so that Homeboy hired local guides to take him up the trail.
Right? He was worried about being the discoverer but uh...someone else took him up there, so someone else had found it first. Duh.
Who writes the titles? It wasn't "shocking"... please, we are NOT on the Daily Mail.. just a normal descriptive title would be enough... that said, video itself was good so thanks!
I don't understand how you can claim to "discover" a place that many other people know about--American and European hubris.
"American and European hubris"
That's brilliant.
You need to bring this to the attention of National Geographic, they've obviously not thought about this ☝️😅🤣😂
Locals knew this place existed obviously but it had never been documented/studied by the western world so for the western world it was a discovery.
If the Incans had travelled to Europe they too would have gone back home to speak of a new land and people that was discovered.
Incas fleeing into the jungle would likely not have the resources, and possibly not the expertise to duplicate the stonework of the previous Inca cities, not to mention the time between the founding and the discovery by the Spaniards. It was rather unrealistic to dismiss it because it didn't duplicate previous examples.
What happened to the people who lived there?
We are still here, there are still many indigenous nations throughout the America's.
The filthy Spanish conquistadors killed their entire civilization. The modern ones are remnants that were forcibly converted to Catholicism so that Spain could have another colony and get richer. The Conquistadors are basically genocidal megalomaniacs.
Great documentary but the Incas didn't built the Machu Picchu. Incas just also discovered it's ruins
The Indians?
Wtf
Id prob die before i ever see this place.. lol
The music though dramatic is too loud.
Who can explain why Hiram Bingham's wife funded his travels although he wasn't staying at home = meeting her needs? Did she have plenty of side lovers, or perhaps was a lesbian who agreed to share her inheritance with Hiram for keeping her secret?
What?!? Have you ever BEEN in a loving marriage? True love never dies, and this was the age of expansion, men left and didn’t return home for years all OVER the civilized world for this thing or another. People that actually love each other endure any and all hardships.
Her family owned the Tiffany .Co fortune, it was likely a rather small drop in the bucket. In the end, she knew her man well enough to believe in him, and she was right.
Now stop sippy cupping that 3% hard cider and internetting.
Bingham deserves credit for “discovering” this lost Incan citadel because he was the first non Incan to reveal this masterpiece of architecture to the world’s attention.
😊😊😊😊😊
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Absolutely amazing! He was wrong on a couple things and made one of the greatest discoveries in history
He discovered it? The video litteraly told us that locals told him about it then took him to the location. He didn't discover a damn thing!! LOL
This is a documentary about Hyram Bingham the 3rd's "great discovery" that was already known by the local people. Good thing those rich white men were around to write history for us. BTW, "impoverished academic" is an oxymoron. But I don't expect narrators with British accents to know that.
You raise very interesting points?
What kind of accent do you have BTW 😂🤣😅☝️
@@seansabhaois I don't go around saying ridiculous things like "impoverished academic."
Without rich white men, you wouldn't be bitching about recorded word, and moving pictures on a global website over a global network. Yet here you are
It's weird how you try to attack racism by being racist.
😂folks are big mad that dude got credit for discovering something that nobody in the modern world knew about…yes locals knew about it but the rest of the world had no idea and the locals didn’t know the full significance of what they knew
A lot of judgemental comments by people on here. Seems to be the way now. Make myself feel better by tearing down accomplishments of others.
"He was just a Peruvian peasant... his discovery was secure." Bruh. This was such an interesting documentary up until that part. This is the reason why people think the former western imperial powers think of themselves as the masters of the world.
You could've presented this in such a different manner you know. But the choice of words. The way you just tossed aside the original discoverer after acknowledging the achievement was his. Yuck. I wonder what people in Peru think of Bingham, the rich white dude that was so obsessed with his own fame that he stole someone else's achievement just because he was a poor peasant from a poor country.
Hiram Bingham III, incompetent "explorer"
Oh really.... what exactly have you explored!!?
Your mom
@@MrWeAllAreOne ur 🍑🕳️
I remember my first beer while internetting too. I wasn’t such an insufferable twat about it though.
Promo SM
The opening statement sounds ridiculous. If the Spaniards beat the Incas in this last city the Incas built to fight the Spaniards, the victors would not forget this unforgettable city in the clouds. If you;re going to write hypeervole as history, please keep track of the logic used.
We have magnificent temples that the Arabs and Turk( ish) people destroyed and then Brits “ discovered “ them !
Why do you think that the Inkas were an Empire,? Because of the conquistadors? Or because of the current spaniards? Such a concept exist only en western (european) and/or in the Midle Eastern culture. The Inka society were never an Empire (Do you know its implications of an Empire?) , we don't have such a concept in our culture. You can find out through our voices; meaning, through our languages. Even here in North America'', natives don't have that term and many, many other terms or concepts in their languages. Etc., etc.,!
You’re full of it. The indigenous peoples of North America colonized each other. Get off the victim drug.
He was probably the only non-native to write about the site in 1911. Back then, who cared about ancient South America. The US was still segregated and full of white privilege. His wife's family were probably getting blood diamonds from Africa to fund his expedition. He definitely was not the person that discovered it. The Indigenous people were the ones that discovered it. He wanted an adventure, like Indiana Jones, and he got that. Everyone in the area knew about it and still farmed the area. He wanted to make a name in the field, which I get, because if he had not ventured out, someone else at a later time would have.
I didn't see anything "shocking" here. Stop with the clickbait titles.
He didn’t discover anything. The indigenous people knew about these places long ago. It amazes me how these so-called explorer are glorified today.
He was wrong.. what a loser
Regardless, one of the greatest discoveries
BIG L@@user-io9ie5cs8j
Who cares who found it? These stories are so boring!
Speak for yourself. I find it very interesting
But, you went ahead and watched the entire video, in any event, otherwise how would you know?☝️😅🤣😂
Don’t you find it boring to know nothing?
Yeie ! It's one of the cruel robbers !! Storyline in Bangal hunger proub made by yele ! is available online .
These sites are the petrified cellular remains of enormous prehistoric plants.
Found, occupied and exploited by humans but grown from the same natural processes needed to grow a planet.
