Bingaham was just a colonial adventurer who did not approach locals as equals, but as barbarians. Returning to the US (as just another conqurer) from a faraway land... This kind of "exploaration" was popular amongst "scientists" from the colonial powers up until the IWW at least...

@nmahangu Are you fucking stupid? Northern India has nothing similar to Western South American! Just because it has one term similar but they don't mean the same thing! Idiot. I hope you know in all languages Mama means mother. Who has the origin? It's a coincidence, let alone your stupid little argument doesn't even claim a similarity!

I don't know what Inca means, but Tinku is a Hindi name. Mayan is also Hindi, it means black god. It is hard not to notice these ancients people look a lot like South Indians. Also Machu Picchu is most definetly a Hindi sounding term.

@elmurguista - i support your comments back @ 2011, however, there is no necessity to offend other countries. etc.

I am from Chile, living in Australia for many years now. I have do not hate other latino countries for WHATEVER the reason our country's past may have.

I for one, believe that Peru is beautiful, hoping one day soon I will get to visit.

Hatred for others only darken our soul. We are the new generation that should try to amend what our ancestors did... we should love one another

@yeahdude7 Same here. Someday I'm going to visit Machu Picchu!

@cymrutroll ok fist of all, machu picchu was abandoned. and second the best places were destroyed. Spaniards said they were impressed by the clean roads and clean structures of Tenochtitlan. They would send people everyday to clean the roads and the structures completely. The island was mostly man made.

I find it ironic that while the Inca were labeled as "savages" by the spanish who ruthlessly raped and murdered thousands without any remorse.
