Hiram Bingham's discovery of the lost Incan city of Machu Picchu was celebrated by the entire country of Peru yesterday. The famed explorer came upon the city through locals on July 25, 1911 and the world has been captivated ever since.
The Peruvian government held a HUGE celebration to mark the anniversary of the discovery, lighting up the ancient city with laser lights and hosting fireworks in the capital city of Cuzco.
