Archaeology Photos

Archeologists discovered this mummy and skulls in a cave in Peru in 1915, during a joint National Geographic-Yale Peruvian expedition headed by Hiram Bingham. By bringing cameras to the field, National Geographic helped bring archaeology into people’s homes through the pages of its magazine.
