A group of foreign tourists look at a panoramic view of the Inca's citadel of Machu Picchu, in Cuzco, Peru, on March 26, 2008. Paolo Greer, a retired Alaska oil pipeline foreman, who has been digging through files in the United States and Peru for 30 years, said he has found maps and documents from the U.S. Library of Congress and several Peruvian archives showing that a German businessman had purchased land across from Machu Picchu in 1867, more than four decades before Hiram Bingham's rediscovery, and even set up a company to plunder the site.
