I think there are plenty of other Inca ruins for Peru to dig up and stop trying to get a freebie off of Yale.

Well except for the fact that the artifacts Yale currently has belong to the Peruvians and their history. I'm sure there are quite a few others out there as well. There's a reason there are international laws in existence outlining the behavior of researchers from taking artifacts out of a country. To prevent this very thing from continually happening.

Of course I'm sure you would be just as excited if an team of 'foreigners' came here and found artifacts. You'd have no problem with them just taking it out of the country would you?I see Yankee bashing going on

LOL!!! A nation standing up for its national sovereignty and retaining its history is yankee bashing. Right....

Sure took the Peru-vians a long time to complain. But in this day where all things 3rd world are good and romanticized they get more traction. Can you imagine how chaotic Peru was when Yale spent money and effort to recover these treasures? They would have just sat there if these "evil Anglo white men" had not mounted their expeditions.

This is just the latest iteration of the centuries old Anglo-Spain conflict
