As a boy, he was called Sharuko, a Quechua name meaning “brave,” and explored caves in the nearby foothills, where he found ancient tombs. Those discoveries fed his curiosity and led to his work as an archaeologist. His scholarship helped people around the world learn about the scientific achievements of ancient Peruvian cultures, including irrigation systems and surgery.
