1. Indiana Jones & Hiram Bingham III
In the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones braves hell and high water to retrieve the Golden Idol from an ancient Peruvian temple. The basis for this plot point came from a real-life lecturer at Yale who taught in the early 20th century.
In 1911, Hiram Bingham III discovered the lost Inca city of Machu Picchu, high atop the Andes. His findings brought the 400-year-old citadel to the eyes of the world. His explorations were featured in a 1912 issue of National Geographic. Bingham later excavated 40,000 artifacts, including mummies and ceramics, and brought them to America.
