http://www.fertur-travel.com/inca_rebellion_archaeological_tour.html The Puruchuco site in Lima has been left in a good state of preservation, but has faced its share of controversy. This is due to the influence of Dr. Arturo Jimnez Borja who was chosen to lead the reconstruction of the archaeological buildings. Between 1953 and 1960 he directed works at the site, consolidating some walls, reconstructing others and positioning roofs. He founded an on site museum, considered a pioneer of this type of institution at archaeological sites in Peru. He was dedicated to the preservation and study of the area, and organized cultural events that promoted the monument to the public. Sightseers view the ruins from a series of terraces constructed in stages on the peak near the site, from which they can see a panoramic view of the complex. The restoration integrated the ancient buildings, and filled them with the artificial lights and sound systems typical of a modern cultural space. When these works were completed they were heavily criticized from within the scientific and archaeological community, They argued that the works had not been publicized prior to reconstruction, and damaged the heritage value of the site. This might explain why the Puruchuco complex was not always counted highly in archeological studies. But the discovery of more than a thousand Inca burial bundles in the last decade has reignited archaeological interest in the site, with the National Geographic Society funding efforts to protect the burial grounds from damage caused by the shanty town of Tupac Amaru that has sprung up next to and in some cases on top of the excavations.
