Anthropology

I was once invited to a private tour of the national archaeological museum in Quito, Ecuador. I said they must have some great Inca artifacts (this was on my first visit, when I was younger and ignorant). They politely laughed, and said, yes, we have lots that new stuff. They also had artifacts from civilizations 5000 years old, so millennia before the Incas, but they knew so little about them that they never got famous outside of local researchers.
