The first successful ascent of the Matterhorn was made during the Golden Age of Alpinism. In what year was the mountain conquered?
Answer: 1865
The first ascent of the Matterhorn was achieved on 14 July 1865 by Edward Whymper, Lord Francis Douglas, Charles Hudson, Douglas Hadow, Michel Croz and Zermatt guides Peter Taugwalder and his son. During the descent, a tragic accident occurred when Hadow slipped, causing Douglas, Hudson and Croz to fall to their deaths. Whymper and the Taugwalder guides survived, leading to accusations that they cut the rope to save themselves. However, an inquiry found no evidence of such actions, and they were acquitted. Edward Whymper‘s successful ascent of the Matterhorn marked the end of the golden age of alpinism. Jean-Antoine Carrel’s team reached the summit three days later from the Italian side.

When was the ‘Lost City of the Incas’, Machu Picchu, discovered?
Answer: 1902
“Agustín Lizárraga is the discoverer of Machu Picchu, and lived at San Miguel Bridge just before passing”
— Hiram Bingham in his diary on July 25, 1911
In 1902, Agustín Lizárraga discovered the ruins of Machu Picchu while exploring for new farmland. He later recruited families to settle there and shared the discovery with friends and intellectuals in Cuzco. Tragically, Lizárraga drowned in the Vilcanota River in 1912 while crossing a bridge on his way to his fields. He had inscribed his name and ‘1902’ in charcoal in Machu Picchu which was seen and noted by Hiram Bingham (see quote above) but later erased by him.
