It's part of mankind to want to explore. You are tremendously curious about the world, and we want to understand it better. You can't turn yourself off.

I want to be able to go into any kind of environment, work with any kind of people. We realize that there were people building structures and altitudes, having to move, reached until those 400 years later. What's unusual about the Andes is it's one of the few places in the world where you can get bytom's so well preserved that many of them can look like they're new, and that includes frozen mummies.

These mummies are virtually perfectly preserved, so there is literally a real time capsule.

Because solve problems that Mountaineers didn't sell until 14 years later, so they were way ahead of their time, certainly the first climbers. The reason that we studied high-altitude archaeology might is so important is to see this kind of link with the past. In a very young age, I saw myself as an explorer, and I'm never going to stop trying to solve mysteries.
