Berlin in Germany. Tello discovered the main fragment of the Chavín culture near the
town   of   Yauya (Ancash) in 1919.   That   same   year, he   founded   the   Museum   of
Archeology and Ethnology at the San Marcos University. Years later, in 1924, he
formed the Museum of Peruvian Archeology. A year later, in front of the Paracas bay
and south of Pisco, he discovered the Paracas culture. Julio C. Tello died in Lima on
