New study analyzed the origins of individuals buried at Machu Picchu through genetic testing to understand the livelihood of diverse communities that lived in the area over 500 years ago.
According to the researchers' statement, the analysis revealed that individuals at Machu Picchu hailed from various regions within the Inca Empire, with some even originating from distant locations, including Amazonia.
Archeologists also noted that even though Machu Picchu was a royal estate, it accommodated not only royalty and the elite but also attendants and workers. Many of these individuals lived within the estate year-round. He added, “Now, of course, genetics doesn’t translate into ethnicity or anything like that but that shows that they have distinct origins within different parts of the Inca Empire. The study does really reinforce a lot of other types of research that have been done at Machu Picchu and other Inca sites.”
