Some 80 human remains found at two sites (above, skulls and bones in a cave) near Machu Picchu may shed light on the ancient Inca city's role as a regional center of trade and power, scientists said in September 2008. [Photograph courtesy Machu Picchu Archaeological Park]

Thanks for another interesting find.

Glad to see that the reporter acknowledged the “so-called lost city of the Inca” with quotes because it was never lost. I find is humorous that some think 1500 AD is really that far into the past.

Thank you for posting.

The remains, most of which were found in May 2008 at a site called Salapunku, probably date to 500 to 550 years ago...
