If youāre wary of heights, the cable car ride will be extra exciting for you as it steeply plunges down hundreds of feet into the valley below, especially with high winds. . Up top, situated at 3,000 meters (9,843 feet) in the citadel ruins of KuĆ©lap, fortified by walls reaching 20 meters (65.6 feet) high, the structure I found most curious is known as the āinkwell,ā an inverted cone-shaped stone building used for sacrificial ceremonial purposes. . With intricacies such as animals and faces carved outside, and inside, bones dating more than 2,000 years old were found. . Another strange aspect was the lone tower on the ridge, which was used not primarily for defense but for launching objects up into the sky to bring about rain. . Unlike Machu Picchu, the majority of KuĆ©lap has yet to be excavated and tall trees still stand among the ruins. . Green foliage with bright red bromeliads shade the ancient structures from the strong ecuatorial sun. . #kuelap #ancientruins #citadel #chachapoyas #peru #makeitrain #travelstories #archeology #anthropology (at Fortaleza de KuĆ©lap) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5saDyUhxqJ/?igshid=ixp8z8rug7ly

The Chachapoyas region was conquered by the Inca Empire in the late 15th century. Knowledge of the fate of the local population has been based largely on Inca oral histories, written down only decades later after the Spanish conquest. The Inca accounts claim that the native population was forcibly resettled out of Chachapoyas and dispersed across the Inca Empire. However, a new study in Scientific Reports, by an international team including researchers from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, uses genetic evidence to reveal that despite Inca conquest, the population of Chachapoyas has remained genetically distinct, and not assimilated with that of the Inca heartland.
Despite their spectacular achievements, from the first cities of the Americas to the Inca Empire, the indigenous peoples of the Andes left no written histories. One legacy that can now be read, however, is the genetic diversity of their descendants today, especially when taken together with the rich archaeology of the Andes and the prehistory of its native languages. This is the approach taken in a new study in Scientific Reports to test the demographic legacy of the Incas.
The study emerges out of a collaboration between research institutes in Peru and in Germany, including the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History. The focus is on a key region in the cloud-forest transition between the Andes and Amazonia in northern Peru. Here the Incas encountered fierce resistance from the "Warriors of the Clouds," the Chachapoyas culture, noted particularly for its distinctive body-shaped sarcophagi and the monumental fortress of Kuelap, the "Machu Picchu of the north." Particularly to punish and to secure control over such rebellious lands, the Incas are thought to have resettled millions of people across the "Four Quarters" of their empire, Tawantinsuyu. Chachapoyas was reportedly singled out for such treatment, making it an ideal case for using genetics to test the accuracy of Inca oral histories, which were not written down until almost a century later, by the Spanish conquistadors.

Ćlbum: KUĆLAP, joya de los Chachapoyas
KuĆ©lap o CuĆ©lap es un importante sitio arqueológico preinca ubicado en los Andes nororientales del PerĆŗ, en la Provincia de Luya, fue construido por la cultura arqueológica Chachapoyas. Forma un conjunto arquitectónico de piedra de grandes dimensiones caracterizado por su condición monumental, con una gran plataforma artificial, orientada de sur a norte, asentada sobre la cresta de roca calcĆ”rea en la cima del Cerro Barreta (a 3000 msnm.). La plataforma se extiende a lo largo de casi 600 metros y tiene como perĆmetro una muralla que en algunos puntos alcanza 19 metros de altura. Se estima que su construcción debió iniciarse hacia el siglo XI, coincidiendo con el periodo de florecimiento de la cultura Chachapoyas, y su ocupación debió culminar hacia mitades del siglo XVI. Sus colosales murallas y su compleja arquitectura interior son evidencias de su función como un conjunto poblacional bien organizado, que incluye recintos de Ćndole administrativa, religiosa, espacios ceremoniales y de residencia permanente.
