Executive Summary
AI-generatedArchaeologists discovered the skeleton of a baby with a single eye in a 1600-year-old tomb belonging to the ancient Nazca people in Peru. DNA analysis revealed that this rare developmental condition, known as cyclopia, was genetically linked to Trisomy 13. The findings also highlighted the ancient burial practices, noting that another unrelated baby was found in the same ceramic container.
Key Insights
- A baby skeleton exhibiting cyclopia (a single eye) was found in a Middle Nazca period tomb in the Palpa Valley, Peru.

- The tomb dates back approximately 1600 years, corresponding to the period between 325 and 440 AD.
- The excavation revealed a second baby's remains in the same ceramic pot, and DNA analysis confirmed they were not related.
- The lack of special markers in the burial suggests the community treated the child similarly to other children.
