Two teenagers who were strangled 1,500 years ago as part of an ancient Andean funeral rite were closely related to the adults they were buried with.
Experts had long assumed that elite Moche burial groups consisted of related family members.
Researchers conducted genetic analysis to determine how six people in the tomb were related.
They found that the adolescent boy was sacrificed upon his father's death and the adolescent girl was sacrificed when her aunt died.
