The lawsuit that Peru filed against Yale in December moved closer to New Haven this summer when a federal judge in Washington ruled that his court had no jurisdiction over the matter.

Yale and Peru inched closer to court this summer, as a nearly century-old controversy over Inca artifacts grew even more complex in a few short months.

The Peruvian government announced Sunday that an inventory it conducted of Machu Picchu objects currently housed at Yale found some 40,000 pieces — about 10 times the number Yale had previously announced.

Peruvian officials traveled to Yale this weekend for the second time in a year, suggesting that an end to the almost 100-year-old dispute over the ownership of Inca artifacts could be imminent, officials on both sides said.
