Yeah like the other commenter said this isn’t it, nobody is commuting up and down 10,000’ on a regular basis, especially in antiquity. Just because different elevations “look close” on a map means nothing.

Far more likely is this is a concentrated population of folks with highly desirable traits for distance running.
