A recent discovery of suspected 'alien mummies' in Peru has sparked intrigue and debate within the scientific community and beyond. The humanoid figures, unveiled at a congress hearing in Mexico, have raised questions about their origins and authenticity.
During the unveiling, ufologist Jaime Maussan presented the figures as 1,000-year-old 'non-human entities' that may have come from outer space. The revelation was met with both excitement and skepticism, with some dismissing the alleged ET corpses as a hoax.
However, a US attorney, along with forensic medical examiners, examined one of the bodies named 'Maria' and found that its fingerprints did not match those of humans. The unusual straight-line patterns on the fingerprints raised further questions about the mummies' nature.
While the strange fingerprints puzzled experts, it is cautioned that drawing definitive conclusions about the mummies' origins is premature. One theory suggests that the preservation method used on the bodies may have influenced the fingerprint patterns.
Researchers have suggested that the mummies were buried for centuries inside diatoms, a type of algae that preserves bodies by inhibiting bacterial and fungal growth. The elongated heads and three-fingered hands of the 'Nazca mummies' have added to their mystique.
Despite claims by Maussan that the bodies are extraterrestrial in nature and contain unknown DNA, skeptics have pointed to alternative explanations. Peruvian authorities have dismissed the mummies as 'dolls' made from a combination of materials, including human and animal bones.
While some believe the mummies could be evidence of a new species or genetic manipulation, others argue that they may simply be ancient human remains. The ongoing debate surrounding the 'alien mummies' continues to captivate both believers and skeptics alike.
