Chile’s mysterious, oblong-headed ‘Atacama skeleton’ may have once been a small class of terrestrial humanoid living in the high caves of the South American Andes, at least according to the man who has spent a decade studying the being.
This Spanish businessman and researcher who now owns the eerie, but tiny, skeletal mummy dropped his new theory on Spain‘s Mitele TV network late last week.
Sensational origin stories have trailed Chile’s ‘Atacama skeleton’ ever since the six-inch-long ‘alien‘ mummy was first taken from an abandoned church in the ghost town of La Noria, 3,225-feet above sea level in the arid Atacama Desert.
But seven experts in infant anatomy and anthropology maintain that there is nothing at all unusual about the skeleton, nicknamed ‘Ata’ — even as other small mummies have been presented before Mexico’s Congress as proof of extraterrestrial life.
One expert called the new theory ‘absurd,’ telling DailyMail.com it was ‘not based on scientific evidence, or just knowledge of normal anatomical development of babies.’
