Two doll-like figures and an alleged three-fingered hand that were seized by customs authorities in Peru, have been dismissed as “not alien” by scientists.
Picked up in a shipment headed to Mexico last year, forensic experts have determined that the objects were made with paper, glue, metal and human and animal bones.
It comes after Mexico’s congress sparked international debate after hearing testimony purporting to show the existence of extraterrestrial life.
The findings quash some people’s belief that the figures come from an “alien centre or come from another planet, all of which is totally false,” said forensic archaeologist Flavio Estrada, who led the analysis.
“The conclusion is simple: they are dolls assembled with bones of animals from this planet, with modern synthetic glues, therefore they were not assembled during pre-Hispanic times,” Estrada told reporters.
“They are not extraterrestrials; they are not aliens.”
