Three-fingered ‘alien mummies’ uncovered in Peru have largely been dismissed as a hoax by the scientific community, but a new study has suggested otherwise.
A recent imaging analysis on one of the humanoids named ‘Maria’ found it has biological similarities to that of a human – but with ‘many morphological and anatomical structural differences.’
The creature’s bones were observed to flow smoothly under the mummified casing, in a way that is found throughout the human body, and its elongated skull showed no signs of artificial cranial deformation.
The team was also able to date the mummy to between 240AD and 383AD, ‘indicating its coexistence with the ancient Nazca civilization,’ they shared in the study.
Maria, labeled M01, was one of six mummies found inside the tomb in Nazca, a city in southern Peru in 2017 – a nine-month-old child and four males were also uncovered.
Journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan found the mummies and has paraded many of them in front of Mexico’s Congress, claiming they are alien beings that once walked on Earth.
