‘Aliens’ which sparked global debate by Mexican Congress are actually dolls, say Peru scientists

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.”

The Witch, the Dwarf and the Magic Tortilla: the Pyramid of the Magician

Nestled within the lush landscapes of the Yucatan Peninsula, the ancient Mayan city of Uxmal is an unusual site, combining unique architecture with Mayan mythology. At the heart of this archaeological marvel stands the Pyramid of the Magician, a captivating structure that defies convention with its unique elliptical design.

This exceptional cityscape boasts a rich tapestry of history and legend, with the tale of a dwarf and a witch building the temple and weaving magic and mystique into the very stones of Uxmal.

The Magic Egg

Due to the fact the legend of the Pyramid of the Magician wasn’t documented in ancient texts the only versions of the legend we have are oral retellings that have been passed down over the years by the indigenous Maya people. Exactly how old the stories are, as well as the pyramid’s original name is unknown. There are many different versions of the story with relatively minor variations.

The most well-known and best-recorded version of the legend was told to John Lloyd Stephens, an American explorer, writer, and diplomat who made two visits to the site between 1839 and 1841. It was he who made the pyramid famous in his book, Incidents of Travel in the Yucatan. In 1840 Stephens interviewed a local Maya native and was told the following story.

The story tells how long ago where the pyramid now stands was a hut owned and lived in by an old woman, said to be a witch. This old woman one day began to mourn because she had no children.

Mummified ‘aliens’ found in Peru have 30% DNA of an ‘unknown species,’ new analysis claims

The mystery of Mexico‘s ‘aliens‘ is deepening after an analysis claimed the DNA of tiny corpses is not human but of an ‘unknown species.’ 

The nation’s Congress has been a circus for the past two months as controversial UFO enthusiast and journalist Jaime Maussan has held court several times to prove the mummified remains found in Peru are extraterrestrial life.

In his recent attempt, Maussan ushered in a team of researchers who performed a DNA analysis on the figures that showed 30 percent is ‘not from any known species’ and stated that the figures were ‘authentic,’ comprising a single skeleton.

The other 70 percent has not yet been revealed. 

DailyMail.com revealed that a UFO expert who has handled the tiny bodies suggested humans put them together – and the pair could have been made with now-extinct animals 1,000 years ago.

‘This is the first time extraterrestrial life has been presented in this manner, Maussan said to Congress.

‘We have a clear example of non-human specimens unrelated to any known species on our planet. 

‘The public has the right to know about non-human technology and beings. This reality unites humanity rather than dividing us. We are not alone in this vast universe; we should embrace this truth.’ 

Maussan added that the two corpses have sturdy bones, are toothless, and contain implants made of the soft, slivery-white metal cadmium and the bluish-white metal osmium – rare elements on Earth. 

He revealed in September that 30 percent of the DNA was unknown, but it was not until recently that claims of an unknown species surfaced.

Cartel Narco Tank With Cope Cage Anti-Drone Armor Emerges

AMexican drug cartel recently employed an improvised armored truck, also commonly referred to as a “Narco Tank,” with what looks to be a metal screen over the front section of the vehicle. This is reminiscent of the so-called “cope cages” that have become a fixture on tanks and other armored vehicles on both sides of the conflict in Ukraine and that have also now emerged on Israeli tanks. These screens are primarily intended to provide extra protection against drones, something that cartels in Mexico are now regularly employing against government security forces and each other.

The Mexican vehicle in question was a modified Dodge Ram truck with a four-door cab that also had a box-like improvised armored structure at the rear with ports through which individuals inside could fire small arms. It was one of three Narco Tanks that took part in an ambush of Mexican military forces in the country’s state of Jalisco just over a week ago. The Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), or Jalisco New Generation Cartel, carried out the attack on November 19, which also reportedly involved the rapid establishment of roadblocks to hamper the arrival of government reinforcements.

‘Alien Bodies’ Revisited at Second Mexican Congressional Hearing on UFOs

A second Mexican Congressional hearing on UFOs held this week saw further discussion surrounding a pair of peculiar mummified bodies which some contend are aliens. The eyebrow-raising remains said to have been discovered in Peru spawned worldwide headlines back in September when journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan unveiled them to politicians at the first gathering devoted to exploring UFOs. On Tuesday, Mexico’s Congress tackled the topic for a second time and, once again, the mysterious ‘alien’ bodies took center stage with multiple witnesses testifying to their unusual nature.

Sharing new photos and x-rays of the bodies, Dr. Daniel Mendoza reportedly posited that they were of “non-human beings,” while Maussan took it a step further and argued that they were some kind of “new species” and asserted that these entities possessed neither lungs nor ribs. As to suggestions that the remains were cobbled together in a fashion similar to a Fiji Mermaid, anthropologist Roger Zuniga reportedly declared that “there was absolutely no human intervention in the physical and biological formation of these beings.” He also furnished a letter signed by 11 of his colleagues from San Luis Gonzaga National University who echoed that assessment, though they stopped short of calling the beings extraterrestrial.

Texas Journalist’s Home Repeatedly Visited by ‘Corrupt’ FBI for Exposing Possible Hamas Training Camp Near US-Mexico Border – FBI Demands In-Person Meeting to Disclose ‘Sources’ 

The sanctity of a free press and the protection of journalistic sources have come under direct fire in the Lone Star State, according to Sarah Fields, Director of Advocacy for the Texas Freedom Coalition and a reporter for The Publica, after exposing the possible existence of a Hamas training camp near the US-Mexico border.

Fields recently made public a harrowing account of ‘corrupt’ FBI agents arriving unannounced at her doorstep—not once, but twice—in a brazen attempt to intimidate and extract information about her confidential sources.

It began on October 17th when, according to Fields, FBI agents appeared at her doorstep while she was away. She recounts that the agents later contacted her, insisting on a private meeting at their local office to discuss her reporting—particularly stories related to war and the border. Fields, true to the ethos of journalistic integrity, refused.

“It became harassment after I didn’t show up to their private meeting,” said Fields.

I’ve handled the Mexican ‘alien mummies’ that set the world alight last month – I don’t think they’re aliens, I think they’re something much SCARIER

A UFO enthusiast who has seen two supposed ‘alien’ mummies up close has revealed they are probably not ETs – but something perhaps even scarier.

The miniature corpses were presented in Mexico last month by Jaime Maussan, a controversial journalist who has previously made debunked claims of finding aliens and claims they are extraterrestrial.

But ufologist Will Galison – a close friend of the archaeologist who first analyzed the supposed ‘aliens’ – said he believes the ‘corpses’ are dummies that are 1,000 years old – but he does not think they are a hoax.

He said they may have been made from animal remains a millennia ago, possibly for ritual purposes, with the heads bearing a ‘remarkable similarity’ to alpaca skulls. 

Galison – who has performed with Sting, Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon, and Chaka – saw the mummies in 2017 in Peru long before Maussan’s presentation, and had traveled to see them initially because he believed they might be extraterrestrial remains.

Galison said in a documentary interview with UFO TV show Nub TV that he visited Peru twice and even took a cast of one of the mummy ‘heads’.

He said, ‘I’m friendly with the French archaeologist Thierry Jarmin, who is a person who is not mentioned as much as he should be. 

‘He received these mummies in 2016 from a tomb robber. Thierry was very surprised and quite upset by Jaime Maussan’s press conference.’

Maussan claimed in the press conference in September: ‘This is the first time extraterrestrial life is presented in such a form and I think there is a clear demonstration that we are dealing with non-human specimens that are not related to any other species in our world and that any scientific institution can investigate it. We are not alone.’

‘Alien corpse’ row deepens as Peru launches criminal probe into how ‘non-human’ bodies left the country as expert who revealed them in Mexican congress insists he has done ‘nothing illegal’

An investigator who presented ‘non-human’ bodies to Mexico‘s congress has insisted he did ‘absolutely nothing illegal’ as Peru has launched a criminal probe into how the alleged ‘aliens’ left the country.

Journalist and UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan unveiled two corpses alongside forensic scientists last week in what he described as a ‘watershed’ moment.

He has suggested the mummified bodies – which he claims to be 1,000 years old – are one of the most important discoveries in human history.

But most in the scientific community aren’t so sure – suggesting that they are part of an already-debunked, perhaps criminal stunt.

Maussan, 70, claims they were found around 2017 in Peru, near the pre-Columbian Nazca Lines – a mysterious set of ancient geoglyphs.

But now Peruvian officials have furiously questioned how the specimens, which they insist are earthly objects, left the country and came into Maussan’s possession.

Alleged Alien Body X-rayed & CT Scanned

The latest twist in the saga of the alleged alien remains unveiled in Mexico last week saw one of the bodies subjected to an x-ray as well as a CT scan in an attempt to get a better understanding of their nature. The pair of peculiar specimens caused something of a sensation when they were presented to the Mexican Congress by journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan at a hearing last Tuesday evening. Spawning headlines around the world and all manner of amusing memes on social media, the purported non-human entities were largely dismissed by skeptical scientists, who understandably called for further testing on the bodies in order to confirm the fantastic claims surrounding them.

In response to these critics, Maussan reportedly took to YouTube on Monday evening to conduct a proverbial ‘alien autopsy’ in the form of an examination of one of the specimens, dubbed ‘Clara,’ using an x-ray as well as a CT scan. Conducting the studies and offering his analysis along the ufologist was Dr Jose Zalce Benitez, who serves as the director of the Health Sciences Research Institute of the Secretary of the Navy. Perhaps the most compelling insight to come from the examination was that the various scans would seem to suggest that the remains were not cobbled together in a fashion akin to the Fiji mermaid.

“It could not have been the union of a skull of another species attached to this body because the residues of the manipulation of that skull would be seen,” Benitez explained, “the engravings, the fractures, the unions and here they are not observed.” This assessment appeared to be strengthened by an examination of the body’s abdomen which similarly showed no signs of manipulation. “We are once again faced with a body that if it had been modified postmortem, would have a series of alterations that would be visible in these studies,” he observed, “not having found any of these postmortem characteristics, we are determining that it is an organism that was alive, was intact, was biological and was in gestation.”

‘Alien Bodies’ Ufologist Dismisses Analysis, Legal Threat—’I’m Not Worried’

Controversial UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan dismissed claims made in a criminal complaint after two small, mummified specimens were unveiled to Mexican lawmakers during an event on extraterrestrial life.

Maussan, 70, a Mexican sports journalist-turned UFO enthusiast, presented the bodies in display cases earlier this week at the Mexican Congress and claimed they were not related to any life on Earth.

The congressional hearing, which was the first of its kind in Mexico, ignited curiosity in addition to condemnation by scientists.

Maussan claimed the bodies were recovered close to the ancient Nazca Lines in southern Peru and were carbon-dated by Mexico’s National Autonomous University to be about 1,000 years old.

He was also involved in the spread of the Nazca mummy story in 2017, although a 2021 paper published in the International Journal of Biology and Biomedicine that analyzed the remains and said, “the head of the small body is largely made of a deteriorated llama braincase and other unidentified bones.”

Elsa Tomasto, a Peruvian bioanthropologist, was frustrated that Maussan’s claims were given a large platform and cited several other apparent finds that were later found to be fraudulent.

He told Reuters: “What we said before still stands, they are presenting the same rehash as always and if there are people that keep believing, what can we do? It is so crass and so simple that there is nothing more to add.”
