Peru's "alien mummies," Paloma and Antonio, were unveiled with slanted eyes, three fingers, and intriguing human-like organs, sparking debates among scientists and ufologists.
Dr. David Ruiz Vela revealed Paloma had copper-colored hair, a first among these mummies, suggesting an advanced preservation process, as reported by Daily Mail.
Antonio’s chest revealed a stab wound that broke ribs and perforated internal organs. Dr. Ruiz noted its chilling precision, fueling speculation about ancient violence.
A 2023 study claimed these mummies have DNA with an unknown component, further fueling theories of extraterrestrial origin.
Researchers attribute their preservation to algae fossilization and a toxic adhesive unmatched by ancient methods, deepening the puzzle.
Carbon dating places these beings at 1,500 years old, coinciding with the Nazca civilization, whose iconic lines are linked to extraterrestrial lore.
"Maria," a similar mummy, showed 30% larger cranial volume, no external ear structures, and anatomical features starkly differing from humans, according to Journal of Social and Environmental Management.
Skeptics argue these are pre-Columbian ritual dolls crafted with animal remains, with ufologist Will Galison suggesting alpaca bones were used for fabrication.
Jaime Maussan insists these beings may not be aliens but intelligent creatures who coexisted with humans, stating, "They could rewrite history as we know it."
