A remarkable mummified body has been discovered in Nazca, Peru. While mummies can draw attention, this particular find may alter the story of human origins. The crouched mummified body of a humanoid figure with an elongated skull and three fingers on each hand is certainly fascinating, but is it real? And if it is, what could it tell us about human history?
Gaia.com recently released information regarding the discovery of these mummified bodies. They have three fingers and it looks unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. Gaia has teamed up with a number of researchers and scientists to determine the origins of the specimen.
The story came to them from well-known and well-respected investigative journalist Jaime Maussan, who is calling this “one of the most important discoveries of the 21st century.”
Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, a professor of Computer Science and Biophysics at Saint-Petersburg Federal University of Informational Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, said, “we have a very important mission here in Peru. I came here because of this group of scientists, professionals, [and] journalists.” When they brought out the body and “pulled it out of the box, it was a stunned silence at first.”
hat’s also very intriguing is the fact that it was discovered near the Nazca Lines, a series of huge ancient geoglyphs in Southern Peru’s Nazca Desert. The largest figures are up to 1,200 ft (370 m) long.
Author Graham Hancock describes his experience in one of his books, Fingerprints of the Gods:
Below us now there’s a pair of parallel lines, almost two miles long, arrow straight all the way to vanishing point. And there, off to the right, a series of abstract shapes on a scale so vast – and yet so precisely executed – that it seems inconceivable they could have been the work of men. The people around here say that they were not the work of men, but of demigods, the Viracochas, who also left their fingerprints elsewhere in the Andean region many thousands of years ago.
So far it seems that “initial examinations suggest the possibility of a species unlike anything found in the fossil record.”
According to comments from those examining it, the mummy’s grey-white color is said to be from the drying powder used to preserve it. While balled up in a fetal position, it’s extrapolated to be 168cm (5’6”) tall and looks like a human except for the head, hands and feet. While it appears fragile, they don’t treat it like a precious relic or possible alien body – the mummy is grabbed by the legs and lifted forcefully out of a cardboard box. Unlike the secrecy involved with many of these finds, someone apparently gave permission for a piece of skin to be removed for carbon dating and allowed the mummy to be CAT scanned.
The carbon test dates the mummy’s origin at between 245 – 410 CE. The CAT scan shows the elongated skull and multi-jointed bones in the fingers and toes. The fingers resemble the three-fingered hand also found in Peru in late 2016 and the exterior of the head – with its slit eyes and missing ears and nose – looks like the miniature “alien” skull also allegedly found in Peru in 2016.
Will it float? The story of the mummy has some holes. They don’t seem to mention exactly when or where it was found and make a loose connection to the Nazca Lines, which have in common the fact that both are in Peru, but seemingly not much more. The elongated skull joins the other elongated skulls of the area in the debate over head-binding. A more interesting connection involves some references to three-fingered and three-toed figures in ancient South American art and petroglyphs. Those are dots that a little closer to connecting.
Is this anything? Melissa Tittl, Gaia’s Director of Original Content, says in the video that DNA testing is underway. That important item would seem to be the first and best piece of evidence to reveal, but then there would be no need for future videos or trips to Peru. Dr. Korotkov seems convinced that this is “another creature, another humanoid,” but really offers no concrete evidence that would negate a need for DNA testing.
For now, it looks like we’ll have to wait for the DNA test and the next video before deciding if Korotkov’s argument floats and resolves if this is anything, like an alien humanoid, or just another stupid human trick.
