Nazca Peru has become famous for those who like to peer into the world of unsolved mysteries. Take for example, the Nazca Lines, a series of large ancient geoglyphs ranging in size, with the largest being 1200 feet long. The world is full of interesting unsolved mysteries that question what we think we know about human history, and new discoveries are constantly being made, many of which receive very little attention. This really goes to  show just how little we know of human history, and how new discoveries show us that there are so many variables that we really need to take into consideration when contemplating our past. There are still may questions which remain unanswered. 

A new discovery has been made in Nazca, Peru. If you haven’t already heard, multiple mummies have been unearthed and they’re actually real organic bodies. Their anatomy is quite strange, and differs greatly from that of a human. The beings are humanoid, and have three fingers and three toes on each hand, with a distinctly different shape of a skull compared to modern day humans, as well as those who roamed the Earth before we did.

This is also interesting because three fingered beings are depicted in ancient petroglyphic drawings that’ve been found in Peru.

Now, before we go any further, we have to address the ‘alien issue.’ When the news came out about these strange bodies being unearthed, Snopes.com instantly labelled the story as fake news, specifically because it contemplated the idea that they could be alien bodies. How does this make it fake news? They (Snopes) did not even acknowledge the fact that these were indeed real bodies, they simply ridiculed the story because it had an ‘alien’ tone to it. They also ridiculed the researchers involved, as what seemed to be an attempt to further discredit the story by ridiculing the people. As a result, many people believed that the bodies were not found at all, which is not true.

Secondly, is it really far off to contemplate that these beings could be alien? With all of the evidence and information that’s been released over the years regarding UFOs, and their potential extraterrestrial origin as well as various interpretations of ancient history, it’s really not at all that “out there” (no pun intended) to question. We will get to why later in the article.

But let’s get back to the bodies. One of them is named Maria, she’s a 5th century woman who predates the arrival of the Europeans to America. So far, scientists have shared their belief that she belonged to a race that was wiped from Earth due to some climate catastrophe, like a flood or a comet strike. 

Maria isn’t the only one, scientists are also studying a nine-year old mummy called Vavita, and four other male mummies.

Who are these scientists? One of them is Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, a professor of Computer Science and Biophysics at Saint-Petersburg Federal University of Informational Technologies, Mechanics and Optics. He is also a researcher at the Russian National Research University. He 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.” 

Another one is Natalya Zaloznaya, a radiologist and specialist in computer tomography at the International Biological Systems Institute. She was also in Peru collecting tissue samples to bring back to St. Petersburg for analysis.

Again, there are many. Below is another one pictured analyzing preliminary results which showed that “This body is a real body, that was once alive. For example, here we have the teeth from the upper arch, and here are the ones from the lower arch. The skull with the remains of brain mass, this part here shows the lungs at the side. This is the heart, with the bronchus, and the great vessels, lungs at both sides. This is still the heart, and here are the four cavities, and the bronchi that are preserved.”

They also show the intestines and abdomen, and that the placement of the internal organs is “completely harmonious.”

So far it seems that “initial examinations suggest the possibility of a species unlike anything found in the fossil record.”

Early DNA results of the mummy, named “Maria,” show that she is female, and that the other bodies found alongside her, which look to be a spouse and a couple of children, are also real, biological bodies. Some of their organs are actually still intact. Further testing was done on one of the strangest aspects of these bodies, their fingers and toes, and has shown that these parts are not fake, ruling out any possibility of a hoax. They’re the same material, the same chemical composition, and the same DNA. The samples taken from Maria’s fingers matched the date of her body, which is approximately 249-411 AD. Carbon dating, and an analysis of the structure of the body via CT scan and X-ray, proved it was real.
