Researchers have found mummified bodies of unknown creatures in the Nazca desert, Peru. The finding caused vivid debate about whether the bodies belong to humans or aliens.
The mummies are about 168 cm big, completely white, with three fingers and toes. Their bodies, which were defined as belonging to female species, have no ears and noses.
Sputnik Mundo talked to a number of experts and government agencies to shed light on the alleged extraterrestrial origin of the mummies.
In an interview with Sputnik, Konstantin Korotkov, professor with the National Research University in St. Petersburg, who took part in the international expedition that discovered the unusual finding, expressed his opinion on the issue.
According to the expert, the most important thing at this stage is to "
compare the genes of the mummy with the genes of different people."
"After that, it will become clear whether it is a Cro-Magnon, namely, a mutation of our species, or it's another kind of creature. At the moment, we can't draw deeper conclusions," Korotkov said.
Commenting on the idea about the extraterrestrial origin of the mummies, the professor noted that he does not share this hypothesis.
Comment: The extraterrestrial origin is only alleged at this point, as one researcher that was part of the discovery, Professor Konstantin Korotkov with the National Research University in St. Petersburg, does not subscribe to the notion that the remains discovered were of extraterrestrial origin. A separate hypothesis from another expert states: Nevertheless, it remains an intriguing discovery whether the remains are from Earth or not. But the assurance of Jamie Maussan that aliens were discovered seems to be rather hasty.
