The results are out.
Forensic experts have determined that the mummified remains of a tiny “inhuman” discovered in Peru over the summer and sparked dozens of alien conspiracy theories are nothing more than a doll.
The country's public prosecutor's office said Friday that the creepy figure, with only three fingers on each hand and an elongated ET-style head, was made of paper, glue, metal and human and animal bones.
“The conclusion is simple: these are dolls assembled from the bones of terrestrial animals with modern synthetic adhesives, and therefore were not assembled in pre-Hispanic times,” said Flavio, the forensic archaeologist who led the analysis.・Mr. Estrada told reporters.
“They are not extraterrestrials. They are not aliens.”
Experts showed reporters Friday the 6-foot-long doll, which is dressed in red, orange and green.
They said tests showed that bones of birds, dogs and other animals were used to create the statue. However, the hand was “very poorly constructed” and was made of human bone.
Authorities still do not know who owns the strange doll, saying only that it was sent to a Mexican national before being seized by South American customs officials.
Conspiracy theories swirled in September when UFO researcher José Jaime Morsan and some Mexican lawmakers insisted on the floor of Congress that the corpse was real.
Morsan claimed that the remains, which he named Clara and Mauricio, discovered in Cusco, Peru in 2017 near the pre-Columbian Nazca Lines are between 700 and 1,800 years old.
“This is the first time[extraterrestrial life]has been presented in this way, and we are dealing with non-human specimens that have no relation to other species in our world. “I think this is clear evidence that this is the case,” he said. September.
Last month, Morsan and researchers testified that 30% of the DNA on the remains was from an “unknown species”, while the rest of the DNA remains unknown.
The research team also presented images of the cadaver that showed it was missing lungs and ribs. This is not surprising considering that these two were handmade dolls.
UFO enthusiasts made similar claims about corpse-like dolls in 2017, but later described them as “recently manufactured dolls covered with a mixture of paper and synthetic glue to mimic the presence of skin.” It turned out to be.
Although the figurine's mystery has been solved, it is still being investigated how it was transported to Mexico after being confiscated in Peru.
Peru's Culture Minister Leslie Urteaga filed a criminal complaint in September, claiming the dolls were pre-Hispanic.
