Mexican doctors who ran lab tests on the viral ‘alien bodies’ have claimed they found “no evidence of any assembly or manipulation of the skulls.” The doctors carried out a series of tests on the allegedly non-human corpses after scientists and archaeologists around the world argued they were part of an elaborate hoax, Sky News reported.
The mummified ‘alien bodies’ were presented to the Mexican Congress last week in an event orchestrated by journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan. He testified under oath that the “specimens are not relics of our earthly evolution” and were discovered “from diatom (algae) mines, subsequently undergoing fossilisation.”
Maussan has claimed the non-human bodies are 1,000-years-old and were unearthed in Cusco, Peru. He also said that a third of their DNA “remains shrouded in enigmatic mystery.”
On Tuesday, Jose de Jesus Zalce Benitez, a forensic doctor with the navy, conducted a number of tests on the corpses. The whole procedure was livestreamed on Maussan’s YouTube channel.
At the end, Benitez said that lab tests proved the aliens were not assembled with human objects and belonged to a single skeleton. “I can affirm that these bodies have no relation to human beings,” he had previously claimed.
The corpses were reportedly unearthed in Peru in 2017. Each corpse has an elongated head and three fingers on each hand – making them remarkably human-like. However, Maussan has also claimed that they have implants of cadmium and osmium, which is one of the rarest elements on earth.
The humanoid characteristics of the aliens is one reason why critics feel they are a hoax. Physicist Brian Cox is one among such critics – he claims that the bodies are “way too humanoid” to be genuine.
