Earlier in March, two newly excavated "alien" mummies from Peru caused a wave of controversy since X-ray and ultrasound data of the mummies were published, causing archaeologists to worry that these could be ancient people dug up by grave robbers.
Mr Maussan has theorised that the mummies could be “hybrids” between humans and aliens. His scientific colleagues also claim that the new specimens contain “30 per cent unidentified DNA”.
However, many critics have cast doubt on Mr Maussan's claims. "I personally believe the mummies are human beings, not humanoid aliens," said Latin American historian Christopher Heaney.
Last week, Mr. Maussan announced that scientists from Europe would soon conduct DNA tests on the mummies. However, archaeologists and historians of the ancient world of Peru continue to oppose such efforts, arguing that the bodies are not “aliens” as they appear.
According to historian Heaney, many of the "alien"-like mummies unearthed with elongated heads are the result of head-binding practices that were common thousands of years before the Spanish and Portuguese arrived in the Americas.
Furthermore, centuries of tomb robbing, restoration, and haphazard reburials, and the sale of genuine and fake Peruvian “antiques” on the black market, have created a profound confusion about the country’s historical artifacts.
However, Mr. Maussan and his collaborators insist that examination of the mummies with medical CT scans and other equipment has confirmed that they do not belong to this Earth, although the data they published remains controversial.
