Experts dissect three-fingered Peruvian ‘alien mummy’ – and make shocking discovery beneath its flesh
EXPERTS have shared images of a shocking discovery made under the flesh of an apparent three-fingered Peruvian alien mummy.
The creepy video appeared to show a scientist uncovering a metal implant under the bones of a hugely contested extraterrestrial body.
A Mexican Navy forensics doctor, Dr Jose Zalce Benitez, and reporter Fernando Correa Dominguez claimed they started work dissecting around a dozen small specimens from supposed alien mummies.
The bones, known as the Nazca Tridactyls and named after the region in Peru they are said to be from, were believed to have been found by tomb raiders.
An eerie video showed Dr Zalce dissecting one of the so-called alien hands.
The doctor pulled a small metal sheet from the seven-centimeter-long hand.
Dr Zalce claimed this “light metal” implant appeared to show some scientific ability, he told the MailOnline.
“It is a very complex metal alloy that requires special knowledge and techniques to be able to achieve it with such quality and purity,” Dr Zalce said.
“It was possible to identify elements such as aluminium, tin, silver, copper, cadmium and osmium among others in smaller quantities and percentages,” he added.
This shocking video also appeared to show two bones uncovered from the hand.
Dr Zalce explained that he used a special serum to rehydrate the mummified hand to remove the metal implant and the bones.
Correa claimed the specimens found in Peru resembled the hands of a series of supposed alien mummies presented to the Mexican Congress last year.
News of the Nazca “alien mummies” rocked the world when the Central American country confirmed it would carry out tests on the bizarre bones and bodies.
Both sets of alien specimens have drawn scepticism and controversy surrounding their validity.
A forensic archaeologist at Peru’s Institute for Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences, Dr Flavio Estrada, shared a scathing attack on these apparent alien bodies.
The expert said they were dolls “assembled with bones of animals from this planet, with modern synthetic glues.”
What are the Peruvian 'alien mummies'?
News of supposed mummy remains that turned up at a Peruvian airport last year made headlines around the world.
The phenomena started when a pair of “alien mummies” were confiscated from a DHL by a customs officer in Lima, Peru.
These mummy figures had three fingers on each hand and were around the size of a doll.
Peruvian archaeologist, Flavio Estrada, ruled out any connection to alien life and said they were made from animal bones.
Despite this, the mystery of these supposed alien remains has continued.
Last September, two of these apparent alien bodies were presented at a Mexcian congressional hearing.
A Mexican journalist, Jaime Maussan, claimed the mummified bodies were 1,000 years old and had been found in Peru in 2017.
His claims were later rejected by experts who believed mummified human remains and animal bones were used to make these odd-looking beings.
“They’re not extraterrestrials, they are not intraterrestrials, they are not a new species, they are not hybrids,” he said.
“It’s totally a made-up story,” the archaeologist added.
A UFO expert, Nigel Watson, told The MailOnline why he was also hesitant about these findings.
“I’m no expert on ancient mummified bodies but they tend to be more leatherish looking,” he said.
“This seems to be a plastercast over a bone structure with three fingers attached to the hands.
“Such hoaxes are the product of wishful thinking mixed with greed and a lust for publicity.”
