The "alien mummies" shown to Mexico's Congress

The claim

"Two 1,000-year-old non-human bodies were presented to lawmakers."

Where the idea comes from

Journalist Jaime Maussan presented two small mummified bodies, said to come from near Nazca, Peru, at a hearing in Mexico's Congress.

What the evidence shows

1. In 2024 Peruvian forensic experts examined similar figures seized from the same network and said they were dolls assembled from human and animal bones, held together with paper and modern synthetic glue.
2. The bodies' X-rays show mixed anatomy and inconsistencies typical of composites.
3. Maussan had previously presented "alien" remains, including in 2015, that turned out to be a human child.

What is still open

No independent, peer-reviewed study supports a non-human origin.

Our verdict

Debunked Forensic experts found assembled bones and glue.
