After months of speculation and wild conspiracy theories, forensic experts in Peru have conclusively determined that the mysterious mummified remains, initially thought to be otherworldly creatures, are nothing more than elaborately crafted dolls. The figures, with their distinctive three-fingered hands and elongated heads, were found to be constructed using a combination of paper, glue, metal, and a mix of human and animal bones, according to the country's prosecutor's office.
Forensic Analysis
The forensic archaeologist leading the analysis, Flavio Estrada, unequivocally stated that the dolls were assembled using bones from earthly animals, modern synthetic glues, and metal, ruling out any pre-Hispanic origins. The expert revealed that the dolls' hands, which were poorly constructed, were fashioned using human bones.
Debunking Extraterrestrial Claims
Despite the initial fervent claims of ufologist José Jaime Maussan and some Mexican lawmakers, the dolls were proven not to be extraterrestrial beings. Maussan had previously asserted that the figures, named Clara and Mauricio, were between 700 and 1,800 years old and found near the pre-Columbian Nazca Lines. However, further examination revealed that the dolls were dressed in colorful clothes and were not ancient artifacts as claimed.
Unraveling the Conspiracy
While conspiracy theories ran rampant, it was ultimately uncovered that the dolls were sent to a Mexican citizen and later seized by South American customs agents. The bizarre nature of the dolls sparked wild speculations and even led to claims about the remains' DNA belonging to an 'unknown species.' However, subsequent investigations and expert testimonies debunked these assertions, revealing the intricate deception behind the dolls.
Continuing Investigations
Although the true origins of the dolls and the motivations behind their creation remain shrouded in mystery, authorities are determined to uncover the full extent of the elaborate hoax. The revelation of these dolls not only dispels the extraterrestrial theories but also underscores the need for thorough scrutiny and skepticism in the face of extraordinary claims.
