In Mexico, the presentation of “alien mummies” in Congress caused a stir. Jaime Maussan, a ufologist, showed the bodies of alleged beings from another planet, found in Peru. However, the response from scientists did not take long to appear.
Experts from the National Autonomous University of Mexico They refuted Maussan’s theories, in addition to denying that what was taught in Congress were extraterrestrial beings.
Let’s remember what happened. Maussan brought to Congress mummies that, in his words, are from extraterrestrials. Bones of small beings, with large heads and slanted eye sockets, that were found in Nazca, Peru.
He did so during a session pompously titled Public hearing for the regulation of Unidentified Anomalous Aerial Phenomena, following those carried out by US congressmen together with NASA.
To the amazement, A group of scientists came out.
The physical José Franco and Alejandro Frank, the biologist Antonio Lazcano, the philosopher Gabriela Frías and Gustavo Medina Tanco, head of the Space Instrumentation Laboratory, spoke on the subject.
Franco was forceful about it: “Nowhere has life been found, and no intelligence has been found in Congress either.” For Frías, what happened within the limits of Mexican law was “a pseudoscientific event, “which alludes to our fantasies, desires and fears.”
For his part, Lazcano elaborated: “We are the only known form of life in the Universe; “That doesn’t mean that there aren’t other forms of life in other parts of the Universe, but it doesn’t mean that there are either.”
But, What really are these bodies shown by Jaime Maussan?
As the Wired portal explains, following the opinion of academics, archaeologists and scientists, they are modified pre-Hispanic human bodies, in addition to bodies armed with animal and human bones.
Already in Peru these bodies were pointed out as fakes with real human parts.
Even the Ministry of Culture of the South American country urged the Mexican authorities to hand over the human archaeological remains, since “they do not have permits to be excavated or extracted, nor for carrying out studies or analysis.”
What is unusual, after all, is not the bodies, but the entire circus set up around them.
