What! The mysterious alien mummies found in Peru were murdered?
The Nazca desert in Peru, famous for its mysterious geoglyphs, has also become the center of a modern mystery that is among the most famous mysteries of the world. Since 2017, some small, strange mummified bodies with elongated skulls, three fingers, and a strange appearance. Initially dismissed by many as hoaxes or made-up stories, these so-called 'alien' mummies regained attention in 2023 when they were publicly displayed during Mexico's first-ever congressional hearing on unidentified aerial phenomena (UFOs). Uncovered by journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan, the mummies were originally presented as possible extraterrestrial remains. DNA analyses appeared to show that some of the specimens were partially human while others were linked to unknown species, and there were also discussions about how these mysterious beings may have died. A new series of forensic examinations now suggests that some of these mummies may not have simply died naturally or through ritual burial. Shocking new evidence points to violent and traumatic deaths, giving a darker chapter in the already controversial story of Peru's Nazca mummies. Were there violent ends to these mummies? Recent analysis conducted by Dr. Jose Zalce, former director of the Mexican Navy Medical Department, has brought forward chilling new details, and according to Daily Star, Zalce examined 21 mummified bodies and confirmed that three in particular, Maria, Montserrat, and Antonio, show signs of having died violently. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Maria, believed to be a 5'6" female aged between 35 and 45 years, showed clear indications of trauma. Zalce's examination revealed 'a deep cut and bite marks on her lower pelvis, along with multiple small puncture wounds extending from her tailbone to her hip.' He further said that 'the skin and fat in the area had been removed, and two of her tailbone vertebrae were broken.' A zigzag-shaped wound suggested she may have suffered a fatal fall. , Zalce concluded that this evidence strongly points to a 'violent and traumatic' death. In Montserrat's case, a CT scan uncovered a chest wound between the fifth and sixth ribs, and fractures in the scapula and ribs. The positioning suggested she was upright with her back against a hard surface when she died. Apart from that, another notable conclusion was that Montserrat, like Maria, had an elongated skull and three fingers, as well as intact internal organs. Antonio's body, studied by Dr. David Ruiz Vela, former president of Peru's Medical Association, revealed a deadly stab wound. 'The injury was severe,' Dr. Vela reported, with broken ribs and perforated internal organs, including the liver and abdomen. 'These are yet more pieces of clear and irrefutable evidence that these bodies are 100% genuine, real, and organic, having once been alive,' Zalce said. Whether human, hybrid, or something else, these mysterious remains now tell more of a chilling story, one not just of their origins, but possibly of their violent end.

Scientists Say Peru's Mystery ‘Alien' Mummies May Have Been Murdered
Last Updated: New findings claim the three-fingered bodies with elongated skulls are real and date back over 1,200 years. Scientists examining a set of mysterious three-fingered mummified bodies found in Peru now believe that some of them may have died violent deaths and were possibly murdered. 'These are yet more pieces of clear and irrefutable evidence that these bodies are 100% genuine, real, and organic having once been alive," said Dr José Zalce, former director of the Mexican Navy Medical Department, who is leading the investigation, according to the Star which cited local Peruvian news media outlets. Zalce said he has studied 21 of the so-called 'Nazca mummies" in detail, examining their fingerprints, bone structures, muscular anatomy, and internal organs. Among the most closely analysed are two female mummies named Maria and Montserrat and a male specimen identified as Antonio. The mummies were first discovered in 2017 in Peru's Nazca desert and presented to the public in Mexico two years ago. At the time, they were introduced as potential non-human beings not part of Earth's evolutionary chain. Initial DNA tests had sparked headlines, suggesting the remains were part-human and part unknown species. That led to Mexico's first-ever congressional hearing on unidentified aerial phenomena. However, the credibility of the find was challenged last year, when forensic experts claimed the specimens could be fabricated from papier-mâché, animal bones and glue. Maria, believed to have been between 35 and 45 years old and standing about 5 feet 6 inches tall, had suffered multiple injuries. These included a deep cut and bite marks near her pelvis, puncture wounds along her lower back, and broken vertebrae near the tailbone. She also appeared to have sustained a zigzag-shaped wound consistent with a fall onto rocks. Montserrat, who was likely aged between 16 and 25, had a puncture wound between the fifth and sixth ribs. CT scans revealed extensive internal trauma, including broken ribs and a fractured shoulder blade. Experts said she may have been upright with her back against a hard surface at the time of death. Antonio, the male specimen, had what appeared to be a stab wound to the left side of his chest. Dr David Ruiz Vela, former president of Peru's Medical Association, said the injury had broken ribs, pierced the abdomen and caused internal bleeding. 'He has a stab that broke his ribs on the left side of his chest, penetrating the chest, abdomen, liver and completely perforating him inside," Vela told the Peruvian news media outlets. All three bodies have elongated skulls, three fingers and toes, and preserved internal organs such as hearts, livers, and intestines. The new findings made the scientists suggests that the bodies are at least 1,200 years old and show no signs of being artificially assembled. What remains unclear is where these beings came from or whether they were part of any known ancient civilisation. Investigations are ongoing and researchers say further DNA and material analysis may help solve one of the strangest scientific mysteries of recent years. First Published: May 27, 2025, 21:01 IST
