It may be noted that the mummies were presented by UFO enthusiast and journalist Jaime Maussan, who said that the corpses are between 700 and 1,800 years old, with X-rays showing one has mysterious "eggs" inside.
"These specimens are not part of our terrestrial evolution… These aren't beings that were found after a UFO wreckage. They were found in diatom [algae] mines, and were later fossilised," Maussan stated, as per the New York Post.
"I think there is a clear demonstration that we are dealing with non-human specimens that are not related to any other species in our world and that all possibilities are open for any scientific institution... to investigate it," he added.
However, multiple experts slammed the claims as "unsubstantiated" and a "hoax".
According to the physicist and presenter Professor Brian Cox, who was among the critics, has claimed that they were "way too humanoid" to be genuine, Sky News reported. He also has been calling for a sample to be sent to the biotechnology company 23andme for independent verification.
"It's very unlikely that an intelligent species that evolved on another planet would look like us," he said last week.
Julieta Fierro, a scientist at Mexico’s National Autonomous University’s Institute of Astronomy, had also said none of the evidence shows “anything mysterious that could not indicate life compounds that do not exist on Earth,” and the Peruvian government has claimed the remains are simply pre-Hispanic objects.
