The three-fingered mummified structure discovered in the ancient city of Nazca, Peru, could be a sign of alien existence says a Russian scientist. The scientific community have been calling it a hoax for long but conspiracy theorists have a view to differ. Russian expert has revealed that he did a 'DNA' test on them and they are not human. So are we referring to alien existence, most likely! These mummies date back to 6,500 years ago.

According to a report published in The Daily Mail, Dr Konstantin Korotkov, a professor of Computer Science and Biophysics at Saint-Petersburg Federal University, said the mummies are 'aliens'.  Dr. Korotov also happens to be the same one who claimed in 2008 that he had a camera to capture the human soul. He was quoted to Sputnik news, "Each of the little mummies has two arms, two legs, a head, a pair of eyes and a mouth. The tissue has biological nature and their chemical composition indicates that they are humans. Their DNA features 23 pairs of chromosomes, just like we have." But he maintains that they do appear as humans but they are not!

A skeletal specialist, Dr Edson Vivanco had also expressed a similar view when he said the remains are definitely 'non-human.' These three-fingered mummies look bizzare to most and have even been called fake before. These mummies were discovered in 2017 by a team which was led by controversial Mexican journalist Jamie Maussan. There were thoughts about the deformities on them and thus challenging them to be real ones.

So while most scientists called it a hoax, some are still studying the mummifies structures. British alien expert Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, has also dismissed the conclusions as a hoax. He told the MailOnline, "I think the whole saga of finding these mummies is laughable and they are very probably fakes. If you think about it how would humanoid aliens with three long fingers survive? They would be incredibly clumsy and it seems doubtful they would be capable of making a cup of tea let alone a flying saucer." Several others too have dismissed the idea of probable aliens. Some research had also said that humans can meet aliens by next century. But it still looks like the questions of alien existence are still a mystery and mummies would definitely not be the answer!
