Mystery around controversial Peru 'alien mummies' deepens after new fingerprint analysis indicates they're NOT 'HUMAN'

Bizarre diagonal grooves on nan fingertips and toes of 1 of Peru's eerie and hotly debated 'alien mummies' points to a nonhuman root for these overseas remains.

Worldwide controversy has followed nan mini peculiar specimens since September, when veteran broadcast journalist and prolific UFO interrogator Jaime Maussan first presented 2 alleged 'alien' corpses to Mexico's legislature past year.

Now DailyMail.com has spoken to a erstwhile Colorado charismatic and existent defense attorney, who has examined 1 of nan complete half-a-dozen 'alien' specimens pinch nan thief of 3 independent forensic aesculapian examiners from nan United States.   

'These were not accepted quality fingerprint patterns,' that attorney, Joshua McDowell, told DailyMail.com.

The usage of fingerprints — aliases what are technically known arsenic 'friction ridge' tegument impressions — dates backmost arsenic acold arsenic 300 BC successful China according to nan US Department of Justice's Fingerprint Sourcebook.

And criminal forensic investigators successful America person agelong systematized nan hunt for unsocial features ever since these patterns first came into usage by US rule enforcement successful 1902, opening pinch 3 wide types of fingerprint: arches, loops and whorls.

But 'María,' nan alleged 'alien' mummy that McDowell and his forensic doctors examined, appeared to person fingerprints that matched nary known quality pattern.

'We did not spot immoderate loops aliases whorls connected nan prints of nan fingers aliases connected nan toes,' McDowell, now main astatine the McDowell Law Firm, told DailyMail.com.

'I'm a erstwhile prosecutor. I'm a criminal defense attorney. I've seen tons of fingerprints. And these were not classical fingerprints,' nan lawyer added.

'María's fingerprints weren't accordant pinch quality prints.'

Like astir of nan good complete half-a-dozen 'alien' mummy specimens brought to ray by Jaime Maussan successful nan past year, María was discovered caked in diatomaceous earth: white, powdery aquatic fossils near down by a type of plankton known arsenic diatoms.

'Much of her assemblage is covered successful diatomaceous earth,' McDowell explained, 'however, connected nan fingers that were exposed, nan epidermal ridges I saw appeared to beryllium successful mostly consecutive lines.'

McDowell and nan 3 US aesculapian examiners who journeyed pinch him to Peru to analyse nan bodies past April person emphasized that it would beryllium 'extremely premature' to make immoderate definitive statements astir these mysterious mummies.

McDowell told DailyMail.com that location whitethorn yet beryllium a terrestrial mentation for nan unusually consecutive 'friction ridge' tegument patterns connected María's fingers and toes.

'It could perchance person thing to do pinch nan measurement her tegument was preserved,' he advised. 'It's very odd.'

McDowell, antecedently a lawman territory lawyer for Colorado's Fourth Judicial District Attorney's Office, brought a metropolis coroner from Denver arsenic good arsenic a forensic anthropologist from Maryland's State Medical Examiner to Peru to inspect María.

The 3rd expert, McDowell's begetter Dr John McDowell, is simply a forensic odonatologist and retired professor astatine nan University of Colorado — who erstwhile worked to place victims of nan 9/11 violent attacks connected nan World Trade Center via their dental records.

Joshua McDowell emphasized to DailyMail.com that 'no determination has been made astir what nan quality of nan specimens is astatine this date,' adding that his teams' effort to place nan existent quality of these 'alien' mummies is very overmuch still active. 

'I've been to Mexico a mates times, spent a week successful Peru,' nan lawyer said. 'Two to 3 hours a day, I'm dealing pinch thing connected this.'

María is 1 respective specimens that person been dubbed 'the Nazca mummies,' aft nan state successful southwestern Peru wherever these bodies were allegedly unearthed.

Most of these specimens person gained fame and infamy, successful part, owed to their  whose elongated heads and three-fingered hands which lucifer decades of anecdotal accounts and UFO lore astir extraterrestrial 'grey' beings.

But critics of Maussan, including Latin American historiographer Christopher Heaney, that multiply regions of Latin America, including Peru, has a rich | contented of head-binding and head-shaping practices performed connected infants' processing skulls.

'The Spanish, erstwhile they arrived successful nan 16th Century observed and commented connected individuals stepping astir pinch very specifically shaped skulls,' arsenic Heaney told DailyMail.com, 'and they recognized and saw them doing it utilizing these bandages.'

This circumstantial 'alien' mummy, María, first debuted astatine a November 6, 2019 property arena held astatine Peru's San Luis Gonzaga National University of Ica (UNICA) alongside 3 different Nazca 'tridactyls' (three-fingered bodies): 'Wawita,' 'Albert' and 'Victoria.'

Maussan, who was a statement to McDowells' travel to UNICA to inspect nan mummies, unveiled a caller 'alien' specimen named Montserrat during that April trip.

The erstwhile month, Maussan published a study connected nan Nazca 'tridactyls' DNA that he described arsenic having been performed by 'the apical master successful Molecular Biology and Genetics of Peru.'

Ten scientists pinch UNICA, according to Maussan's statement that March, concluded 'their DNA [i.e. nan Nazca mummies' DNA] contains 29 percent that does not beryllium to nan evolutionary concatenation of nan Earth.'

McDowell's US squad of forensic aesculapian examiners were much circumspect successful their study aft their travel to UNICA nan pursuing month.

'We would want actual, very definitive DNA studies done astatine precocious complexity laboratories,' nan US squad said astatine their mid-April property conference. 

'The c making love needs to beryllium repeated pinch much blase methods. Those are things that we're looking for,' they added. 'Our preliminary investigation really conscionable led to nan truth that much investigation is needed.'
