Researchers are striving to unravel the mystery surrounding the three-fingered limbs and the metallic implant found within one of them.
Physicians successfully retrieved what is thought to be an implant from the mummy’s arm.
However, its composition utterly baffled the investigators.
As stated by Dr. José Zalce Benítez, an implant of this nature would have necessitated advanced expertise and technology for its fabrication.
This object, resembling silvery scales, turned out to be an intricate alloy comprised of aluminum, tin, silver, copper, cadmium, and osmium.
Some researchers lean toward the hypothesis of extraterrestrial origins, citing the non-human anatomy.
Nevertheless, this discovery also faces opposition.
Peru’s Ministry of Culture had previously cast doubt upon its authenticity.
Forensic archaeologist Flavio Estrada asserted that the so-called mummies are fabrications—dolls constructed using animal bones.
