Summary

While Egypt is the first civilization that comes to mind when the topic of mummification is mentioned, they were far from the only culture to observe elaborate burial rites and practice the art of ritual mummification. Along the coastal regions of Southern Peru and Chile in South America archaeologists have been uncovering mummies which predate those of ancient Egypt by nearly 2000 years. Unfortunately, many of these sites fall prey to tomb robbers and bandits who raid these important cultural sites for anything of value. In 2015 a group of these individuals claimed to have stumbled onto something much more valuable than relics or jewelry. Numerous news websites covered the story of reports that one of these less than legal expeditions had retrieved a collection of mummies that appeared human at first glance but featured a number of strange deformities. 3 fingered digits and elongated skulls appeared to mark them as something not of this world. This case file, join the Theorists as they do a bit bone wrangling in…Alien Mummies
