Located between the Andes and the Chilean coast range, the Atacama desert is an environment

unlike any other.

While majority of the area often records less than 1mm of rainfall a year, there are locations

that experience zero recorded rainfall.

While this seemingly arid wasteland is home to many forms of indigenous wildlife who

have adapted to the harsh climate, the desert also holds a wealth of valuable minerals

and metals.

The landscape itself is often to said to be an extremely close resemblance to the blasted

terrains located on the planet Mars.

In 2003, while exploring an abandoned mining town, an amateur collector came across a

startling discovery.

Within an unassuming leather pouch and wrapped inside a piece of simple white cloth were the

remains of what seemed to be a six inch long humanoid.

Once the skeleton was confirmed to be an actual biological organism, scientists and researchers

raced to find an answer to the origins of this tiny bean.

This case filed join the theorist as they find a tiny bone to bake with the Atacama alien.

And Amanda.

And we're all deaf.

Yeah.
