Something historic is happening in Nazca, Peru. In early 2017 several “unusual” bodies and parts of bodies were examined after being given to the Inkari Institute in Cusco, Peru in late 2016. The location of the find as well as the name of the discoverer have been kept secret to prevent grave-robbing.
All of the bodies are hominid but have only three fingers and three toes. The bodies have all been preserved for perhaps thousands of years and have not had any internal organs removed. Some of the bodies are believed to be reptilian and one has four eggs that show in x-rays. Maria has been carbon dated to have died about 1700 years ago and “Wawica”, a baby found near Maria has been dated to 670 years ago. The genetic studies indicate that both Maria and Wawica have only about 25% human-like DNA. Both bodies may have ended in a violent death by predator animals.
The lecture will discuss the controversy about the authenticity of these bodies and will present data for the audience to evaluate. Are these bodies a fake, a new branch from the tree of evolution, or are they from another planet? Either way, the find is fascinating and historic. (1 session) $10.
