Time to Scientifically Study Full Throttle the Three-Finger Peruvian Bodies!

Time to Scientifically Study Full Throttle the Three-Finger Peruvian Bodies!

By Giorgio Piacenza

 

Introduction

In a recent presentation from early 2024, scientists from Peru’s Ministry of Culture that had not analyzed the best tridactyl specimens whose ligaments and bones seem intact and fit together well-presented misleading results to the world. They had examined crafted dolls (as the craftsman himself had told them repeatedly). But these dolls were used to dismiss the entire case that includes a variety of better specimens. Moreover, the Ministry's methods and equipment were insufficient and inadequate.  

However, regardless of a lack of funds, careful, dedicated research is being performed somewhere else while receiving little publicity or the consideration from most mainstream scientists or established institutions. 

Several scientists, including renowned forensic doctors and able geneticists have studied the best samples up and close and found them to be anomalous and worthy of further scientific scrutiny. 

Certainly, honest scientists should not look away and dismiss all the work already done since 2017. This word conducted by several physicians and scientists risking their reputations in the name of truth as real scientists should sometime do. However, scientists from the Ministry of Culture have been reluctant to converse with these colleagues who have studied the best samples directly under independent efforts or were assisted by donations. It is a Ministry of Culture that doesn't even have a carbon-14 dating lab! And their partial and superficial analysis has been found wanting.

But there is another sheer number of other serious scientists and physicians who have studied some of the best specimens or samples (mostly in a personal, individual bais) is much larger than the few scientists from the Ministry of Culture who refuse to study the best samples. We are talking about 40-50 other scientists and medical doctors (including radiologists, surgeons, forensic anthropologists, biologists, geneticists) from Peru and other countries finding out that the best “tridactyl mummies” (or, rather dessicated bodies) do not show signs of tampering or of being fabricated. In this brief report, I have simply listed some of them.

Scientific honesty demands from the international scientific community greater respect for this accumulated (and still growing) body of evidence on the “tridactyls”, no matter how "weird" the case might be. Physical evidence is physical evidence. Honesty demands at least contacting these scientists or the main currently involved researchers, to re-analyze and re-consider the evidence more carefully rather than looking away and joining the dismissing crowd. 

Moreover, access to the evidence is still – for the most part – available; new evidence is bound to appear (perhaps even with different types of specimens, hybrids, or bodies) and it leaves much to be desired when invitations to study these samples have been repeatedly extended to the international scientific community, for instance by the valiant team of the university in Peru holding four of the best specimens: Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga (a.k.a. UNICA). 

The serious possibility of finding remnants of genetically engineered bodies or entities not clearly related to Earth’s evolutionary tree is growing. There also are new human-size, more human-looking bodies held outside the mentioned university. 

How many more tests should be necessary? It is a matter of opinion. In terms of genetic tests, quite likely, a few dozen more complete sequencings and analysis could be useful to obtain a statistical-level  "proof" that the specimens do not correspond to any known family of species in Earth's natural evolution or taxonomic biological tree. 

But this needs to be investigated and scientists need to invest time and funds and talk to each other! Also, more Peruvian and international scientists need to work together. 

If truly anomalous, who created these bodies between 750 and 1800 years ago according to Carbon 14 dating done in several reputable labs? Who could be able to cut and paste mummified-dried soft tissue teguments and bones making them to functionally fit together without leaving traces visible on a CT scan?  One astounding possibility is that scientifically advanced non-human activity operating in ancient Peru may have produced this situation. Of the 6-7 alleged varieties of tridactyls, one or two of the human-looking ones also approximates the looks of a grey alien but (most likely), as of the rest the rest, we may be dealing with genetically engineered bodies.

Since 2016, the mainstream scientific community and press have looked away or arrogantly dismissed it oftentime, not knowing what they say. Instead of recognizing diatomaceous earth over the tridactyls skin "experts" and influencers mentioned chalk or plaster. False mummies (in fact, assembled dools) were thrown in the mix along with genuine ones and that was sufficient to summarily dismiss them all.  

For the public, dogmatic opinions by "experts" that have not personally conducted careful tests have prevailed over objectively studying the evidence.  And mainstream media has gone along with publicizing this anti scientific stance. Sometimes, simplistic emotional dismissals based on associations of this research with some UFO-interested alternative reporters were enough. Even, much of the English-speaking and pro-Disclosure, UFO communities simply dismissed it all away without making an effort to look at the evidence neutrally and carefully. None of this has to continue.

The forensic doctros and scientists I've known have shown their honesty by trying not to jump to conclusions (for example pronouncing them "extraterrestrials") too early; by simply conducting objective tests often at their own expense; by facing criticisms and attempts to have the best specimens irregularly confiscated, and by repeatedly inviting local and foreign scientists to get involved and help them.  

Amazingly, within the UFO "community" people have always said how nice it would be to have physical evidence either of non-human craft or or alien bodies. The case for these mummies being genetic hybrids, unknown biological families, or even ET seems genuine. But most everyone in this community also dismissed them for many years until enough English-speaking reporters and a few recognized scientists were courageous enough to follow what was right. is it because the English-speaking world must have a monopoly on science and any important new discoveries?

So, let’s be brave and do the right thing! The scientists studying the case have repeatedly said that if the bodies are fake they will recognize it. So, let's simply conduct the research!  It might be the most important verification of an ancient alien intervention that we have been waiting for! 

 Partial List of Scientists and/or Physicians That Have Studied Different Aspects of the Tridactyls

Feb 2017 In Cusco, convened by the Instituto Inkari, surgeon Edson Salazar Vivanco was the first doctor to analyze tridactyl specimens.  Dr. Raymundo Salas Alfaro took X-ray plates and finds no artificial assembly or modifications. Surgeons Dr. Ramiro Hermoza Rosell and Dr. Renan Ramirez Vargas collaborated. Also, surgeon and Internal Medicine, Dr. Julio Torres Espejo, bone specialist and head of the "Social Security" in Cusco, and Dr. David Hermosa Góngora.

April 2017, Mexican forensic doctor Dr. José Jesús Zalce Benítez (head of the Department of Legal and Forensic Medicine, Secretary of the Navy, Mexican Navy), Mexican biologist José de la Cruz Ríos Lopez and Russian professor of medicine Dr. Konstantin G. Korotkov arrived in Cusco with journalist Jaime Maussan and a Gaia TV team to examine the tridactyl bodies together with the Inkari Institute. They found many anomalous characteristics, structural harmony, functionality, and no signs of tampering. Some of their reports are available at   https://www.the-alien-project.com/en/ and

August 7, 2018. High-definition CT Scans were performed on the tridactyl specimens Maria, Josefina, and Wawita.

I wrote several essays. One of them is available at https://exonews.org/nazca-humanoid-mummies-high-resolution-tomography-reveals-truths/

May, 2017. Radiologist Mary K. Jesse of the University of Colorado Hospital saw the X-rays, and tomographies and detects no evidence of assembly or trickery but comments that the skeleton seen in tomography of the specimen Maria is anomalous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZPDhPeQnRY

In 2018Dr Lilian Cristofol, a French materials science/characterization engineer also contributed a report on previous analyses performed at the Peruvian metallurgic and mines institute INGEMMET using energy dispersive spectroscopy on metal parts associated with tridactyl specimens.

Russian scientist, Dr. Natalia Zalosnaja, MD PhD, director of image analysis at the MIBS Medical Institute found the images worthy of study.

Biophysicist, geneticist, and expert in applied genetic recombination technology Dr. William Brown, PhD stated that part of the original genes do not match human genes and do not appear to match those of any terrestrial species.

Russian Molecular Geneticist Oleg Sergeevich Gotov, PhD, from the Department of Molecular Genetics of St. Petersburg University with his bioinformatician colleague Alexei analyzed the results obtained with two sequencers. They found the original "ancestral DNA" genes that when compared with human gene bank had unknown alternative variants as per the standard human genome. Neither 25% of the “Maria” genes nor 23% of the “Wawita” genes compared with a human population analysis matched those of a modern human population. 

Doug Taylor, PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology and professor of biotechnology at Harrisburg University stated that the tridactyl finding is extremely interesting and that it really needs to be investigated. Moreover, different groups of scientists with different genetic research techniques could join forces.

July 2018. Mexican bioinformatician and geneticist Salvador Angel Romero Martinez presented an analysis of genetic studies before the Congress of Peru and found that the results were anomalous.  Likewise, Colombian-Swiss biologist and geneticist, Dr. Clara Inés Martínez explained before Congress why the tridactyl DNA was anomalous. The presentation mostly fell on deaf ears. 

On August 1, 2019, the Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga (UNICA) with the anthropologist Dr. Roger Zúñiga and the vice-rector of research and development Martin Alarcón Quispe considered it scientifically valid to receive 4 dried tridactyl bodies at the university for the purpose of custody, preservation and research.

September 25, 2019. Peru's Public Ministry determines that, since no archaeological site can be associated with the alleged desiccated bodies, there are no objective elements of evidence that could determine the commission of a material crime in accordance to article 334.1 of the Penal Processing Code.

March, 2020. The Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga (a.k.a. UNICA, a.k.a. Universidad de Ica) gets high-resolution tomographies (128 cuts) made in Lima, Peru from the tridactyl mummies Maria, Alberto, and Luisa. 

The Russian maxillofacial surgeon and expert in tomography from the University of St. Petersburg, Dr. Galestskiy Dmitriy Vladilàvovich, studied in detail the tomographies of small tridactyl specimens and declared them authentic, with forms of swallowing for liquid feeding different from what is known and with the central nervous system passing through the external part of the spinal column. He noticed that the vertebrae of the neck would allow the neck to be retractile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAnjDRXKteY&t=2s   

2020-2023 Dr. X.  a notable geneticist and bioinformatician from a prestigious university in Arizona (who prefers anonymity) considered the best tridactyl specimens as worthy of in-depth genetic studies and suggested full NGS sequencing. This was done with the help of Mr. MA and the data from 4 samples were uploaded to the NHIB genetic (or genomic) library of the National Institutes of Health.  Any qualified scientist can access this data for study, which demonstrates the sincerity with which the studies are being conducted. 

October 5, 2022. The renowned Peruvian traumatologist, orthopedist, and hand surgeon, Dr. Juan Mirko Tello, traumatologist, orthopedist, hand surgeon, with 25 years of experience, traveled to the Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga and examined the hands and feet of the large tridactyl specimen "Maria" and a small 60 cm tridactyl and found no evidence of alterations or manipulation or artificial assembly.  I accompanied him along with investigative reporter Jois Mantilla.

Dr. David Ruiz, forensic doctor and surgeon, member of the New York Academy of Sciences closely examined the bones and ligaments of some of the tridactyl bodies and found no artificial assembly or trickery. 

After looking at some genetic samples, Dr. Antígona Segura, astrophysicist and exobiologist of the UNAM in an interview from Sweden commented in favor of the non-terrestrial hypothesis genetic origin of some of the tridactyl bodies. She also criticized the lack of rigorousness on the part of her colleagues at UNAM regarding this subject.

September 22, 2023. Dr. David Spergel, astrophysicist, president of the Simmons Foundation, and director of UAP investigations (UFOs) of NASA sent a letter to Mr. Jesús Tlaxclateco of the Maussan TV investigations team. In it, he shows interest in the study of the two Peruvian tridactyl bodies found in Mexico and mentions the possibility of sending a team of scientists to Mexico.

December, 2021.  Magister Atilio Mendoza, head of spectrometry at Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria/ National Engineering University (UNI) in Lima, Peru analyzed samples from inside an alleged implant in the tridactyl mummy named "Luisa" and found Osmium and Cadmium Chloride.   Magister Atilio Mendozaengineer Pedro Toribio Pando, metallurgical engineer Manuel Cruz, and other academics and scientists from the Faculty of Geological, Mining, and Metallurgical Engineering and the Faculty of Sciences, Chemistry, and Physics of the National Engineering University of Peru analyzed this and other samples (of tissue and the alleged eggs) and submitted a report to the San Luis Gonzaga National University.  The report supports the hypothesis that the specimens studied are biological and anomalous and possibly with implants that would require very advanced technology.

Engineer Santiago Valverde, dean of the National University of Engineering of Peru (UNI) supports the metallurgical study of the alleged implants in the tridactyles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeGrexz3KXQ  

German independent researcher Sabine Cremer presented a paper to Peru’s Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria (National University of Engineering or UNI) professors showing that the tridactyl anatomy was anomalous. 

Geneticist and molecular biologist Ricardo Rangel Martinez of Abraxas Biosystems used the new genetic study tool "RAS" and determined that the original tridactyl "Victoria" genes found by Cen4Gen Labs cannot be classified within any known taxonomic branch of the terrestrial species tree. The "RAS" tool automatically compares the genetic sample with the metadata in the NCBI genomic library. Apparently, after discounting contamination and degraded genes, he found a human haplogroup related to the Han Chinese ethnic group and also genes from Bonobo and Chimpancee primates.  

Two scientists anonymously studied sample 003 (bone from a hand of the specimen "Maria") that is in the NHBI genomic library of the NHI. They posted it anonymously on Reddit. A geneticist friend from a major university who wants to remain anonymous told me that the study looks serious. But it wouldn't be sufficiently in-depth.  The also study mentions mitochondrial DNA from a non-indigenous haplogroup in Peru.

September 18, 2023-11-07, in Mexico City, the LIVE analysis of the dried mummy "Clara" was conducted before the notary Carlos Meza, Notary 35, Mexico City. Guillermo, radiology technician, collaborated with a high-fidelity 64-slice Toshiba killer tomograph.

Dr. Ruben Garcia Linaje, orthopedic surgeon, evaluated the bony parts and extremities.  He found no evidence of trickery or artificial assembly. Also, the radiologist Dr. Armando Gonzales Ballesteros, interpreted the CT images and found no evidence of artificial assembly or trickery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eief8UMIwZI

On November 1st, 2023Dr. Jorge Eduardo Moreno Legua, professor of the Faculty of Human Medicine at UNICA while he was rector of the San Luis Gonzaga National University shared during a public hearing in the Mexican House of Representatives a letter signed by 11 (eleven) professors of that university who pronounced themselves on the biological authenticity of the dried tridactyl bodies found between Palpa and Nasca, saying that they are biological bodies of unknown origin, showing no signs of having been manipulated or weaponized and stressing the importance of studying them.

Official Letter: The 11 physicians, professors, and scientists associated to the Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga (UNICA) are: Dr. Roger Zúñiga Avilés (anthropologist), Dr. Daniel Mendoza Vizarreta (medical radiologist), Dr. Eric Huerta Talavera (medical hematologist), Dr. Clarense Campos Buleje (medical nephrologist), Dr. Edgar Martin Hernández Huaripaucar (bucomaxillofacial radiologist/anatomist), Dr. Jorge E. Moreno Legua (pediatrician), Dr. Irwin Zuñiga Almora (surgeon/dental surgeon), Dr. David Ruiz Vela (legist/plastic surgeon), Dr. Urbano R. Cruz Condori (metallurgical engineer), Dr. Pedro Cordova Mendoza (chemical engineer), Dr. Jorge Moreno Gálvez (radiologist). It was presented at the Mexican Congress. All of it ignore for the most part by mainstream media. Why? LINK: https://www.the-alien-project.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/carta-UNICA-ES.pdf

November 1st, 2023. Dr. Annushka Malpartida Cavieses, expert in forensic medicine for the Judicial Power, expert in orthodontics and maxillary orthopedics, and professor of the University of Cusco, declared before the Congress of Mexico that, using a sagittal cut, it is seen that the bone of the skull of "Maria" is much thicker than that of the normal human being and that due to its regularity, it could be a skull of natural conformation. The size of the ocular orbits would also be anomalous, 54 mm versus the standard 35 mm (40% more than the classic standard) and due to their regularity, there would be no place for them to have been made by some kind of modification.  

The shape and wear of the teeth suggest that he used them as a tool. The scarring suggests he had a dentist. The protrusion of the lower part of the skull suggests that Maria's bone conformation had intermediate characteristics (neither feminine nor masculine) or a rather robust morphology. Dr. Malpartida Cavieses said that there are no indications that the toes have been mutilated because there is no loss that would correspond to the scaphoid and cuboid bones. In addition, the bones fit well with each other.

Dr. Celestino Adolfo Piotti, is a forensic anthropologist, physician, archaeologist, surgeon, and renowned discoverer of several ancient species. He resorted to mathematical analysis of proportions based on skull radiographs. The measurements added one more step to the evolutionary scale of man. They are not individuals of the past or of the present but “of the future” or that should have existed in the future. Maria would be the last link of our human species evolving into a new species. And the lower specimens would be of an evolving species that would come after us. In short, they would be our descendants.  They would come to have a body useless for living in this world, but they would develop a brain in much larger proportion than us. Dr. Piotti used a projection of the Klast Polygon and noted that the lack of development of the frontal lobe is replaced by the widening of the head to the sides. The more developed cerebellum allows them to maintain balance since they cannot walk with those three fingers. These bodies need to be investigated.

September 4, 2022Dr. Hermes Avila Pelayo, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, performed a fluoroscopic study in a hospital in Tijuana, Mexico.  On the specimen "Clara" and the specimen of a large loose hand. He found it to be a relatively well-preserved specimen. The collateral ligaments are seen.  The arm bones form a continuity. An overall unity is seen in the specimen. He found that structurally and biomechanically it looks functional. Also, soft tissues and, ligaments were seen. The study was done to see the integrity of the tissues and structurally and I don't see anything that looks assembled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyIdRiznz5w

Dr. Katsuyuki Uchino examined CT scans of the possible eggs inside the mummy “Edgarda.”  Possible internal biological structures were hypothesized. 

Tridactyl samples in the National Institutes of Health National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) genetic library: 

The links to the "Ancient 0001, 0002, 0003, and 0004" NGS sequences of the 160 cm tall human-looking tridactyl "Maria" specimen and the "Victoria" 60cm tall specimen uploaded to the NCBI international gene library are as follows. They need to be studied and more samples of the same and different specimens need to be taken to compare and get more statistical clarity regarding unique anomalies. Any adequate information processing geneticist or molecular biologist scientist can do it and this shows scientific honesty!  Of course, more complete sequences need to be done (3 per body preferably). All that is needed is scientific will and funds. And to protect the specimens.

Spanish Archaeologist Daniel Merino Panizo has been cataloging the mummified organs of tridactyl specimens allegedly found in a sarcophagus. For example, there is a mummified brain. Dr. Merino Panizo has been working with Inkari Institute in Cuzco. 

March 12, 2024. Head, neck, and maxillo-facial surgeon Dr. Ricardo Anicama Pardo (President of the together with Dr. David Ruiz Vela observed two newly found humanoid-looking tridactyls in a tomographic laboratory in Lima, Peru. They found them unique or anomalous.

In APRIL, 2024 three highly experienced forensic scientists from the U.S. came to take an initial view of some of the mummies.  Dr. John McDowell (a highly recognized Forensic Odontologist, who received the Gradwohl Award), Dr. James Caruso (Forensic Pathologist for the City of Denver), and Dr. William Rodriguez (forensic anthropologist who worked for the Dept. of Defense).  All coincided that some of the specimens (especially the large ones) deserve further study. 

The small 60cm long specimens were of no interest or were not observed as carefully. There was a question about one of the hand bones that seemed to have been in a reverse position but Dr. Zuñiga (Director of research from the University San Luis Gonzaga) commented that if they were from a non humanoid unknown species the bones may differ.  However (especially regarding the larger, more human-looking mummies, the forensic scientists requested the Government of Peru to allow scientists to take samples and/ or borrow some of the bodies in order to study them abroad. An open letter (to be published in the Diario El Comercio) was written to the Ministry of Culture but, at the last moment, this mainstream newspaper didn't publish it.  

However, there have been two publications in a quality Indexed Journal:

"MORPHOMETRIC TOMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE HEAD OF THE TRIDACTYL HUMANOID SPECIMEN FROM NASCA-PERU"  Biometric Morpho-Anatomical Characterization and Dating of The Antiquity of A Tridactyl Humanoid Specimen: Regarding The Case of Nasca-Peru | Revista de Gestão - RGSA

"BIOMETRIC MORPHO-ANATOMICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND DATING OF THE ANTIQUITY OF A TRIDACTYL HUMANOID SPECIMEN" (Revista de Gestão Social e Ambiental).  https://rgsa.openaccesspublications.org/rgsa/article/view/6916 

In a July 1st, 2025 group Zoom conversation that my ICER colleagues and I had with immunologist, geneticist, and biotechnologist inventor Dr Garry Nolan from Stanford University, he recommended to me the following line of research:

He suggested the following for genetic research: 1) To look for metabolism genes. 2) Do PCR of those metabolism genes. 3) Compare the mutational changes in those metabolism genes against humans, reptiles, and five other main categories. "It's simple. They don't need the whole genome. They're still trying to do whole genome sequencing, but they don't need to. What they need is localized amplification of the genome, and they need to do it multiple times so it doesn't have anything to do with PCR mutational introduction. And then align them and show that there are mutations."

But, for the above, a good sterile lab and procedures would be necessary. The known human-like and small reptilian humanoid - like specimens are in Peru, except for two of the latter in Mexico.  Who is going to help with these procedure? 

* Therefore, given the unique observations and findings of all these scientists and physicians accumulates and should be respected, the tridactyl mummies truly deserve further careful scientific studies. After all, they may constitute hybrid organisms created many centuries ago in the Nazca-Palpa region of Peru and, if so, could be one of the most important discoveries ever and could represent a unique form of verification of an advanced non human presence conducting genetic experiments on Earth a long to me ago.  The Peruvian Government should facilitate further quality research. As far as I know, the small, 60cm allegedly reptilian-like, biped tridactyls that often show what seem to be eggs in their bellies can still be legally tested and analyzed.

Brief Chronology and Findings on the 3-Finger Palpa-Nazca Mummies of Peru

Brief Chronology and Findings on the 3-Finger Palpa-Nazca Mummies of Peru By Giorgio Piacenza Chronology ·          End of 2015. Leandro Benedicto Rivera Sarmiento (a.k.a. Mario Peruano) allegedly found a cave with several specimens between the districts of Palpa and Nazca (perhaps 20+) in the Peruvian desert.  Some might be ancient artificially fabricated offerings and some original biological individuals. The finding allegedly includes complete bodies, separate body parts and artifacts such as carved stones and metal adornments.   ·          October – December 2016. Some small less credible specimens were shown to Mr. Dante Rios Tambini by Paul Ronceros (a.k.a. Krawix). Mr. Rios Tambini told me about it and also went to Instituto Incari in Cuzco. He told me that Paul Ronceros and Leandro Benedicto Rivera were looking for open-minded, serious and caring scientists willing and capable...
