Investigative researcher Steve Mera takes you on a thrilling journey into the mysterious world of the alleged Alien Mummies of Peru! Join him as he unveils shocking details from the physical examinations of these extraordinary finds, along with the intense analysis Barry Fitzgerald and he faced during their adventures in Peru. Don't miss this exclusive final revelation about the dark activities surrounding these incredible discoveries!

This is a rather discursive and vague account of this person's work on the mummies, first examining them while they were in the hands of haqueros in a mock laboratory 'the Incari Institute' (to make the photos look convincing?) in a rundown warehouse where these were being kept. This expedition by the team from the "Phenomenon Project" was carried out in July 2017 (participants Steve Mera and Barry Fitzgerald). They were granted access to take DNA and carbon-14 samples from several specimens, including the large mummy known as Maria. These produced results that were difficult to interpret, and so a second trip was mounted in 2018, to gather more data and confirm initial findings. It was clear at first sight that some of the mummies (especially the mini-mummies the size of a Barbie-doll) were fakes. They had some doubts about the body known as "Maria". This was clearly an adult corpse (the C14 date was "between 245 AD and 410 AD") that had been dugup and Mera and Fitzgerald determined had been manipulated to make it into a three-fingered individual. Any cut marks and so on were covered up with a liberal coating of a plaster made of diatomaceous earth (which can be obtained in many areas of Peru). One important feature:

" in Maria's long finger which is longer than a human finger and only three of them of course is that a sample taken from here and asample taken from here identified that these these two bones were from two different sources in fact human bones but two different humans so the contaminant cross them was a mix of multiple DNA from two or three even individuals uh and that caused a massive massive problem um when that was discovered realized very quickly what was going on here that Maria had been completely manipulated"

There was also another corpse, a baby called by the finders "Wawita". This too had been manipulated and the fingers removed to make it into a "tridactile".

Mera and Fitzgerald also discovered that other bodies had been made of a pastiche of human bones from a variety of burials (including child bones).

There were two taxidermists involved we found them and we knew where they were they were, in Palpa working on them. In fact they were working on another male, another Maria in fact, this time a male and they were all already almost ready to release another one. We found out because we had guys on the ground working with us and they had done some fantastic work for us. But we wanted to try and find out what the hell is going on here and it's a really dark and sinister story because Maria was on for sale on the black market for a million dollars, the small fake doll ones which are maybe about 12, 20, 24 to 36 inches long there are several of them in various positions which had been messed with um and they were just generally creations, they were never any real, even then were like up from $30,000 to $50,000 you know, it was just crazy and it was about all about money, scam money making.

Mera argues that all of these mummies are deliberate fabrications rather than authentic ancient or non-human remains. Despite sustained harassment, threats, and public attacks, he continued to publish findings through articles and two documentaries, with the stated aim of countering what he views as an ongoing deception of the public (and potential buyers of these artefacts).

He claims that the mummies are being illegally manufactured and sold on the black market for substantial sums, with some specimens already trafficked internationally. Renewed media attention (particularly through recent Mexican congressional hearings) has, in his view, revived false claims that the remains are extraterrestrial, thereby increasing demand and incentivising further production.

The investigation is presented as unusually distressing because it involved evidence that real human remains, including those of children, were exhumed and manipulated. According to his account, impoverished locals were allegedly paid by criminal groups to dig up bodies and collect materials. A whistleblower interview is cited as confirming this practice, and the investigator states that he received death threats as a result of his work.

From an anatomical and forensic perspective, he argues that the specimens are crude composites: bodies assembled from human and animal bones (including dogs, llamas, and fish), sometimes with bones incorrectly oriented, lacking functional joints, and incapable of biological movement. Skin, hair, and nails are said to have been taken from animals or corpses and applied to create a lifelike appearance. Claims involving eggs, reptilian features, or locomotion are dismissed as demonstrably inconsistent with X-ray imaging and basic anatomical principles.

Laboratory analyses, conducted with documented chains of custody, reportedly revealed mixed DNA within individual specimens, which the investigator interprets as conclusive evidence of fabrication. Independent assessments by professors of anthropology from multiple universities (including institutions in Paris, Moscow, Lima, and Sri Lanka) are cited as having reached the same conclusion: the remains are not authentic biological organisms.

He states that he has now ended his involvement, having released what he considers a final, conclusive documentary. He argues that media sensationalism, financial incentives, and the willingness of audiences to believe extraordinary claims ensure the controversy will continue regardless of the evidence presented. His central position is that the “Nazca mummies” phenomenon is driven by profit and publicity rather than credible science, and that none of the examined specimens represent genuine ancient or non-human beings.
