My Thoughts on the Tridactyl Nazca Mummies
1. I'm not involved with the research, nor am I affiliated with any of the investigative teams. I'm not a subject matter expert (plenty of those involved).
2. I saw the media reports in 2017 and 2023 about these. Everyone asked my opinion and I figured they were either conventionally explainable or it was too convoluted to really know.
3. Recently I had the opportunity to tag along with a film crew who were doing a story on these. Can't say no to good mystery.
4. I went to Mexico and then Peru for a few days. I saw the specimens first hand, and got to visit with some of the doctors involved in their analysis.
5. The preliminary CT and DNA results as well as the physicians involved made me think there's something to it. Some of these seem to be real anomalies. Studying anomalies is important because while often they are false alarms, they occasionally lead to important breakthroughs.
6. The Nazca mummies is a complicated story stretching back years, and I don't know all the details or the people involved. Long-form investigative journalism would be good here.
7. My conclusion is that we need more independent, third-party universities or institutes skilled in forensic methods to investigate and share their findings, whatever they may be. I shared a few words at the end of the press conference today calling for that. Hope it happens.
8. That's the extent of my involvement. If you have specific questions you should contact one of the research teams.
