oh yeah... like that's was worth waiting for?I think it's unfortunate to see so many members here engaging in knee-jerk reactions to this artefact discovered in Peru just because Mausson is interested in it. It is possible that the artefact could, after thorough testing and examination by various kinds of scientific specialists, turn out to be a naturally 'mummified' member of one primate species or another associated with the evolution of our own species. How could that possibility be less than interesting, and developments concerning the artefact's nature and origin be more worth waiting for?

I respect that you are willing to give Jaime another chance, that is up to you. The reason I will not is because I am aware of the threat that our shared history is under.
I suspect that this latest mummy has some genuine parts, but that those parts were 'looted'. Rather than go round in circles trying to explain why I feel so strongly, I request that you watch the first ten minutes of the video below:
We'll find out when we find out, if we find out. As of now, nobody knows, including you.
That's just it, Constance, I and many others do know what we're talking about here. We do know this is yet another disappointment or outright lie. You are wasting your faith on this. How many times must you keep giving the same person chance after chance after chance when that person is repeatedly shown to be wrong and probably making stuff up? Your diligent support is not going to magically make it true this time.
I merely suggest you do some serious thinking on this Nazca Mummy issue.
It's not about Mausson; it's about what it's possible to learn from discoveries of anomalous artefacts from the deep past. So far it's not proved that we are dealing in this case with a hoax, though that is still possible. Why get exercised about that possibility? In the meantime, I'm not wasting any 'faith', energy, or emotion on this case. I'm merely suggesting that we 'wait and see' what comes out of thorough multidisciplinary scientific research concerning the nature of this object found in a cave in Peru and reportedly now carbon-dated to the remote past.
Yes, the part of the thing that is real may have been dated (What is the source on that...?),
not the parts which believers claim makes it 'alien' or 'another species of human'. Those parts -- or the alteration of said real parts -- are what's going to blow the cover off the hoaxers.
Meanwhile, serious researchers get marginalized.
It is a business after all, lol
Thank you for the link, Han. I watched about five minutes of it and would continue except that my computer's sound/audio device is not presently working. I'll return to the video when I have the device reconnected.
I of course understand your disgust with looting of burial sites and archaeological sites in general, your reactions to hoaxing of prehistoric artefacts, and your feelings about the need to preserve the integrity of archaeological evidence discovered in our time. I also think that we know too little about the prehistory of human experience and expression on earth and that we need to find out more about the humanly lived past for many reasons, particularly psychological and philosophical reasons, in order to more fully understand the nature of consciousness and mind as developed in our species and others. In other words, we need to be able to place and comprehend our existential and cultural experience in the context of the ways in which other humans, and human-like others, have experienced and shaped their lived realities. It's an endless inquiry, to be sure, but a necessary one.
