Researchers Uncover Mysterious Implant in Peru’s Three-Fingered Mummy
According to the Daily Mail, the hand of one of Peru’s so-called “alien mummies” was recently dissected, revealing an inexplicable metal plate inside.
The authenticity of these small mummies, often referred to as the “Nazca Three-Fingered,” has been widely debated. They were reportedly found by local tomb raiders in the Nazca region of Peru.
Now, a team of experts who examined the hand claims to have uncovered a “light metal” implant. Photos show one of the researchers carefully using tweezers to remove the implant from the three-fingered hand.

“It’s a highly complex metal alloy, requiring significant knowledge and skill to produce such quality and purity. We identified elements such as aluminum, tin, silver, copper, cadmium, and osmium, among others,” said Dr. Jose Zalce Benitez, a Mexican Navy forensic expert who dissected the hand.
Images also reveal the so-called “palmar” bones within the hand.
“This three-fingered hand, from which we extracted the metal, doesn’t belong to any of the bodies recently presented in Mexico’s Congress. It’s part of a series of individual remains found in the same area in Peru,” Zalce clarified.
The metal implant, found in the hand, resembles a piece of silver foil.
Before dissection, the three-fingered hand was carefully rehydrated to remove the implant.
“We used forensic technology to protect the tissue and minimize damage during the procedure. A special serum, with precise concentration percentages, was used to rehydrate the corpse. This technology, which the FBI employs, helps recover data or extract information during forensic investigations,” Zalce explained.
The researchers also stated that the hand they dissected resembles those found in the specimens presented to the Mexican Congress. These mummies are no more than 60 centimeters tall and are believed to have larger “relatives,” allegedly also found in Peru.
However, critics, including senior Peruvian officials, have dismissed these mummies as fabricated. Flavio Estrada, a forensic archaeologist at Peru’s Institute of Forensic Medicine and Forensic Sciences, has concluded that the smaller mummies were constructed from animal bones and modern synthetic adhesives.
