Space seems fundamental. To build a universe, surely you need something to build it on or in. Many, maybe most physicists now think that the fabric of space emerges from something deeper. And perhaps the most existentially disturbing such proposal is that our 3-D universe is just the inward projection of an infinitely distant boundary. A hologram, or sorts. Let’s see how that can actually work, and what the holographic principle really says about the “realness” of this universe.

SHOW ME THE MUMMIES! The 3 Fingered “Alien Mummies” of Peru

I have been in Peru interviewing doctors, journalists, and some of the original investigators that believe the tridactyl mummies are real. This story has so many incredible twists and turns and ended up being a very entertaining drama.

My goal was to present this for everyone to understand a comprehensive story of how the humanoid beings that were presented to the Mexican Congress, came to be and get everyone up to date on the recent drama that has unfolded.

Tomorrow, March 12th, there is a press conference that will be held which the proponents are advertising as a grass roots disclosure which will cause a paradigm shattering moment for humanity.

Whether that remains to be true or not, I do not know…However, I hope this video helps get you caught up to speed on the Nazca Mummies.

What a truly bizarre story. If these are a hoax, it is my opinion that they are one of the greatest hoaxes of all time.

What do you think?

Music – CO.AG – Off World

Many of the photos and videos I used were from the Inkari Institute at http://www.the-alien-project.com

Timestamps

0:00 Opening scene in an ancient petroglyph field near Palpa
1:06 Mummies presented at Mexican Congress
3:54 Heading to Ica to see a presentation on the Mummies
5:07 Interviewing one of the first researchers, Edward Valenzuela.
8:57 Edward gives his top reasons as to why he thinks they are real
12:16 Dr. Irvin Zuniga tells me about the anomalies he found in his surgical analysis of the mummies
12:31 Do the ancient geoglyphs and petroglyphs hold clues?
24:12 Jois Mantilla confront the Ministry of Culture
24:23 The Ministry of Culture denies my request to interview Flavio Estrada
25:52 Jois Mantilla Interview. An open invitation for all scientists to come study the mummies.
27:42 Jaime Maussan reflects on when he first heard about the mummies
31:28 Are some of the mummies heads made from Llama skulls?
33:48 Is it at all possible the man who discovered these has the skills necessary to make them?
37:02 A highly credentialed surgeon from Mexico’s Navy believes that the mummies are authentic.
38:35 The Roswell Slides Fiasco
39:19 American Filmmaker believes the March 12th announcement is going to be Catastrophic Disclosure.
43:01 Jaime Maussan wants Peruvian Anthropologist to eat a Cockroach covered in Mayonnaise.
43:58 If these are a hoax then it is quite possibly the greatest hoax of all time.

It’s not too often that a giant of physics threatens to overturn an idea held to be self-evident by generations of physicists. Well, that may be the fate of the famous Penrose Singularity Theorem if we’re to believe a recent paper by Roy Kerr. Long story short, the terrible singularity at the heart of the black hole may be no more.
