A mummified elongated skull found in Peru could finally prove the existence of aliens, the Daily Mail newspaper reported Saturday.
The strangely shaped head, almost as big as its 50cm body, has baffled anthropologists, the report said.

It was one of two sets of remains found in the city of Andahuaylillas in the southern province of Quispicanchi, Peru.

The skeletal sets were discovered by Renato Davila Riquelme, who works for the Privado Ritos Andinos museum in Cusco in south-eastern Peru.

He said that that the eye cavities are far larger than normally seen in humans, according to the newspaper.

The archeologist said three anthropologists, from Spain and Russia, arrived at the museum last week to investigate the findings and agreed it was “not a human being” and would conduct further studies.

The remains of an eyeball in the right socket will help determine its genetic DNA and clear up the controversy if it is human or not, the Daily Mail said.

The remains bear a striking resemblance to the triangular crystal skull in the 2008 Indiana Jones film Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which turned out to be of alien origin and have supernatural powers, it said.

페루서 거대 해골 발견, 외계인?
페루에서 거대한 해골이 발견돼 ‘외계인’의 것이 아니냐는 추측까지 나오고 있다고 국내외 언론 매체가 전했다. 19일 영국 일간 데일리메일에 따르면 페루 남부 안다우아이리아스시에서 최근 발견된 두 구의 유골 가운데 둘레 길이가 50㎝에 이르는 두개골이 인류학자들에게 충격을 주고 있다는 것. 이 유골을 발견한 페루 남동부 쿠스코 지역 고고학 박물관의 레나토 다빌라 리퀼미 박사는 “발굴된 유골은 해골의 크기뿐 아니라, 두 안구의 크기도 일반 사람보다 훨씬 컸으며, 안구 사이의 거리도 멀리 떨어져 있다”고 말했다고 보도는 전했다. 리퀼미 박사는 “스페인과 러시아의 인류학자들과 함께 이 유골의 표면을 조사하고 ‘인간의 것이 아니다’라는 결론을 내렸다”며 “오른쪽 안구 부분에서 DNA를 추출했으며, 이를 토대로 유골이 확실히 인간의 것인지 아닌지 추가 판단을 내릴 것”이라고 말했다고 보도는 덧붙였다.
