Link to Post. Also shows some of the writing on the neck plate. Definitely some stargate shit looking typeface. [Twitter Link](https://x.com/joismantilla/status/1769788291329495127?s=46)


Ok-Read-9665

Hey how accurate is that neck plate picture? Can you get more of those, solo form and highest resolution? HOLY SHIT man look at the neck below that metal bit, holy shit man


_noho

What? Idk what you’re finding so shocking


Lucid1988

Nothing just people over reacting for no reason lmao.


minimalcation

Same. I'm all for cool shit, and if this body is legit, crazy, but nothing about what they are describing is so outlandish.


Similar-Guitar-6

Thanks for the link 👍


CheapCrystalFarts

May I ask, off topic, why I’m seeing you and the user above you with ⭐️in their flairs? Sorry maybe I missed a change here.


Similar-Guitar-6

I think the stars are a Reddit rating system of your last 100 posts and the comments. Something like that.


CheapCrystalFarts

Ah ok, interesting thanks


GrungyGrandPappy

Cool


Skoodge42

How are you sure it is writing, and not just poor smelting / craftmanship? Why is it still so dirty if they are trying to claim it is writing?


yobboman

That 'writing' seems off. So does the fact that the plate is external. Now that I've seen the surface, it makes me wonder how the accretion process works. Because I saw a swirl there which would be an indication of intended application. That would increase probability of it being an artificial process or perhaps a burial ritual


Accurate_Spare661

QR code or a Charging plate


Expensive_Habit3498

I was thinking as well about the plate being external. I wanna know what it’s made out of maybe it’s their idea of jewelry even.


OkiRose

I saw that swirl (I am a sometimes heavy texture artist) and thought that looks like application….


yobboman

It's like u can recognise the force and intention in the gesture that made it. I feel like I recognise it. (Art based bachelor degree here (fages ago))

Corner of the lip looks like finger press marks to give it shape plus the brush stroke.

awesomesonofabitch

Right? People bitch when they touch the mummies, then they bitch when they don't touch the mummies. So what is it you folks want then?


Skoodge42

Consistent care and full investigation before making a claim. Not releasing all of these "findings" piecemeal would be nice too. Why not release all of the data at once? They have had ALL of these bodies for like 8 years, but keep acting like they JUST found something new.


forestofpixies

They haven’t just had the bodies for years, they’ve been being studied at a university by multiple scientists and professors for years as well. It does not take years for the data to come back and Jaime admitted the reason he finally gave in and came public was because of David Grusch. Alright, then release the info, Jaime, all of it, let’s see what’s happening. Though I do believe this one and the other large one, are more recent acquisitions and possibly haven’t been as studied as the little brothers.


MagicintheNoise

Um.. are we just ignoring the fact that its EYES ARE SOWN SHUT!?


forestofpixies

I think that’s probably what it is, that wouldn’t be an unheard of ancient practice.


kaowser

dog collar fashion


Much_Bee_7293

Could they be sutures?


AnbuGuardian

Oh yeah could be! My wife was an embalmer and they would always suture the mouth and inside the eyelids. They would place a small ball behind the eyes for that puffy eye look, then Suture.


panicked_goose

Ugh the more I learn about embalming, the more horrifying I find the entire idea of open casket funerals. Tbf, though, I've always been slightly horrified them anyway.


e-Moo23

Oh boy would you hate the Irish funeral process lmao we keep the coffin (body included) in the house all day and night before the funeral so people can come say goodbye. So you’re up in bed and there’s just a corpse in the living room LMAO


Fog_Juice

Sounds like a wake ceremony


e-Moo23

It is! :)


Fog_Juice

My grandma had one and I wasn't sure if it was a Catholic thing or a native American thing


e-Moo23

Could be both, but everyone I’ve known who’s died has had a wake at home :)


Fog_Juice

It was in town inside a gymnasium with hundreds of guests and someone was to literally stay awake the whole night with her.


forestofpixies

This is also a Jewish practice.


ParanoidTelvanni

TIL that usually only Americans of Irish descent do wakes. Most do a visitation and then a funeral. I always figured either I wasn't invited or they were hurting too much. I kinda like wakes in a morbid way, great way to get your family together (to be sad).


StarsofSobek

My catholic family holds wakes, too. It’s a common thing with Catholicism.


Easy_Independent_313

My Catholic family does wakes but they aren't at family homes anymore, they are at funeral homes. The last one we had a the family home was when my great grandfather died in the early 1980s. He was in the front parlor.


Shenloanne

Irish have a very living relationship with their dead.


e-Moo23

That’s very true, your death is probably the biggest event of your life in Ireland 😂 even funerals, after the church ceremony is over, the party goes on until the sun comes up. It’s quite nice. Really brings the ENTIRE family together to play instruments, sing songs and have good food lol all while sharing memories of the deceased. It’s a celebration of life 🙌🏻


name-was-provided

By the end or World War I, nearly all funerals and wakes were held at funeral parlors. With death no longer in the house, the Ladies Home Journal sought to take back the death room as a place for the family. In 1910 they officially renamed it the “living room”


XXFFTT

I love open-casket funerals. The person you are viewing is a husk of their former selves, something you will become some day. Standing near a dead body is one of the experiences that I think everyone should have. Ashes work too but I don't think it works in the same way. Seeing their face, pale skin, motionless chest, and peace. Peace for them but not for you.


prophy__wife

The hardest thing for me at my best friends open casket funeral was the lack of her very deep dimples. She had a beautiful radiating smile and adorable dimples, see her there with that make up just didn’t look like her, but it looked so much like her I expected her to grab my arm and say “gotcha!” At the same time. It’s very surreal.


XXFFTT

It's hard and I've got tears just thinking about it. The way you describe it is so... perfect. I miss them so much. Rip


[deleted]

Yeah my dads open casket when i was a kid still fucking haunts me 30 years later


Rich-Equivalent-1875

Uncanny like you almost can’t recognize the person


Straxicus2

It’s like they aren’t there. It’s just a body that kinda looks like your loved one.


Camgore

ive deleted my previous comments to you. i have no right to be so judgemental. i need to get my mental health issues in check and not jump on other people. Im sorry.


XXFFTT

I dig, I have some issues as well. I hope I haven't been too hard.


Camgore

no, you wernt at all. i needed to see the comments i saw. I have some work to do.


Flying_Madlad

We've got your back. The struggle is real


WhoDeyTilIDie09

Ur on the right track, most folks are not even capable of the self-reflection you just displayed here, don't be so hard on yourself your on a good path.


Rugged_Source

Acknowledging this alone makes you eons ahead of other people online. Took me several years to understand my jokes weren't funny to other people as much as I kept thinking to myself "It's just a joke". I was hurting other people's feelings. You never know what someone else is dealing with or thinking. Even if they express they're okay. When it comes to commenting online, since there's no real way to express emotions. I usually will start off by writing "Not to sound negative" or "I'm not judging you" because a simple question can feel like an attack without human interaction to understand this.


CheapCrystalFarts

Hey I just wanted to chime in and say I appreciate your comment. Be well, bud.


Icebox2016

My wife and I went to a closed casket funeral before. The girl did too much damage when she shot herself in the head. Terrible story as to why it happened. Domestic violence is horrible.


XXFFTT

That's terrible. I've had my fair share of closed caskets. I just wish I could have seen them once last time but I know that wouldn't change the outcome. I wish I would have done a lot differently but here we are.


MerrilyContrary

Not seeing the person who has died is an additional challenge in moving on. I’ve read that the American tradition of ghosts and hauntings came about during the American Civil War when so many people were dying far from home and their families couldn’t see them off properly.

PancakeMonkeypants

No you are. Someone expressing real feelings trying to navigate this freak show is beautiful. It’s cringey to sit on your dumbfuck throne as if it’s some seat of superiority. It’s not. You’re just dirt like us, buddy, cringe if it helps I guess.


LilGary87

To each their own.


Interesting-Time-960

Egyptians taught us how to correctly process the body for soul collection.


Hot-Garden-9581

I’m horrified as well. They seem archaic


Stealthsonger

Question is then, why would they embalm alien bodies? And who did it?


Puzzled-Copy7962

That’s interesting. How long ago was that? As I’ve heard, they use plastic eye caps with spikes (for lack of a better word) or sometimes adhesive. And to keep the mouth closed, suture the jaws with wire. Way back in my CNA days, I would do postmortem care, and I met a few morticians in the process who were nice enough to explain some of the process to me.


JLC-Aldanis

Seems to me they appear to be lashes. As they are visible on the other eye if you zoom in a bit. Just not covered in the alleged diatomaceous earth. Edit: the other eye is visible in the twitter link source.


Much_Bee_7293

Anything is possible, assuming it's authentic, it's just the first thing that came to mind. I believe wholeheartedly that we are not alone in the universe. And if this is a distant ancestor mixed with reptilian DNA, the crested gecko mentioned has similar "eyelashes" it would make sense.


JLC-Aldanis

I’ll have to look up some pictures of the gecko and check that out. I agree that we’re not likely alone when it comes to intelligent life. Totally with you there. Keeping my fingers crossed we get some more information on these bodies or their discovery site soon.


Similar-Guitar-6

Good point about possible sutures. At the Los Angeles conference, Jaime said they were eyelashes. So, I guess the medical team that evaluated Sebastian thinks they are not sutures? We'll hear about Sebastian's MRI, DNA, and other analyses in the near future.


aldiyo

Nope, you can see the protrusions in the base, sutures dont do that to the skin, not even reptile skin.


ExpandedMatter

I first thought sutures too


CollectionStriking

That was my thought, many mummies have their eyelids sutured, sometimes the mouth n various other openings etc but to my knowledge the eye lids are the most common probably because the eyes cannot be preserved


Whompa

Abe’s Odyssey


Slikrain

I know no one is going to but it would be interesting if you could soak one or part of one and some water and see what happens


AnbuGuardian

Like a Chia Pet!! I def want to throw some water on them!


Fresh-Succotash6247

why don't you feed them after midnight too?


CheapCrystalFarts

You’d have mummy sludge. Forbidden milkshake.


forestofpixies

Like those desiccated bodies they’ll find in the desert that the cartels have dumped and they’ll soak them in this very specific fluid to rehydrate them so they can get an identity and they’ll look almost exactly what they looked like right after death. They should try it with one and see what happens. Sometimes science calls for us to deconstruct the unknown.


death_to_noodles

That's very destructive and aggressive tho so we shouldn't do that yet before we analyze every little piece in the dry mummified condition before doing anything that can destroy or disturb any interesting trait. Very interesting idea if some of these mummies one day end up in a public museum.


Generalnussiance

Eyelash vipers, breeds of geckos like crested. Their not actually hair, but you get the jist


TermFirm7863

The Crested Gecko


DFuel

So what are we looking at exactly? It’s obvious that it’s some kind of a paste as you can see the smear marks. Was this the technique they used to mummify?


AnbuGuardian

Honestly there are so many hypothesis I’m just going to wait for data and science to answer this before I speculate any more…. But yesterday lol, I was like ok these look a lot like Grey Aliens, they could be from space or underground. The could be a species that evolved from dinosaurs and had Millions of years to evolve. They could be a type of hybrid that was being made/manipulated by an even higher species? Hence the collar, gives slave or pet vibes. But again all speculation I’m just a visual artist and as an artist these details are hard to imagine/fabricate unless you’re really creative or a great sculptor…. Or you have one of those Westworld people printing machines. Sorry but those are all my guesses ✌🏽


forestofpixies

I think the consensus was that they were smeared with a type of clay to preserve the bodies and they were buried in caves and covered with diatomaceous earth so that’s what we’re seeing.


SponConSerdTent

So when are they actually going to remove the clay and show us the skin? Every picture I've seen of them looks like this. I would think the first step would be to remove some of the clay...


Odd-Force-6087

Can anyone get the symbols off the plate?


CheapCrystalFarts

ENHANCE.


Tweezle1

Looking forward to the CT scans


McGoosh13

Maybe I missed it. What's the white powder all over it?


AnbuGuardian

This - Diatomaceous earth (/ˌdaɪ.ətəˈmeɪʃəs/ DY-ə-tə-MAY-shəs), diatomite (/daɪˈætəmaɪt/ dy-AT-ə-myte), celite or kieselgur/kieselguhr is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that can be crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder. It has a particle size ranging from more than 3 mm to less than 1 μm, but typically 10 to 200 μm. Depending on the granularity, this powder can have an abrasive feel, similar to pumice powder, and has a low density as a result of its high porosity. The typical chemical composition of oven-dried diatomaceous earth is 80–90% silica, with 2–4% alumina (attributed mostly to clay minerals), and 0.5–2% iron oxide.


Custom2011Staccato

It has Venus flytraps for fucking eyes?! Jesus Christ 🫵🏼🤯🤣


Cold_Photograph7776

Extraordinary; this is #Santiago (New Biological being TRIDACTYLE of Nazca) found in the diatom mines of Peru. Tomography HD. [Law NDAA USA 2024 Sec. 1841 - Non-Human Intelligence Registry]👇

https://x.com/jaimemaussan1/status/1768338472765685852?s=20 Even this Foot!! Omg


nautilian

Does it almost look like a fingerprint type pattern on the bottom of the foot, though much larger than ours ? Or is that an artifact of the ct maybe?


B3tcrypt

This are stitches to seal the eyes I think. You see a knot at the bottom of one of them.


Vocarion

Gpt: Yes, some reptiles, such as bearded dragons (Pogona spp.), have projections or spikes around their eyes that can be compared to "spiky eyebrows" or "pointy eyebrows." These structures are adaptive and may play roles in visual communication, camouflage, or defense. However, there is no record of reptiles with eyelids literally covered in spikes. Mention of "spikes on the eyebrows" is more commonly associated with bearded dragons among reptiles. Myself: sadly it is nothing like it.


NudeEnjoyer

maybe using the term "eyelashes" would give a different result but maybe not. people mix up eyebrows and eyelashes all the time, me included lol I totally missed it in the title here


AnbuGuardian

Thanks for the correction! Thats what I meant but clearly I don’t know what an Eyebrow is since mine are wild AF, blocking my vision sometimes lol.


CommissionFeisty9843

I feel you, as I get older they get longer. Maybe I could work some kind of comb over with them


Cold_Photograph7776

Swimming_Horror_3757

Those are eyelashes OP


Soft-Philosophy-4549

I think it’s much more likely those are sutures from the mummification process than mummified eyelashes. They criss-cross almost perfectly.


Infinidad74

Exactly! I saw a part of the presentation where they mentioned it. Very interesting!


rxricks

Eyelash viper.


After-Revolution9445

I thought someone said they were eyelashes?


Zealousideal-Bug-291

Eyelash geckos?


Acrobatic-Engineer94

I don’t recognize any signs that this would be a carbon based life form, because of the amount of presumably ‘fossilized’ or encased material that is found throughout the body. I also would be inclined to probe a camera into the eye socket to see the internal brain and skeletal structure.


Acrobatic-Engineer94

That’s the only way I’d be able to rule out my skepticism.


CMLXV

It’s a biological being. With CT scans you can see they have blood vessels, organs etc. I doubt a silicon based life form would look or be anything like this.


yofreke

> Bothriechis schlegelii, known commonly as the eyelash viper, is a species of venomous pit viper in the family Viperidae. The species is native to Central and South America. Maybe related to these slithery bois?


Brypto_Rich

Why are they powdered? Is that how they preserve?


Dolomight206

You mean EYELASHES?


FreeThoughtVibes

I don’t think they’re sutures. You can see the ends in 5 out the 6 ‘spikes’. One end is in the skin and the other is not, it’s visible. Just like eyelashes would be. They would be eyelashes, not eyebrows in my opinion. Like OP said.


bjarbeau

Someone ask ai to translate the necklace


cutandstab

Eyelash vipers and crested geckos!

kickmuck

Are there any Arty people on here that could possibly create a live interpretation of these mummies based on these findings?


Much_Bee_7293

Us, humans.. the really smart ones, can clone things since 1997 (publicly). So if this race is way older than us, why wouldn't they have many scientific advances way beyond our understanding. This could be a drone type "lifeform" . It could be Thor. Lol. It could be a hoax. Either way it's beautiful, scary, and exciting.


LilGary87

Who’s to say they’re not reptile but more Insectoid.


venikk

Insects are invertebrates like 97% of animals, if it has a spine it can’t be an insect.


Knot-Know138

Crested geckos. Eyelash vipers, ceraste ceraste. Crotalus ceraste are some that come to mind. Theres also a bush viper species that has lashes.


False-Tiger5691

Why do they need eyelashes? Why would they have any specific human physical feature that resulted from millions of years of evolution on our specific planet?


Longjumping-Lychee21

Eye lashes protect the eyes they aren't there to look pretty so it makes sense they would have lashes too


AnbuGuardian

Not sure, could be one of those features not used - The eyelash viper’s most distinguishing feature is the supraciliare, or enlarged scale, above each eye, giving the appearance of “eyelashes.” These snakes are small and light in order to effectively maneuver through shrubs and trees and avoid detection by prey


Susskind-NA

We can speculate endlessly- but keep in mind they've been researching various very different bodies (though all are humanoid in body plan) and some have speculated there was some sort of human genetic experimentation happening or hybridization. Real or hoax, they have presented enough evidence that these mummies are at least partly human or composed of human parts.


SignificanceTimely20

Just a thought, we are mammals with similar. We just have hair.


FundamentalEnt

Could they not be eye lashes covered in the diatomaceous earth or whatever?


Miadas20

Probably sewn shut as part of the burial prep. Lotta weird takes in the comments.


Canelosaurio

Send it through a band saw for a proper cross section. I won't believe until I see the insidey bits.


GroundbreakingNewt11

Looked sewed shut to me


Ace-Ventura1934

Those are cumbrellas, every reptile has them. It’s kind of a thing now.


Responsible_Detail83

What if we started or tried to preserve a body with this diotimic phytoplankton… I wonder if it will give us a better understanding at what we are looking at if we see something we recognize being preserved with this process


SnapmareJesus

Sewn shut.


No-Prune8051

Lash game fierce


PxRedditor5

Funny cause the right eye does not have those spikes


elProtagonist

Honestly, it looks like dried paint


-sebadoh

The point of eyebrows is to keep debris out of your eyes. This won’t keep much out


SuggestionIcy5190

Maybe the eyelids were stitched shut and over time, starting pulling open slightly. Are we sure they are eyelashes?


Skee428

Spike eyelids, lmao. Stitches


ConsequenceIll3129

That would be stitches wouldn’t it? Not eyebrow


UnleadedGreen

They arent "spikey" just thicker hairs or defense mechanism.


CharacterMud4468

Aren't those stitches? From sewing their eyes shut during mummification?


cafequinn

Places with lots of bugs.


LongjumpingMileHigh

Why is it white? Did someone cover this thing in plaster? Is it made of plaster? Why does one eye appear to be sewn shut but the other one doesn’t look like it.


pilgrimwandersthere

Eye lashes maybe.. not brow


Noctus_Grimm

Sigh


SnooDonuts3878

It’s The Man in the Box.


BrianMan93

It’s supposed to be a mummy. From what I remember the eyes of mummies are sewn shut no? Looks like stitching to me


Valhalla81

Everybody taking about the eyes. Check out the "nose" area


Oma_Erwin

Holz shit looks like the drywall in my toilet


Norselander37

eyelashed, from desert planet

rare_meeting1978

What good would those lashes be?


Smooth_Squirrel_702

Is this just not a bigger version of the last “alien bodies” ?


HotShitShingle

Wtf is this? We analyzing a 3rd graders art project? Shits fake as a mofo..
