Mexico’s congress hosts a debate on supposed “non-human beings” found in Peru, sparking controversy.
The lower house of Mexico’s congress once again held a spectacle, dedicating over three hours to a controversial figure who presented the case for “non-human beings” reportedly found in Peru. Journalist José Jaime Maussan and a group of Peruvian doctors were at the center of this session, which took place less than three weeks after Category 5 Hurricane Otis struck Acapulco. Maussan and some Mexican lawmakers had previously faced international ridicule in September for presenting two boxes containing what they claimed were mummies from Peru, asserting that they were “non-human beings not part of terrestrial evolution.”
In 2017, Maussan had made similar claims in Peru, but the country’s prosecutor’s office concluded that the bodies were actually “recently manufactured dolls covered with a mixture of paper and synthetic glue to simulate skin.” They were deemed human-made, not the remains of ancestral aliens.
During the recent session, Dr. Daniel Mendoza displayed photographs and x-rays of what he referred to as a “non-human being,” while Maussan suggested it represented a “new species” due to its absence of lungs or ribs. Lawmaker Sergio Gutiérrez Luna, from President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s governing party, emphasized that all ideas and proposals are welcome for debate, regardless of agreement or disagreement.
