How did the Ancient Egyptians carve and move their megalithic obelisks? Here’s a thread with some clues showing how they might have done it…

@TonyTrupp @incredhistory Yes, that is Mario. Notorious grave robber and all around scammer. Leandro actually did some time behind bars for making counterfeit dollars. But found grave robbing to be gar more lucrative. Leandro is part of a smuggling amd trafficking ring and is often seem armed with pistol

The guy in these photos is Mario, a central fraudster that is behind all these fake nazca alien mummies. “Mario’s real name is Leandro Benedicto Rivera Sarmiento. According to the newspaper Los Andes, in 2007 he was captured in Puno together with ten people for swindling under

Open Letter to All Nazca Mummy Researchers: Although there are still clearly some very strange anomalies that make this case extremely interesting and worth investigating, I would like to call attention to two photographs that I believe are not being scrutinized enough. One of

More evidence that these are fakes is summarized here
They’re taking real human mummies then removing two of the fingers and toes, and using those removed bones to extend the remaining digits. Then they use the white diatomaceous earth to cover their cut marks. In some cases you can see where they used metal to hold those modified

And here Scott’s pointing out the tendon of where the thumb was before it was removed.
@gchavez101 @JosephAPWilson1 In this scan of "Maria" you can see the the extensor tendons running along the dorsal surface of the wrist and metacarpals. If this mummy really had only three fingers, why is there a fourth extensor tendon visible where a normal human thumb should be located?

Notice how, unlike the other toes, the bones on the left are narrower towards the foot and wider towards the toes. If this were real you’d expect the right and left feet to exhibit similar anatomy. Yet more proof that these nazca mummies are a scam. How many red flags do
EXPOSE the criminals. #NAZCAMUMMIES #ScamAlert Look at the terrible incompetent grisly human body part sculpture in the mutilated human mummy known as PALOMA. They inserted extra bones HAPHAZARDLY with the wrong orientation. They think you are STUPID. #JusticeForNazca

Polo de Ondegardo on the Inca mason’s use of hammerstones to create precisely fitted stonework.
Did the Inca era stonemasons really use hammerstones? Multiple lines of evidence indicate that, yes, they were indeed used. Firstly, we see proof within the physical evidence. Many hammerstones have been recovered from both quarry sites and construction areas. Hiram

Some may doubt whether such simple tools could achieve these results, but humans have an extensive history of shaping stone with little more than carefully wielded hammerstones. More than twelve millennia ago, Paleo-Indian hunters crafted finely flaked, bifacial spear points from

Their use of hammerstones was also recorded by numerous early Spanish chroniclers, who witnessed them creating precisely fitted stonework (Cieza de León, 1554; Polo de Ondegardo, 1571; Father Bernabé Cobo, 1653; Garcilaso de la Vega, 1609; Murúa, 1616).

Although less pronounced, comparable hammerstone marks also appear on granite and andesite. And yes, these hammerstone impact marks can also be seen on the megalithic and precisely fitted polygonal masonry.

Another category of evidence is the impact traces left on the surfaces of the stones themselves. These marks are especially apparent on the limestone blocks at Sacsayhuamán and nearby sites. Since this calcium-carbonate-rich stone forms white spots when struck, the hammerstone

@TonyTrupp @GGSH099 @tridactyls In these image of Maria's hands you can see how they inserted extra bones to make the fingers longer - just as they did with the feet. But they were sloppier with the orientation of some of them!

@TonyTrupp I don’t know how people got so easily fooled by this hoax. It seemed so obvious when they first started rolling these things out. I guess if you get some doctors to profess they’re legit and razzle dazzle people with some sciencey terms here and there you can get people to

How much would one of these fake aliens go for on the black market if the buyer was a true believer?
“In an interview with Reuters, Rivera said he removed as many as 200 sets of remains from the cave, and some bodies had been smuggled out of Peru to France, Spain and Russia. The presentation of bodies in Mexico – as well as Rivera's claims to have dozens more – have prompted

The caked on diatomaceous earth also allows the fraudsters to carve in these stupid looking eye slits, which don’t even align with the underlying eye sockets.

When some who really understands human anatomy analyses these supposed alien mummies it becomes even more apparent that they removed a couple digits from a human hand to make it three fingered.
