Three-Fingered Mummified Humanoid Found in Peru

That's actually pretty surprising and impressive. I didn't realize that it has become possible.

Check this out.

Ancient-human genomes plucked from cave dirt
For the first time, researchers have identified DNA of human relatives without the need to find their bones, opening new window into the past.

Now it occurs to me that I did read about that. It's incredible how far technology has come in the past few years.

This is an ancient god that South Americans used to worship

What if the whole mitology was real?

They found a whole T-Rex skeleton that was not fossilized once... the story got buried of course. They extract DNA from dinosaurs that supposedly died 65 million years ago. People actually believe that DNA survives that long, they go to great lengths to believe it in fact LOL Evidence of a young earth pops up all the time and it disappears. I love that first moon lander. They calculated that if the solar system was billions of years that the dust collected would be several feet thick. The Astronauts walked around barely kicking anything up. They changed all their belief system to accommodate that little amount of dust over billions of years instead of just saying "this isn't as old as we thought"

We call this the scientific method boys and girls. We propose a hypotheses, we test it, and if it turns out to be false we acknowledge that the hypothesis was wrong and come up with another. We also put our findings up for peer review and invite everyone else to critique what we might have missed and replicate our findings. It's basically the reason we're not still riding around on horses with half our children dying of disease before reaching adulthood, and incidentally why you were able to type that bit of nonsense and send it around the world.
That's opposed to blind faith and refusal to change your beliefs based on evidence. I'll choose our way, but if you insist on choosing yours please refrain from using anything that we developed with this horrible scientific method of ours. You wouldn't want to taint yourself with it.

I think I saw this in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

Nah, those were Ruskies.

So has there been any results of the DNA test of the three-fingered mummy?

There's been 8 episodes of this so far and they found a bunch of similar 3 fingered mummies in the same area.

I watched the last episode and it seems they are still decoding the DNA to see how human it is. Seems to be mostly human as far as the brain and internal organs go, but the smaller ones are slightly different.

Thank you for the update. I will definitely watch this, I was wondering what happened.
