American Alchemy: Alien Mummies Found In Peru (DNA Test REVEALED!) | Exclusive Documentary

Release Date: August 12, 2025

Introduction

In this riveting episode of American Alchemy, host Jesse Michels delves into one of the most enigmatic discoveries of our time: the alleged alien mummies unearthed in Nazca, Peru. Joined by Amar Kandeel from the renowned YouTube channel Yes Theory, Michels navigates the murky waters of archaeology, forensic science, and extraterrestrial theories to uncover the truth behind these mysterious tridactyl (three-fingered) mummies.

Discovery of the Tridactyl Mummies

The journey begins with Jesse recounting his firsthand experience in Peru:

[00:00] Jesse: "I just got back from Peru where I saw one of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life... I'm of course talking about these ancient Peruvian tridactyl, three-fingered and three-toed mummies."

Amar Kandeel echoes this astonishment:

[00:29] Amar: "Alien mummies. Alien corpses."

These discoveries were made by a gravedigger named Leandro in 2015, who stumbled upon a cave containing over 200 body parts, including isolated heads, limbs, and entire intact bodies. These remains were preserved in diatomaceous earth, ensuring their remarkable state of mummification.

Forensic Analysis and DNA Testing

The core of the episode revolves around the forensic examination and DNA analysis of these mummies. Jesse emphasizes the skepticism surrounding the findings:

[00:38] Jesse: "Top forensic experts in Peru, Mexico, and the United States have all investigated these bodies. After thorough investigation, they all think that these beings were probably once alive."

Forensic experts like John McDowell, President of the American Forensics Association, and Jim Caruso, Chief Medical Examiner for Denver, have examined the mummies. Dr. David Ruiz, President of the Peruvian Society of Legal Medicine, further validates the findings:

[19:57] Jesse: "He takes things even farther than McDowell confidently."

Amar introduces the genetic anomalies discovered:

[16:02] Jesse: "That's a CT scan... if that's a real image, there's no way that's fake."

DNA tests revealed that approximately 70% of the DNA matched known organisms, while the remaining 30% remained unidentified. This unprecedented genetic divergence raises questions about the origins of these beings. Proteomics analysis even identified alpaca proteins on some specimens, suggesting possible contamination or hybridization.

Government Response and Legal Battles

The discovery did not go unnoticed by the Peruvian government. Jesse highlights the government's seemingly antagonistic stance towards the research:

[03:24] Jesse: "We have caught the Peruvian government and Ministry of Culture in multiple instances of bad faith acting around this case."

Amar shares the legal confrontations faced by researchers:

[03:36] Amar: "I put a lawsuit against them for $300 million."

This legal battle underscores the tension between independent researchers and governmental bodies wary of the implications such discoveries might entail.

Subterranean Tunnels and Hidden Civilizations

Expanding beyond the mummies, the discussion ventures into the possibility of extensive subterranean tunnel systems in Nazca. These tunnels, some resembling vast underground cities, hint at hidden civilizations that might have coexisted or interacted with these mysterious beings.

Amar speculates:

[39:54] Amar: "Imagine if there's some breakoff civilization where they lived... they're different than us."

This notion aligns with global myths of subterranean cities, such as those documented by Graham Hancock in Turkey, suggesting a pattern of hidden societies across different cultures and geographies.

Theories on Origins and Genetic Manipulation

One of the most compelling aspects of the episode is the exploration of how these beings might have originated. Amar presents the hypothesis of genetic hybridization:

[55:07] Amar: "Approximately 2,500 years ago... this early human may have migrated to Africa and encountered these organisms."

This theory posits a natural hybrid between Asian and African ancestors, possibly facilitated by ancient genetic manipulation techniques hinted at by the presence of rare metals like osmium and cadmium in their implants.

Controversies and Debunking Attempts

Skeptics, such as journalist Flavio Estrada, have attempted to debunk the authenticity of the mummies by conflating them with wooden figurines found at Lima Airport:

[22:05] Jesse: "They're not extraterrestrials. They're dolls made from animal bones... said Flavio Estrada."

However, Michels and Kandeel argue that these figurines are distinct from the anatomically consistent mummies, emphasizing the need to separate fact from fabricated artifacts.

Broader Implications and Related UFO Cases

The episode draws parallels between the Peruvian mummies and other global UFO phenomena. From the Russian Irkutsk UFO sightings in 2011 to alleged American crash retrievals in Peru, Michels suggests a pattern of extraterrestrial interactions with Earth.

[47:51] Amar: "At one point it looked half like green and half purple... but the villagers weren't satisfied with that explanation."

Such connections bolster the argument for a more extensive extraterrestrial presence on Earth, intertwining archaeological discoveries with contemporary UFO lore.

Conclusion

In wrapping up, Jesse adopts a probabilistic stance:

[60:27] Amar: "To shake out... I think the M types are probably real."

While acknowledging the presence of hoaxes and fabricated artifacts, the episode leans towards the authenticity of certain mummies based on forensic and genetic evidence. The continued legal battles and shifting government positions suggest that the truth about these alien mummies remains tantalizingly out of reach, waiting for definitive proof to settle the debate once and for all.

Final Thoughts

This episode of American Alchemy masterfully navigates the complex interplay between ancient mysteries and modern-day conspiracy theories. By presenting forensic evidence, expert testimonies, and firsthand accounts, Jesse Michels and Amar Kandeel invite listeners to ponder the possibility that humanity's history may be intertwined with forces beyond our understanding. Whether these mummies are proof of extraterrestrial life, ancient hybrids, or elaborate hoaxes remains to be seen, but the quest for truth continues to captivate and challenge our perceptions.
