In 2017, an archaeological team working in the Nazca desert made a discovery that would ignite one of the most controversial debates of the century. Beneath the sands, they unearthed mummified skeletons with elongated skulls—remains that didn’t match any known human group in the region. The find was unlike anything they had encountered before, sparking immediate fascination, speculation, and worldwide attention.
In this episode, we step into the moment of discovery. From the harsh desert conditions of the dig site to the first glimpse of the strange skulls, we follow the team’s shock, their early documentation, and the ripple effect that soon spread across the world. Media headlines called them “alien skeletons.” Social media exploded with theories, while scientists demanded rigorous testing and debated whether the find was evidence of cranial deformation, a lost civilization, or something far more extraordinary.
Join us as we uncover the story behind the first excavation, the media firestorm that followed, and the questions that still hang in the air. Were these remains a misunderstood part of human history—or something beyond it?
