It's literally just the Nazca mummy hoax.

The carbon dating thing is odd. To start with, "able to draw DNA evidence using radiocarbon dating" is a sentence that makes no sense to me. Secondarily, I wouldn't think that you could apply radiocarbon dating in a meaningful way to anything that's not from pre-nuclear-testing earth. It'd assume the C14 ratios are the same as earth's.<p>There is a lot more that's odd and not believable of course, this is just something that stood out to me.
"Mr Maussan has previously been associated with claims of “alien” discoveries that have later been debunked, including five mummies found in Peru in 2017 that were later shown to be human children."<p>It does not seem to be the most credible person to show evidence.
Although the whole hearing was around 3 hours long from many different people from different countries (France, US, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, even a congressman from Japan), this particular part of it is a known hoax.<p>Now, I'm not sure about the other claims, it's interesting to see that the ones that seem more legitimate are actually no more than what pretty much everyone knows... weird objects in the sky moving in ways and speeds that we know no technology is capable of. There's also similar things in the ocean and some describe certain "weird objects". But... that's about it. I mean, there's _a lot_ of it and from different countries; so I'm very much willing to believe.<p>But then, on the other hand, you get people like these showing off these "alien bodies"... it really takes away from the more credible claims.<p>I think, personally, if you're more seriously interested in this kind of phenomena just following what Avi Loeb is up to might be enough.<p>Let's just remember what happened with LK-99, if there's a big discovery that is in any way credible we are most definitely going to see a flurry of scientific development/refutations around it. Now, it's true that governments might be keeping things from us and we deserve to know; so I'm still very happy to see these kinds of hearings going on.
Wouldn't we expect to see substantially more than 30% of the DNA be different.<p>I don't think carbon dating can be used to extract DNA.<p>I also would have thought DNA would have degraded significantly over that period of time.<p>There are probably a thousand more reasons this is blatantly false, to those with scientific knowledge beyond my early highschool experiences.<p>It's bizarre and fascinating the Mexican government has entertained this.
What does DNA evidence from radiocarbon dating even mean? The two things have nothing to do with one another and the guy seems to have a reputation as a charlatan. It’s just weird that the guy can’t pull off reasonable science based hoodwinking, he’s so pathetic he can’t even pull off something a zoomer with a tiktok education could pull off.
