Paracas

What the Show Claims

  • In 1928, archaeologist Julio Tello discovered the Paracas skulls of Peru--elongated heads with cranial volumes at least 25% larger than the largest known human skulls. Some believe these remains are of extraterrestrial origin.

What Archaeology Says

The Paracas skulls are known artificial cranial deformations, a cultural practice documented in multiple ancient Peruvian civilizations. Modern genetic and anthropological analysis confirms they are human remains modified through binding practices, not extraterrestrial.
