A paranormal website has now released ten films claiming to have historically found evidence that intelligent aliens arrived on Earth thousands of years ago. If true, claims made by Gaia.com online videos that several mummified aliens had been found in Nazca, Peru, would reshape world history and how we see the universe, according to one reseracher. Investigative Mexican journalist Jamie Maussan, declared in a Gaia.com video it was a "world-changing event." But scientists have poured scorn on the claim and branded it an elaborate hoax. The Peruvian branch of the World Congress on Mummy Studies even called for a criminal probe amid claims genuine mummified human remains had been used to construct the aliens. Yet Gaia.com continues to release its slick documentaries which purport that a genuine scientific inquiry is underway.

YouTube At a press conference the "research team" claimed to have found five mummified alien beings.

Viewers have now been shown the alleged tomb, where several mummified aliens were supposedly found, and seen claims that at least one "alien" had eggs inside it. So why would so much effort have gone into an elaborate hoax, and how did it all start? The story appears to have started in 2015. According to Paul Ronceros, who uses the name Krawix online, the first alleged discovery was made that year. The first objects to surface were a large, three fingered claw, a small head and a tiny body that resembled ET of 21cm in size. He wrote: "In 2015, under the arid subsoil of the Nazca desert, a series of subterranean passageways and chambers were discovered, where two stone sarcophagi containing different mummified bodies of humanoid appearance were found."

Mummified animals in Gaza Mon, March 7, 2016 These are the horrifying pictures of mummified corpses of dozens of animals that starved to death in the world's worst zoo. The photographs were taken at Khan Younis zoo in the impoverished Gaza Strip. The animals were left without food due to the Palestinian and Israeli conflict, as staff were unable to feed or care for them properly.

But there have been arguments the clip entitled "What is this weird creature with wings in this jar?" could be an online money spinner, because the clip promotes a website where viewers have to pay to see the full documentary. Mr Foerster has not released any findings on the so-called Nazca mummies and the case appears to have been taken over by Gaia.com and investigative Mexican journalist Jamie Maussan. Mr Maussan has also previously investigated a series of alleged alien body discoveries which turned out to be hoaxes, including claims that an old slide found near Roswell, New Mexico, USA, showed the body of an alien recovered from the infamous alleged flying saucer crash of 1947. This was later found to be the remains of a mummified human child. In another Gaia.com video, Mr Jamin was also back on the scene, and described the man who provided the mummies to him.

The film went on to name the man who allegedly found the tomb only as Mario, who they said had made some of the big archaeological discoveries in Peru. So, what is clear is the genuine scientific community claims these are fake mummies put together using the real remains of humans, and therefore archaeological crimes have have been committed. However, we do not know exactly where they are supposed to have been found, or really who by. And, with so many people who have previously been involved in investigating discoveries that later turned out to be hoaxes, or misidentified objects, these so-called world-changing finds appear to be fake. With more videos in the pipeline from Gaia.com, the motivation behind the slick productions remains unclear. Gaia.com charges fees for some of its videos to be viewed and a fee-paying conference was held about the Nazca mummies.

Other theories are that people who obtain these questionable finds do so it order to fund raise for DNA tests and the like to be carried out. Express.co.uk has asked Gaia.com and Mr Maussan for details about where the so-called alien mummies were discovered. We asked for the location, who found them, whether it was part on an official dig, and if there were any pictures of the discovery. Both Gaia.com and Mr Maussan failed to answer. However, footage in the new video shows what appears to be the entrance to the tomb and mummified remains buried in there, at an undisclosed location. Mr Foerster was unavailable for comment when Express.co.uk contacted him.
