Mystery "Natural" Mummies Grips Colombian Town

Locals in Colombia's Andes Mountains are baffled by the "natural mummies" found in one cemetery. The bodies have remained preserved without any chemical treatment.

Full Story:

The mystery surrounding the natural mummies of San Bernardo, Columbia have confounded people for 55 years.

No one knows why these buried bodies are preserved so well but speculation abounds.

Father Carlos Julio Cardenas Torres, Parish Priest of San Bernardo:
"It is thought that it could be one of two possibilities. The first is the climate, the ground temperature of where we're at. The second, which is thought the more precise and concrete argument, is the food eaten."

Many locals believe the regional diet, mainly a type of squash called chayote, is behind the preserved bodies.

Other believes it has to do with the cemetery location, which was moved in 1957 due to erosion near the old cemetery.

Jose Del Carmen Rojas, Local:
"I think the geographic location of the cemetery, the actual site. I think it is something to do with the universe, because it never happened at the old cemetery, never. No mummies ever came out of there."

In Colombia it is customary to put the dead in an above ground tomb where the body remains for five years.

Then the family gathers up the remains-usually just bones- and moves them to a smaller nearby ossuary.

About 55 years ago these remains started coming out with skin, hair and clothing intact, and no one knows why.

The groundskeepers at the San Bernardo cemetery confirmed the bodies are not embalmed or treated with anything to preserve them.

Extraterrestrial Mummy Found In Egypt 2012

The rumors have been whispered for years that the mummy of an extraterrestrial had been found in Egypt, nestled in a burial chamber beside a great Pharaoh.

The body of a perfectly preserved, carefully mummified alien was found buried in an ancient pyramid. A mysterious creature from between 150 and 160 centimeters was found by an archaeologist near Lahun when exploring a small pyramid near the Dynasty doceaba of Senusret II.

However, this fact was not revealed immediately. "The mummy of what appears to be an alien, dates back more than 2000 years and it seems it would be a humanoid" said a source at the Egyptian Antiquities Department, who provided details and photographs of the find but did so under condition anonymity. "

Some online sources said that this is a species-being for its fur and reptilian traits that characterize them, such as their eyes, too large and oval shaped. Inscriptions on the tomb of the mummy showed that the king was a counselor named Osirunet, meaning star or sent from heaven. " The mummified body was buried with great respect and care, accompanied by a number of strange objects far from the archaeological museum managers can not identify.

According to Egyptian sources, the alien mummy was discovered by Dr. Viktor Lubek, Czechoslovakian citizen and retired professor of the University of Pennsylvania. Archaeologist located the hidden compartment while conducting an investigation into a small pyramid south of the main pyramid, Senusret II, which contains the queen of the pharaoh. At the site also found some gold and clay mixtures covering the body, and traces of cloth linen like appearance, the skin covering the enigmatic being.

Objects containing the tomb include artifacts made of a synthetic type resist that nobody could identify. No one has found similar elements in other Egyptian tombs, so the discovery would greatly importanca for current archeology.

The anonymous messenger which has obtained the information, also said that the discovery has caused great consternation among Egyptian officials, who want to keep it hidden until a plausible explanation for the strange mummy. The government has consulted a number of respected archaeologists, but to date none can explain the finding in ordinary terms.

"The truth is, that every expert who has seen the mummy have concluded that it is not of earthly origin," said the source. "There is a sense that this is an alien who somehow ended up advising an Egyptian king." But everyone in the government is moving away from that conclusion that would support the new ideas that the ancient Egyptians had help from aliens in building their extraordinary civilization. "The Egyptians refuse to believe that their heritage came from outer space."
