Back in 2003 conspiracy theorists were in a tizzy following the discovery of an alien-like skeleton in a remote Chilean town. Theories spread about the origin of the tiny mummified body but now the mystery has been solved.
‘Ata,’ as it was named, was discovered tucked inside a pouch behind a church in a ghost town in Chile’s Atacama desert. Unlike anything ever found before, it had an elongated skull, strange sunken eyes and ten pairs of ribs, humans typically have 12 pairs.
Perhaps the most bizarre feature of Ata was its size. Despite appearing fully formed, it’s roughly 6 inches (13cm) long, no bigger than a dollar bill. Until now its gender, age, how long it had been buried in the Atacama desert, cause of death – and even home planet – remained a mystery.
These questions have now been answered thanks to a comprehensive genome analysis by scientists from Stanford University and the University of California-San Francisco. “I had heard about this specimen through a friend of mine, and I managed to get a picture of it,” senior study author Garry Nolan said in a university press release.
“You can’t look at this specimen and not think it’s interesting; it’s quite dramatic. So I told my friend, ‘Look, whatever it is, if it’s got DNA, I can do the analysis,’” he added. After five years of arduous testing the scientists concluded that Ata was the skeleton of a human female “likely a fetus, that had suffered severe genetic mutations.”
Furthermore her remains were not as ancient as previously thought, only about 40 years old, and, “though most likely a fetus, had the bone composition of a 6-year-old, an indication that she had a rare, bone-aging disorder.”
The results also showed a number of mutations in Ata’s DNA that “separately or in combinations contribute to various bone deformities, facial malformations or skeletal dysplasia, more commonly known as dwarfism.”
The teams research was published Thursday in the journal Genome Research. It brings to a close the mystery surrounding the highly unusual find.

Skeleton bones do not adhere together
You can’t look at this specimen and not think it’s a fake; it’s quite out-of-a-box-of-Capn-Crunch.
*old story ping*
Actually, the Magrotheon who got the design award for the fjords in Norway got stoned one night. He planted that skeleton along with the fossils. He thought it would be a hoot.
I think I once saw that on my luncheon plate at my local Sheraton Hotel restaurant. They said it was chicken.
They would, if the soft tissues were to dry instead of rot away. The skeleton was found in a desert, so she probably mummified after death.
With so many mutations, I have to wonder if she was the product of inbreeding.
You mean like Democrats?
Using a little imagination, it looks like a carving to me....probably pieced together...would explain DNA mixture.
There are no aliens. There are only fallen angels and interdimensional beings. The aliens story is a hoax.
Interesting...
Or muslims...
Interesting. Your post is the only thing that comes up on a search of Magrotheon...

I probably misspelled it. The reference is to “The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Universe.” The Earth was designed and built at the behest of the mice, who wanted the ultimate question to the ultimate answer, which was, 42. Turns out the mice were running experiments on us, rather than the other way around. The designer was Slarty Bartfast. (Probably also misspelled.)
It’s a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Reference. Magratheans design planets.
They faked 9/11 and next to come will be the faked Alien invasion. Don’t fall for it.
Here ya go.
Magrathea is an ancient planet located in orbit around the twin suns Soulianis and Rahm in the heart of the Horsehead Nebula . It was the home of a new form of specialist industry: custom-made, luxury planet building. Hyperspatial engineers sucked matter through white holes in space to form dream planets - gold planets, square planets, glass planets, platinum planets, soft rubber planets with lots of earthquakes, planets covered with fish - all lovingly made to meet the exacting standards that the Galaxy’s richest men naturally came to expect.
