The Paracas, Who Were They?

DNA tests reveal that Paracas skulls are not human | Mysteriesrunsolved

A while back I did a lot of studying about the Nazca Lines, and while doing so I came upon an article about some peoples called the Paracas.   They lived thousands of years ago near Peru, and some of their skulls found by archeologists are now in museums.   It has been questioned why their skulls were shaped the way they were, and possibly could it be a link to ancient aliens once on earth.

Hi Brandy

Likely a search would have brought up several threads about this and just to note your article claims they were tested for dna it does not show any results  so kind of a hollow point.

Well, ok about the search, but I disagree with you a little about the DNA.   I'm pretty sure I read they found out the Paracas were not human, at least not what we think of as human, which lead to the question of where they came from and possible ancient alien involvement due to the skull shapes.

The title reads DNA tests reveal the Paraca skulls are not human.  No hollow point.

 You'll note that at no point were the names mentioned nor was the lab where the results were tested. 

The star child skull has received legitimate DNA testing. Though unlike what's claimed in the article returned normal human DNA result matching the expected profile for the region.

It should be pointed out that the Paracas skull DNA claim was also “favorably” compared to Lloyd Pye’s Starchild skull DNA claim and as several of you know from my posts Pye claimed there were only a handful of MtDNA haplogroups in the human genome and he really screwed up when he effectively ignored the majority of the 3500+ groups and subgroups TO INCLUDE MINE. Needless to say I’m very much human, believe it or not.

Julio C. Tello discovered the skulls, and The Paracas Museum of History sent 5 samples for genetic testing.

And isn't the one making the claims theyre citing. Just some unspecified researchers.

Great. Who? Who sent them for testing. Who did the testing. What, exactly were the results. Who verified

Nobody has verified it so far. As to the Starchild skull testing was “performed by Dr. David Sweet, Director of the Bureau of Legal Dentistry at the University of British Columbia”. The results were Amerindian Male.  That places the alien claim in the trash where it belongs.

You included the same link as I did earlier.

 My questions were for brandy towards the article.

The Starchild fraud was used to generate money for its leading con men Lloyd Pye and Mark Bean. It's remarkable how these old debunked hoaxes still continue to draw people in.

No worries. I put an emoticon on the message but the forum rejected it. For reasons.

They’re human. As human as you, me, PapaG... even as human as the god amongst men that is Jaylemurphy. 
What they are is someone literally abusing a corpse, probably of a child, in order to make a quick buck off of rubes.

*looks around* 

 I believe we've reached pavlovian levels of reactions to the Paracas

According to this. The claim is they were human, just mutated away from the baseline. But, even that seems unproven.

Quote

Interestingly, the mitochondrial DNA, which is inherited from the mother, showed mutations that were unknown to any man, primate or animal found on planet Earth. The mutations present in the samples of the Paracas skulls suggest that researchers were dealing with a completely new ‘human-like being,’ very different from Homo sapiens, Neanderthals or Denisovans.

Quote

The announcement in 2014 that the skulls had non-human DNA was originally promoted by Brien Foerster, a figure known for pseudoscience.

Quote

We found no credible academic sources or publications corroborating the claim that DNA taken from the skulls found at Paracas was not human in origin or abnormal enough to warrant further study. The practice of purposely elongating skulls is well known to anthropologists, and while academics may debate the motivation certain societies had for doing it, there is no scientific debate over whether those societies were human.

Proof of nonhuman = 0

Evidence indicating normal people for their time = tons.

But, each person decides for themselves I guess.

These so-called DNA tests are performed by a woman who also has "established" from DNA that hair samples are definitely from Bigfoot.

It's sort of her M.O. She'll give you a news release that says whatever you want it to say, and you never publish the actual DNA findings so people can't really see WTF you're talking about.

Pye used her, and he was really bad about posting partial versions of his test results so you couldn't really interpret the findings.

He milked that thing, and the Paracas thing, literally for years - constantly asking for donations so he could pay for more "testing" (supposedly.)

When he died, Brien Foerster glommed onto Pye's cash cow. But most of the cash flow has tapered off considerably since Pye's heyday.

As I recall her paper was the kne that claimed that Bigfoot was a human subspecies that branched off some ridiculously short time ago. Something more recent than the genetic isolation of natives here

Come on guys I thought Rupert already explained that 'bigfoots' are just escaped Atlantean trans-dimensional guinea pig like pets. Most Atlantean children obtain them once they could do Algebraic geometry and handle zeroes in polynomials. An act of passage as it were, usually around age 7. His 'bigfoot' he named 'Spine splinterer'. He like many children once they became teen-agers would release their pets in the wild...

I side with you in the willingness to believe in the unbelievable.... but I also believe in human nature. Meaning that unknown sequences in a dna chain that would prove alien or new upright walking monkeys would last about 3 hours after sequencing before the lid would blow off. You couldn’t keep this a secret as it would be a several Nobel prize creation event.

If they could even sequence them.

Depending on which system they used an automated system would - I believe - just come up with an error message.

https://sciencing.com/kind-equipment-used-analyze-dna-6137001.html  Cormac could you comment on this?

The idea that alien 'dna' and ours would be the same is a bit of stretch even a greater stretch would be that our chemistry would even be remotely the same or that we could 'mate'. Its difficult on earth for different species to mate and to have fertile hybrids.

Depending on the quality of DNA being tested, whether it’s a complete or degraded sample, the best can be shown to be better than 99% accurate in determining whether a subject is human, male or female and in some cases cultural affinities. At this point the study of archaeogenetics and testing specifically are advanced enough to even differentiate Homo sapiens sapiens from Neanderthals and Denisovans as well as lesser related species such as gorilla, chimpanzee or gibbons to name a few. It would be effectively impossible for an ET to mate with a human as it would have to carry exact and compatible DNA to humans. Remember the difference between us and chimpanzees is that we have 23 pairs of chromosomes while they have 24. Our 23rd being a fusion of two different chromosomes.
 

Also, and specifically in the case of Neanderthal/Modern human cross breeding  MUCH of the DNA we originally inherited from Neanderthals has since been deleted by us due to deleterious effects on our genome. Alien DNA as described for either the Paracas or Starchild skulls CANNOT be hidden as claimed either. It’s fiction.

That's why the aliens had to do so much "anal probing" back in the '70s. Getting test samples don't c'ha know. :whistle: :alien:

Nah. Those were the dumb aliens - they weren't sure which hole to use.

Not like the smart aliens in ancient times, who automatically understood the proper anatomy.
