Scientists have conducted a new analysis of the pint-sized mummies to determine what they are made of.
The alleged extraterrestrials made headline news when they mysteriously showed up at the Lima airport offices of courier DHL in a cardboard box back in October of last year.
At the time, the discovery prompted speculation that these could be the mummified remains of alien entities that had been buried long ago and then later excavated at an archaeological site in Peru.
Their peculiar proportions and tiny size made them particularly perplexing.
Now, though, a new scientific analysis of the alleged aliens has revealed that they are in fact little more than dolls created from a combination of human and animal skeletal remains.
"They're not extraterrestrials," said archaeologist Flavio Estrada of Peru's Institute for Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences. "They're dolls made from animal bones from this planet joined together with modern synthetic glue."
"It's totally a made-up story."
It's worth clarifying that these particular 'aliens' do not appear to be the same ones presented by UFO researcher Jaime Maussan at a Mexican congressional hearing last year.
That said, it's certainly possible that those were put together in a very similar way.
