A mysterious statue of an alien-like figure found by workers in Mexico has been analyzed by experts.
According to reports, workers had discovered the strange anthropomorphic statue, which was assumed to be of archaeological significance, during excavations at a site in Acapulco, Guerrero on May 16th.
Before long, the emergency services had been called out to the site and the local media had picked up on the story, prompting a great deal of speculation over what the mysterious statue could be.
It was certainly an unusual piece - sporting an elongated face, diagonally-oriented eyes and a strange mask as well as what appeared to be a representation of a feathered serpent and a skull.
The discovery prompted claims that this could be some sort of ancient statue, perhaps built to honor visiting extraterrestrials or even left on Earth by the visitors themselves.
As it turns out, however, this was definitely not the case.
After analyzing the find, experts from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) have since concluded that the statue is neither extraterrestrial, nor even that old.
"The face of the main character and the shape of the skull that he holds with his left hand, as well as the limbs with three fingers, are related to current alien representations, which is outside the pre-Hispanic context, reasons why the sculpture does not It is of pre-Hispanic origin nor can it be considered archaeological cultural heritage," they wrote.
So what is the statue and where did it come from ?
The most likely explanation, according to the team, is that it is some sort of modern sculpture that belonged to someone whose house in the area recently collapsed during Hurricane Otis.
A second similar piece was also reportedly found, but has since disappeared.
Exactly who built them and why, however, continues to remain a mystery.
