Many scientists have called the “alien” mummies found in Peru a hoax. But a new study shows something different. Recent analysis of one of the humanoids named Maria showed that it has biological similarities to humans, but with many morphological and anatomical structural differences. It turned out that the elongated skull of the mummified humanoid does not show any signs of artificial deformation. Scientists were also able to find out that the mummy was created between 240 and 383 AD, reports the Daily Mail. The mummy, nicknamed Maria, was one of six mummies found in a tomb in Nazca, a city in southern Peru. The mummy, nicknamed Maria, was one of six mummies found in a tomb in Nazca, a city in southern Peru, in 2017. Journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan found these mummies and stated that they are of alien origin and that they are creatures that once lived on Earth. Many scientists have stated that these mummies are actually hoaxes and were modified by tomb robbers. In 2018, scientists, based on analyzes of DNA samples and other materials, came to the conclusion that these mummies belong to people. But these statements did not stop Maussan and other scientists who continued further study of humanoids. The latest study was conducted by scientists from Peru. Scientists found that the mummy did not have hair and external ears, that is, there were only openings of the ear canals. It also turned out that the lengthening of the skull was not created artificially. Scientists suggest that the skull was originally of this shape. Moreover, the volume of the skull is 30% greater than that of a person. Scientists found that the mummy did not have hair and external ears, that is, there were only openings of the ear canals. It also turned out that the lengthening of the skull was not created artificially Scans of the humanoid revealed that it had bulging eyes and protruding upper and lower jaws. Maria was missing six teeth, the rest were badly worn, and three wisdom teeth were also missing. According to scientists, they found the most unusual features of the humanoid in its arms and legs. The width of the wrist bones and the bases of the three fingers change smoothly and evenly, making the hands as wide as a person’s, but about 20 cm longer. Each finger of the hand has four phalanges, as opposed to three phalanges in humans. The bones of the foot blend smoothly into three toes and are the same width as a human’s, but approximately 23 cm longer. The toes also have four phalanges.

Each finger of the hand has four phalanges, as opposed to three phalanges in humans. Scientists also found that Mary’s calcaneus, which forms the heel, has a different shape and structure than in humans. Based on this, scientists believe that this humanoid did not walk completely straight, but moved hunched over to maintain body stability. The analysis also revealed that the creature suffered from arthritis in its arms and legs, as well as damage to its spine. At the same time, the anatomical features of the humanoid still indicate that it was a female individual. But there are features that are more typical for men. In the end, scientists said that according to the results of the new analysis, this creature “is a desiccated humanoid body with a biological architecture similar to that of a human, but exhibiting numerous structural differences, as well as morphological and anatomical features.” The post “Alien” mummies from Peru: scientists believe they are not people appeared first on Anomalien.com.

Kevin Costner broke virtually all the rules with “Horizon: An American Saga.” The first of a four-part Western opus isn’t catnip to summer audiences craving "Bad Boys" and Amy Poehler’s ode to Joy. That it’s roughly three hours long would seem to be another strike against its commercial prospects. 'This isn’t a John Wayne western, but Costner’s Hayes Ellison evokes some of that plainspoken style and a reluctance to settle matters with steel. These would seem to be especially important to the film's star, who has sunk a reported $38 million of his own money into the project. Oh, and said star doesn't even appear in the first hour. None of this matters when you settle into your seat and let the film wash over you. On that all-important scale, “Horizon” is a flawed but fascinating watch, a project steeped in love for old-school Westerns. The saga acknowledges the bruised humanity of the nation’s early settlers but doesn’t downplay their dreams. Spoiler alert: It’s wise, not woke. The film’s biggest issue is undeniable. It plays out like the first installment of a prestige TV series. Some subplots seize us from the jump, while others demand more screen time before that’s even possible. And there’s too little connective tissue between the threads, at least initially. The story opens with death, a precursor to what we’ll see throughout the saga. Apache Indians don’t take kindly to white settlers encroaching on their land in the San Pedro Valley circa 1859. The chilling prologue gives way to a bravura attack sequence Costner the director stages for maximum impact. The Native American assault is relentless and worthy of a summer blockbuster. It’s also shocking given the glut of revisionist Westerns spotlighting the indigenous culture’s perspective. Heck, Costner himself unofficially jump-started that movement with 1990’s Oscar-winning “Dances with Wolves.” He shrewdly deploys a similar tactic here, letting us hear from both sides of the battle when the violence ebbs. He doesn’t overplay his hand, trusting audiences to put the pieces together. From there, we’re off to Montana and Wyoming for more stories tied to the wild West. And, finally, we meet our director/co-writer and star. He’s Hayes Ellison, a laconic soul who befriends a local prostitute (Abbey Lee) and the toddler she’s chosen to protect. We don’t know much about Hayes, but it’s clear he’s handy with a sidearm and his innate kindness has been tested over the years. More tests are heading his way. This isn’t a John Wayne Western, but Costner’s Hayes Ellison evokes some of that plainspoken style and a reluctance to settle matters with steel. There’s a whiff of “Shane” in the character, too. The weight of the past hangs on him like his drooping mustache, and his morality is neither pure nor out of reach. Through it all, we see glimpses of Horizon, a flyer promising land for those hungry enough to grab it. It’s the American dream put to paper, but as the Civil War raged, it meant something very different from what it does today. “Horizon” boasts sterling production values, sweeping vistas befitting the genre, and solid performances. When we first see Luke Wilson, it seems like a casting mistake. He may not be as quirky a choice as brother Owen would be, but he’s still not the first person who comes to mind for a sprawling Western. Wilson surprises, delivering a nuanced portrait of a leader eager to put out internal fires before a possible Native American incursion. His character oversees a very odd couple, an effete British duo (Tom Payne, Ella Hunt) who give the project a rare blast of comic relief. It isn’t always successful. As long as “Horizon” is, the first installment feels like a few sequences got left behind. One example? We watch a tender moment between Sienna Miller’s Frances, a woman who survived the earlier Apache attack, and Sam Worthington’s First Lieutenant Trent Gephart. The actors reminds us what’s at stake in both “Horizon” and the country’s unpaved future. It’s also a palate cleanser for the violence seen elsewhere. Still, there’s not enough setup to make that connection click. Far better is a sequence during which a young boy gets the chance to strike back at the Apache tribe that murdered his family. Connecting the disparate stories is John Debney’s super-sized score, a snug fit for an oater of outsized ambition. It’s hard to judge “Horizon” in full knowing three more installments await. One thing is clear after part one: We're in good hands with Costner. Few stars better understand what Westerns mean to America.

Sports cars. On the one hand they're beautiful works of automotive art that anyone can appreciate. On the other hand, they're obnoxious, ostentatious displays of wealth and entitlement. Depends on who's driving them — and how. The average luxury vehicle may be beyond the reach of most of us, but America, as they say, is a land of temporarily embarrassed millionaires. So just in case, here is my list of the sports cars to avoid. Even if you never end up using this list, at the very least you'll be able to laugh at the next jerk who cuts you off in one of these high-priced, high-powered bundles of buyer’s remorse.Maserati GranTurismo Nearly every automotive expert put the same $174,000 vehicle at the top of the list of sports cars to avoid. Meet the Maserati GranTurismo, a car that consumers should think twice about before purchasing. While the GranTurismo catches the eye of many drivers for being stylish and having a compelling performance profile, owners often have trouble with its reliability. Many have reported problems related to its engine and electrical system. When things do go wrong, the repairs are very costly, too. Cars like this aren’t meant to have a bunch of miles on them, so you can run into expensive problems if you use them for everyday driving. Lotus Evora No one is saying that the Lotus Evora (discontinued in 2021) isn’t an extraordinary machine. In fact, the last tribute model is best described as the perfectly imperfect sports car. It’s just that with a $100,000 starting price, a little less imperfection would be nice. The Evora offers an exhilarating driving experience, when it wants to — many owners have found it to be less than reliable over the long term. Plus, its interior lacks the polish and comfort features found in other sports cars at its price point. Jaguar F-Type Jaguar has long been synonymous with power, performance, and style, but the British luxury brand also has developed a reputation for frequent breakdowns. Earned or not, that reputation has followed its lineage to the F-Type. The Jaguar F-Type is a beautiful car with a powerful engine lineup, but some owners report electronic and powertrain issues, which can be costly to repair out of warranty. With a starting price of $78,000, the last thing drivers need is frequent trips to the shop — especially when several attractive Jaguar rivals are an option. Alfa Romeo 4C Alfa Romeo discontinued the 4C in 2020. While it’s still a popular sports car with plenty of loyalists, its many little issues can turn into an ordeal of death by a thousand cuts. The Alfa Romeo 4C is a pure driver’s car but requires significant sacrifices in terms of comfort and convenience: a sparse cabin and no power steering. While it’s a blast on the track, those looking for a sports car to enjoy on all occasions might prefer the Porsche Cayman, which offers thrilling performance without compromising on comfort. BMW i8 Like the Alfa Romeo 4C, the BMW i8 ceased production in 2020. Both cars also have competitors that make a more convincing case for your dollars. The BMW i8 is a plug-in hybrid that offers a glimpse into the future with its futuristic design. It's a head-turner for sure, but its performance doesn’t quite live up to its supercar looks. For the price, the Acura NSX, among others, offers better performance and a more engaging driving experience. Nissan GT-R With 565 horsepower, the Nissan GT-R has the power to match its $120,990 starting MSRP. And yet the lack of significant upgrades in recent memory means this one-time challenger to modern supercars now feels like one of the most clichéd sports cars on the road. If I were looking for more bang for my buck, I'd consider some Porsche models or even yield to a whim and go for a Corvette. Porsche Carrera GT Auto enthusiasts with big money to spend inevitably eye the Carrera GT. Make no mistake, this vehicle is a thing of beauty, but all that power and performance can be deadly. This is not your average car for your average driver. Safety features are insufficient enough to disqualify it from your short list. While having some professional driving skills will help you handle the fearsome 5.7-liter engine, it has such a tight margin for error that all but the most experienced drivers will find this car challenging.
