An odd fetus mummy has been found in Colombia. A veteran public reporter thinks that the mummy could be a tiny humanoid from a prehistoric species or even an alien.
Odd Fetus Mummy
According to the reporter, the fetus mummy has slanted eyes, an elongated skull, and an unusual amount of ribs. The reporter notes that the body appeared to have 10 ribs on each body side, which is atypical compared to the 12 ribs of humans.
Photos of the deceased were shared to the reporter, whose name is Josep Guijarro, by an anonymous source through WhatsApp. Guijarro notes that the mummy could have come from the Hill of the Dwarves (el cerro de los enanos) across remote Colombia.
Umbilical cord signs, which are usually observed in terrestrial mammals, have boosted speculation regarding the possible relation of the mummy to the remains of the alleged tiny humanoid dwelling in caves. These remains were found in Peru.
The source claimed that the remains were discovered in Colombia. However, Guijarro expresses in a post in X that due to the insufficiency of verifiable data, Guijarro cannot know for sure.
The veteran reporter also notes that he personally opted to stay agnostic regarding the mummy's possible alien origins, with the mammal-like umbilical cord and fetal size being taken into account.

Likened to Mysterious Ata Mummy
Nevertheless, the radio veteran did suggest possible connections between the specimen and the "Ata," which is a six-inch and infamous aline-like course retrieved in 2003 in Chile. However, the caution with the reporter's own tentative ideas has not hampered social media spectators from being more definitive in weighing in on the new alien mummy mystery.
Last fall, Ramon Navia-Osorio Villar, a UFO hunter and Barcelona-based entrepreneur who bought Ata from a treasure hunter, stunned the audience of Spanish television with the notion that the remains could be evidence of a legendary tiny humanoid race.
Navia-Osorio explained that these were small cave-dwelling individuals that only went out at night. This explains its odd and almond-shaped eyes. Guijarro expressed being open to the notion of Navia-Osorio that the remains could be part of this tiny ancient race.
Normal Fetal Skeleton
However, professor Sian Halcrow, a biological anthropologist from the University of Otago, explains that the Ata mummy matches the profile of a human fetal skeleton that is ordinary and perfectly normal. She notes that any theories that contrast it are not based on scientific proof or knowledge pertaining to babies' normal anatomical development.
In 2018, Halcrow and a team of archaeologists and anatomical experts released a study that criticized believers and skeptics of Ata aliens. Halcrow noted that they estimated the femur length and that they gauged that the fetus could have been roughly 15 weeks in in-utero gestation. Based on the assessment of the team, the skeleton was that of a premature infant who passed away less than four months into the gestational period.
The team discovered new evidence that contradicted the deformities and mutations that other skeptical researchers claimed. The latter had been looking for terrestrial ways to explain the unique features of the mummy.
However, according to the analysis of Halcrow, there were no present deformities or mutations. What was present was the expected wear and decay that would happen to a still-born and tiny fetus as it dried to the extent of entire desiccation in the Atacama Desert's high altitude.
