Unearthing Nazca

In this special report, join Gaia filmmakers near Nazca, Peru to investigate a new discovery. Initial examinations suggest the possibility of material that is unlike anything found in the fossil record.

In this episode of Unearthing Nasca, Gaia filmmakers joined researchers and scientists in a remote location outside of Nazca, Peru to investigate an unearthed mummified body.

In this episode of Unearthing Nazca, the initial results start to come in, experts analyze the data and begin formulating their scientific opinions.

In this update of Unearthing Nazca, confirmation of carbon dating from a second independent test on the body named Maria have come in. The team has gotten reports of smaller bodies being discovered in the same tomb.

In Update 4 we share more results and take a look at two more bodies that have come from the tomb bearing resemblances to Maria and Victoria.

On July 17, 2017, Jaime Maussan led a press conference to reveal, to the world, the mummies unearthed near Nazca, Peru.

The team reconvenes in Peru to begin analysis of a new body, one that is much smaller, but appears to be of the same species as Maria. They call this one Wawita, because it appears to be a baby.

In this next update of Unearthing Nazca, the next phase of DNA sequencing suggests Maria's genetic makeup is unlike anything in our known fossil record.
