All the greed, fraud, centuries of racism, and deteriorated llama skulls behind Mexico’s unboxed aliens.

    I don’t know, seemed pretty wild to me. Someone legit crowdfunded a fake alien mummy and raised over $40K. Then there’s the sad fact that the mummies are actually intentionally badly mangled human mummies (most likely criminally looted from culturally significant archeological sites), and that their creator has been involved in a long list of prior hoaxes and fake “discoveries”. These guys are so brazen at least one group of UFO enthusiasts has actually banned them because they got tired of dealing with all their blatantly obvious hoax reports.

      Yeah but all of that is a lot less wild than actual aliens. If Jenna Ellis or Hugo Chavez was involved in some way, then I’d say the headline was getting closer to a justified exaggeration, but this is just con men.
