The anatomy portion was spoken in a personal capacity by Dr. Jose Salce Benitez who had 30 years in the Mexican Navy, currently the director of the Navy's Scientific Health Institute and was at one point the director of the Navy's Medical Forensic Service.
In summary, "the bodies are a non-human species presenting irrefutable differences to written biology/ taxonomy of the evolutionary tree with 0 common ancestors or descendants."
- Bodies covered in a diatomic white powder that granted desiccation for extreme natural preservation, was carbon14 dated to: very old (around 1000 years)
- Unique DNA not matching over a million existing sequences. 70% similar to known DNA, 30% unknown.
- Tridactyl (3 fingers 3 toes) no carpals or tarsals with fingers going straight to arm bones. They cannot grip thumb-wise and as such have to wrap their fingers around objects
- Circular, complete and continuous ribs, having around 14
- Deep/concave cervical spine (neckbones) with other features hinting that the head is retractable similar to turtles
- Strong but very light bone structure (?)
- Pneumatized (air/gas formed) cranial cavity, making a large space for oversized brain matter
- Orthopedic implants perfectly fused with skin and bone, composed of what we consider metals for spacing structures and equipment such as cadmium & osmium
- Ocular orbits very broad granting wide field of vision
- A jaw joint, but no teeth.
- Spine connects to the center of cranial floor, a rarity that does not occur in primates who have a rear position
- Intact oviducts (fallopian tubes) containing eggs, he alleges this is impossible to falsify
- Very broad range of motion in their shoulder joints
- Specimen have intact fingerprints, that are linear and horizontal as opposed to a human's circular prints
I guess we'll see what happens from here.
Diatomaceous earth is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. Their skeletons are made of a natural substance called silica. Over a long period of time, diatoms accumulated in the sediment of rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans. Today, silica deposits are mined from these areas.
Silica is very common in nature and makes up 26% of the earth's crust by weight. Various forms of silica include sand, emerald, quartz, feldspar, mica, clay, asbestos, and glass. Silicon, a component of silica, does not exist naturally in its pure form. It usually reacts with oxygen and water to form silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide has two naturally occurring forms: crystalline and amorphous. Most diatomaceous earth is made of amorphous silicon dioxide. However, it can contain very low levels of crystalline silicon dioxide. The first pesticide products containing silicon dioxide (diatomaceous earth) were registered in 1960 to kill insects and mites.
