Finally, the mystery of the "space mummy" is revealed in the Atacama Desert

When a treasure hunter found a small mummified body in the Atacama Desert in Chile 15 years ago, many thought it was a space object because of its strange shape. But genetic DNA analyzes say they were wrong.

Geneticists from Stanford University in the United States have uncovered genetic analyzes of the DNA of the strange body found in 2003 in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Genetic analysis has shown that it belongs to a child with a range of mutations, according to the Genome Research website.

The scientists explained this abnormal condition of violating the work of human genes, and scientists added that the child may be aborted early in life or was born late and died immediately after birth.

The mummy, nicknamed "Ata", was found in 2003 in the Chilean village of La Noria. The scientists were stunned at a height of only 15 centimeters and with bones resembling the bones of a six-year-old boy. In addition, he had only 10 pairs of ribs instead of 12, and the skull was not similar to the human because of its shape. These indicators led to the belief that a space object.
