Description:
The episode looks at the largest collection of tridactyl specimens found near the Nazca Lines in southern Peru, including two new bodies given to doctors and forensic experts from three countries, and a large head from the same finds.
The narrator says San Luis Gonzaga University in Ica, under rector Dante Calderón, has taken custody of the bodies known as the Nazca mummies. With Jaime Maussan, the team pressed the custodians to hand them over so researchers could separate authentic remains from ritual dolls, and they met Peru's Ministry of Culture.
