The deserted Peninsula of Paracas is located on the southern coast of one of the most enigmatic countries in South America: Peru.

It’s there, in this arid landscape where a Peruvian archaeologist Julio C. Tello made one of the most mysterious discoveries in 1928. During excavations, Tello discovered a complex and sophisticated cemetery in the rough soil of the Paracas desert.

In the enigmatic graves, Tello uncovered a series of controversial human remains that would forever change how we look at our ancestors and our origins. The bodies in the graves had some of the largest elongated skulls ever discovered on the planet, called the Paracas skulls. The Peruvian archaeologist discovered more than 300 mysterious skulls believed to be at least 3000 years old antiquity.

As if the shape of the skulls wasn’t mysterious enough, a recent DNA analysis performed on some of the skull presents some of the most enigmatic and incredible results that challenge everything we know about the origin and evolutionary human tree.
