"It looks like a f*cking alien" - Joe Rogan shares astounding theory on tridactyl Nazca mummies a month after research scientist's tragic death

Joe Rogan has put forth an astounding theory on the polarizing case of the alleged alien mummies. Rogan's breakdown comes around a month after the tragic passing of a scientist researching the case.

In 2024, a New York Post report addressed the three-fingered humanoid alien mummies investigated in Peru in 2023. Speaking to the Daily Mail, American attorney Joshua McDowell, who'd claimed to have investigated the humanoids with an independent forensic team, asserted that the humanoids' fingerprints were "straight" unlike those of humans.

The Post alluded that Mexican journalist, Jose Jaime Maussan, presented some alleged mummified alien remains in front of Mexico's Congress back in 2023.

Moreover, Dr. Edgar Hernandez published two research papers on the tridactyls, including the alleged alien mummy 'Maria.' The scientist reportedly passed away in a car accident in Huaytara, Huancavelica, Peru, in Dec. 2024.

On the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) podcast's episode #2262 this month (January 2025), Joe Rogan discussed alien lifeforms and anatomy with Dr. Mark Gordon, a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) treatment and neurogenerative medicine expert.

Reuters recently reported that a press conference was held in Lima, Peru. Therein, experts suggested that the much-discussed humanoid remains, supposedly from Peru's Nazca region and of entities that were tridactyls (with three fingers), were humanoid dolls made by sticking together human and animal remains.

Joe Rogan cited the 2024 New York Post report and alluded to the inbuilt three-finger structure, non-human fingerprint pattern (straight lines not spirals), and the indications that the humanoid referred to as 'Maria' might indeed be an extraterrestrial:

"They had a cranial capacity that is larger than most human beings ... It looks like a f*cking alien. But is that real? ... Look at that picture, what it actually looks like. That's f*cking crazy. That [Maria] does look like an alien."

Rogan emphasized how eerily similar it was to the archetype of the 'Greys' aka 'Grey aliens,' an oft-utilized alien representation in pop culture. It entails that an alien/ET is generally a grey-colored entity with a small hairless body, enlarged head, and large peculiar black eyes:

"What is that? If it's got three fingers and three toes, and it's got an alien face -- it looks like a 'Grey' [Grey alien]. It has a tiny slot for a mouth and tiny dots for a nose. It looks like the archetypal angel, or the archetypal alien rather, that people see in the [movie] 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.' There was another movie ..."

Joe Rogan's lighthearted jibe over the U.S. government's alleged concealment of aliens and ET technologies

Certain sections of the socio-political realm speculated whether Hernandez was assassinated by a government agency or another interested party. Many ufologists and ET/alien lifeform enthusiasts have often accused the U.S. government as well as other countries' governments of concealing alien remains and technologies from the general populace.

Back in Feb. 2023, the American government shot down a few objects that some believed were Chinese spy balloons. The government had implied that the objects weren't ETs/ET-related technology. Nevertheless, Joe Rogan took to Instagram and jestingly reaffirmed his stance that the government was probably concealing alien-related knowledge. He wrote:

"Now all of a sudden I think it actually is aliens. #lookintoit"
