GIANT HANDS |
On this page:
- The giant hands are pieced together with random human bones
- They have non-functional wrists
Hybrids?
These tridactyl hands are some of grave robber Mario’s first finds in late 2016, which may explain why they are so ridiculously crude. They are 35-40cm long with a varying number of bones, and fingers with 5 or a whopping 6 phalanges. The hand that was C-14 dated is 1000-1200 years old, and DNA results show 20 to 100% human (depending on the lab). A metal ring in one hand was found to be 78% iron, and one of the metal disks on the wrist is 60% gold, 30% silver, 10% copper.
What you will not find on The Alien Project website, besides this objective data, are detailed x-rays of the hands. However, Russian scientists at Antropogenez were sent x-rays of several hands by Konstantin Korotkov (who wanted them authenticated), and worked with Scientists Against Myths to expose them as fakes - the x-rays show they are very obviously pieced together from various human bones.
The wrists of these hands bear no resemblance to anything functional. They are composed of long thin bones with varying degrees of randomness in the arrangement. When the owners of these giant hands fall over and slam their hands down to break the fall, those spindly bones are going to shatter faster than your dreams of finding aliens in Nazca. Human wrists consist of 8 pebble-like bones to form a strong, highly mobile joint.
These are obvious fakes and the only reason The Alien Project shamelessly retains them on their website is because they don't include the x-rays that show they're fakes. How's that for transparency?
Let's take a quick look, because a quick look is all these silly things are worth. (Images modified from Scientists Against Myths.)

Giant hand #1 has mixed up finger bones, a foot bone, and a (baby) ulna in the wrist which is a random mash-up of crooked bones.
Giant hand #2 - the wrist includes an upside-down (baby) tibia, and a mix of phalanges and metacarpals, some of which are articulated with... nothing.
Giant hand #3 is a combination of random toe and finger bones.

Giant hand #3 wrist is made from baby long bones... and a vertebra for good luck. What bones, exactly, are those five wrist bones supposed to articulate with? Did the giants have FIVE forearm bones?

Evolution of the giant hand! The artist is improving. The number of bones varies between 24 to 31, although The Alien Project says the hands have 26 bones. The only x-ray on their website is the third one shown here, which has 24 bones.
While it's possible an alien species with five forearm bones, and giant hands containing a variable numbers of bones between individuals, lived on Earth 1000 years ago, the mundane explanation that these are pieced together from random human and baby bones can't be ruled out.
