However, there is no clear distinction between genuine and manufactured items. Inside this Kunstkammer, several peculiar items are displayed, including the skeleton of a child with two heads, an eight-legged fetal lamb, Egyptian animal mummies, a meteorite fragment, Fijian cannibal cutlery, and a supposedly cursed doll.
Recently, a visitor to this “mysterious chamber” took a photograph of a mummified humanoid creature with an unusually elongated skull. The mummy is displayed on a wire stand and would have been created by the evaporation of fluids from the body, as indicated on the plaque that accompanies it.
Records suggest that this particular mummy was discovered in 1875 among the collection of curiosities belonging to one Palmer-Hudson. However, further details about its origin remain unknown.
Subsequent discussions on Reddit and other platforms where the photo was shared sparked debate about its authenticity – whether it could be a genuine mummy, possibly of extraterrestrial origin, or a fabrication.
One user argued that the mummy does not have enough historical background to be a forgery. It appears to have been discreetly stored for decades in this small Belgian museum of curiosities, without any attempt to commercialize it or perpetuate a media hoax using its existence.
Another observer noted similarities between this mummy and the popular alien mummies displayed in Peru, which were recently presented at the Mexican Congress.
Despite the different head structures, both sets of mummies share the common point of having three fingers on their hands.
- Mexican ‘alien mummies’ have 30% DNA from an ‘unknown species’
- Scientists confirm: “Mexican aliens” could be real
A different individual found a 19th century image online depicting the remains of a child with an unusually elongated skull, drawing comparisons to the Belgian mummy. The similarity is striking, except for the presence of three fingers on the hands, which differs from the image portrayed.
There is no direct information from the zoo about the creature.
