You decide.. Alien or just a fake something

This is a very well done fake.... Notice not only the head but the hair on the back, possible tail, strange feet and arms. Almost looks like a combination of goat, human.

The next video is of an alleged reptilian creature. Notice the skull is quite different and the top of the head has a green like skin coating. The hands appear webbed. Stop the video when it does a close up of the head.

Just looks like a human mummy to me.

Looks like run of the mill religious propaganda to me. Judging by some of the replies on You Tube, it looks like a legend of a girl who did something naughty and this is god's way of punishing her. Maybe I'm being narrow minded, but this kind of nonsense is quite common in all religions, especially islam. Kaboom!

The first video is just a picture of sculpture. A very realistic, and creepy sculpture, but a sculpture nonetheless. Take a look at this video, it'll make it pretty clear that it is a sculpture.



The second one, I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing anything particularly unusual about it. It's a mummified corpse. I don't see anything reptilian about it, but maybe I'm missing something.

Looks like some sculpture from the same artist that did this:

Hi

Video # 1: Sculpture

Patricia Piccinini is an Australian artist. She was born in 1965 in Freetown, Sierra Leone and emigrated to Australia in 1972 with her family. She studied economic history before enrolling at art school in Melbourne. Her mixed media works include the series Truck Babies, and the installation We are Family which was chosen to represent Australia at the 2003 Venice Biennale. Piccinini works with a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, video, sound, installation and digital prints. Her major artworks often reflect her interests in world issues such as bioethics, biotechnologies and the environment. Her work has gained extensive international recognition.

Piccinini likes to explore what she calls the 'often specious distinctions between the artificial and the natural'. She challenges our classification of life by displaying the relationship and differences between the organic, natural and our constructed material world. This inspires her to combine human physiology and technological development.

While Piccinini is often compared to Ron Mueck, it is not widely known that she does not create her sculptures. Sam Jinks is the artist responsible, who has since exhibited his own works

Video # 2: Mummy in the British museum

Room 64 (Early Egypt) contains one of the most famous mummies ever discovered and another rare and very interesting example of what happened when the early Egyptians began to experiment with mummymaking:

Ginger, the naturally-preserved, pre-dynastic mummy. His well-known photograph is often included in books about Egyptian mummies. He (named for his red hair) is surrounded by burial goods, including the tools he worked with during his life, as well as pottery vessels that were once filled with food to accompany him to this afterlife.


a 1st Dynasty basket coffin (with skeleton) is the rare example of how the Egyptians made mistakes at the beginning of artificial mummification. The basket would have trapped the moisture inside, and the body rotted. This is one of the few examples known to exist.
