Paul Seaburn of Mysterious Universe reports that a Peruvian university has decided, against academic opposition, to investigate the mummies.

Academic opinion is that these mummies are hoaxes manufactured from genuine human remains, and promoted by one Jaime Maussan, who has been associated with other alien hoaxes:

As reported (rather credulously) by Mysterious Universe, the Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga in Peru - and in particular its Vice-Rector of Research - is continuing to promote these mummies, holding something described as an international research congress with presentations by people who believe they are genuine:
