SUPPOSED E.T. ANCIENT SCULPTURE DISCOVERED IN ACAPULCO WAS ANYTHING BUT
It’s entirely possible you were exposed to the clickbait that was the story of how utility workers were excavating in Mozimba, Acapulco, when they stumbled upon something out of the ordinary. Or so they, and some of us, thought. While digging, they found what looked like the archeological find of the century, or even any century. It was a very strange looking sculpture fo what looked a whole lot like a lot of our imagination’s version of an extraterrestrial, or an E.T. But this ancient sculpture, much to the Kool-Aid swilling masses dismay, wasn’t really all that. Specifically, it’s something so ordinary it would make elevator music enthralling.

EVEN ARCHEOLOGISTS GOT EXCITED OVER HOW ANCIENT SCULPTURE PROVES ALIENS EXIST
But for a bit of time, folks who have a lot of interest in archeological discoveries made quite the field of hay about how this ancient sculpture didn’t resemble any other kind of pre-Hispanic iconography. And that logical exclusion then turned into the viral idea that this was an icon of some sort of E.T. Even the National Institute of Anthropology and History got a little excited about the strange find. But alas, the critical archeological take on the statue made bales of hay out of common lawn grass. Because that elevator music I can practically hear sounds really interesting in comparison.

BUT ANCIENT SCULPTURE IS A CONTEMPORARY WORK, MADE IN MEXICO FOR TOURISTS
So what the hell is this thing that had a bunch of lay as well as educated folks get their imaginative garters in a twist over? Far from being an ancient statue of an E.T., this thing was (and remains) likely one of a very current series of mass-produced sculptures that look like what we think an alien should look like. And these are popularly made in western Mexico… So how the hell did this thing get to where utility workers could find it and create all this ruckus? It was probably in a home destroyed by Hurricane Otis last year and got washed into a drainage channel. Full stop.
Man, I really miss the good old(?) days when stories that belonged in the National Enquirer stayed in the National Enquirer.
