Q&A
DDS.. A dentist? I'm just curious if that's really what he is. A Doctor of Dentistry Science with a masters of science? No haters please, it's a real question
Can only assume, but forensic dentistry is definitely a thing. Analyzing dental records can provide a lot of information (idk how exactly, but I know it to be true - I watch forensic files) about the fossil / body etc. also, it’s not uncommon for people with medical doctorates to get masters degrees after undergrad / before taking the MCAT (at least in the US).
Good answer. I appreciate the feedback. I know dental records can tell someone quite a bit, but am curious still about this situation. Take care and let's see what else comes about
He’s also an expert in radiology and has some other qualifications.
Listen to this week's episode of Behind the Bastards podcast. It talks about this field SPECIFICALLY.
The OP is some deceptive wordplay. Dr. McDowell is being vague here and hedging his bets. His analysis clearly didn't convince him that this is a new species or extraterrestrial; all he's saying is that some are clearly not human, which skeptics have acknowledged since they're likely legitimate mummies that have been reconfigured by looters, animal and human parts combined, or, like the "insectoids", outright fabrications. Per Dr. McDowell, "independent forensic scientists should be allowed to thoroughly evaluate these specimens. By doing so, any existing disputes can potentially be resolved to everyone's satisfaction."
So no, he's not yet convinced. And, "Due to time constraints during our initial examination, physical evaluation of the few specimens we examined was limited in scope. ...additional evaluations be performed that are consistent with the highest forensic standards."
Limited in scope indeed. Dr. McDowell's attorney son acknowledged the investigators only had a total of seven hours to examine the remains. That's ridiculous.
And regarding the extent of analyses done here, Dr. McDowell says, "...techniques used in the future could include carbon dating, DNA analysis, various imaging modalities that allow in-depth examination of superficial and deep anatomical structures, direct examination of contaminant-free samples, and any other appropriate techniques that may help to determine the biological nature and character of the specimens."
This is basic stuff. Why none of this was already done is beyond me. Carbon dating? DNA analysis? Various imaging modalities? Weren't many of these allegedly performed under Maussan's team? If so, then Dr. McDowell clearly doesn't think those results were adequate; if they weren't implemented already, well, why not?
And finally, if Dr. McDowell is convinced these are, per the OP, "real" and not hoaxes, then why end with, "Working together will certainly allow us to determine whether any of these entities are unique and valuable archaeological discoveries or whether they are elaborate hoaxes."
Dr. McDowell is being very careful here. And he has an attorney son who knows how to word things so neither son nor father have to commit to any actual stance since these will be revealed as hoaxes eventually.
Both of those possibilities have been ruled out for a long time.
They have not been ruled out yet. How could they when they apparently haven't run "carbon dating, DNA analysis, various imaging modalities that allow in-depth examination of superficial and deep anatomical structures, direct examination of contaminant-free samples, and any other appropriate techniques that may help to determine the biological nature and character of the specimens"? I truly hope I'm wrong and this is the greatest scientific discovery in human history. I truly do. But I think believers are going to be disappointed.
All of those things have been done.
So Dr. McDowell is mistaken? Lying?
There's another interview with him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOXaWvEmm3Q . Apparently, he doesn't think that the carbon dating and DNA analysis that have been done ( https://www.the-alien-project.com/en/mummies-of-nasca-results/ ) are very good and he wants to have it done to a more exacting standard.
"The specimens are real... some are clearly not human" – former president of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, Dr. John D. McDowell.
In an open letter to Peruvian authorities, the highly respected Dr. McDowell requested the Peruvian authorities' attention to the need to scientifically evaluate the specimens.
Owner of a highly respected and worthy resume that would make anyone envious, in 2024, John D. McDowell, DDS, MS, received the recognition of the Gradwohl Medal. The Gradwohl Medal aims to honor those who have made exceptional contributions and is the AAFS's highest honor and the premier peer recognition in forensic science. The Gradwohl Medal is awarded only to persons who have achieved exceptional distinction in the advancement of forensic science, who have rendered exceptional service to the AAFS over a long period of time, and who have achieved exceptional recognition in public office through service to the profession of forensic science.
So has he examined them yet or not
so were they aliens or ground sloth???
At first I wasn't really giving this topic the light of day but one thing I noticed is that the threads on this subject are always filled with miseading and untruthful comments from debunkers saying stuff like "I watched the video so you don't have to" then continue to give a completely fabricated report of the video with the intent to discourage anyone from watching it. They do the same with news articles and misrepresent what was stated in the article. The other places I see this tactic are the chemtrail and vaccine threads....why are they spending so much time in here? I'm a lot more open to these being real than I was before all this obvious dishonest shilling took place.
But Flint Dibble says they don’t look like mummies to him and that nature is weird sometimes, so checkmate.
we have also had our own astronauts say they have seen things in space but there ignored.
