TRIDACTYLS Season 1
Directed by eyewitnesses to the events, TRIDACTYLS tells, in six 52-minute episodes, the story of this astonishing discovery with far-reaching implications. Fans of Indiana Jones and The X-Files won’t be disappointed. Except that here, the events depicted are 100% real.
This unsettling film raises real questions and challenges the viewer. What if it were true? Thierry Jamin and his colleagues at the Inkarri Cusco Institute are at the heart of the story…
TRIDACTYLS is the true story of the Nasca Mummies,
as experienced firsthand by those involved in the case.
In October 2016, Thierry Jamin, a French researcher and explorer, was contacted by grave robbers, or huaqueros, from the southern coast of Peru. They told him about strange mummified remains they claimed to have discovered in a secret location in the Nazca Desert. Then they tell him a tall tale!
Strange humanoid mummies, with elongated heads and three-fingered hands, are set to make headlines and shake up the not-so-quiet world of Peruvian archaeology and global ufology.
To some, “TRIDACTYLS” is the “Roswell incident” of modern archaeology, while to others, it is nothing more than a clever hoax orchestrated by traffickers of pre-Columbian artifacts—or by Thierry Jamin himself!
Six 52-minute episodes written by Thierry Jamin and directed by Alain Bonnet
