The Atacama Desert, 2003. Near an abandoned church in the ghost town of La Noria, a man called Oscar Muñoz found the remains of what is considered to be the strangest humanoid on Earth.
The tiny desiccated body measures only six inches (15 centimeters) and has a number of unique features that have mystified the scientific world.
Completely unaware of the importance of his discovery, Muñoz sold the mummified body to a pub owner for the hefty sum of 30,000 pesos, the equivalent of US $50. The pub owner sold it for presumably more than that and the tiny body gained worldwide notoriety and the nickname Ata.
It was thought to be very old but thorough dating showed it had lived and died somewhere within the last hundred years.
