Sigh, it's stupid crap like this that just muddies the water even more.
I get that looking at anatomy is beyond most peoples expertise, so I don't expect most to take this seriously, but i'm not sure a team of seemingly highly respected American medical professionals would have any interest at all in flying out to study them (unpaid) if this was the case?

Without proper investigation, it will remain stupid crap that muddies the water.My take from the articles posted was that journalists and scientists (seemingly of some standing) are both pushing for them to be fully investigated:

During all this time, none of them have specified they believe these bodies are from a distant planet or extraterrestrial in nature. All they have been trying to do is give the alleged Nazca Mummies a proper chance of being investigated.
The bits and pieces posted on the other site look interesting (although the original items look like a sixth form art project someone I know did 
):
but I imagine that carbon dating would help confirm actual age of the objects and DNA analysis might yield some interesting results if they are not elaborate fakes.

Scientifically speaking, why do you think this is “stupid crap”?
Because they will turn out to be fake. And what is the answer to the question above based on?
I don't get the negativity towards this story.
If they're real... How cool and scary to not be alone in the universe.
If they're a fake... I've wasted 30 seconds reading about them. No big loss.

This is a brilliant, objective summary of why they are more likely real than not. It covers the common debunking arguments.
(it gets interesting from about 30 mins onwards).

Ah, gotcha, what mathematicians call “proof by assumption.” Personally I prefer the scientific method, but I get that pre-Copernican approaches still have their devotees.
Hardly pre-Copernican considering the following.1. Every single one of these previous so called finds has proven to be a hoax.
2. It seems very suspicious timing that someone has dug up "aliens" just as UFO fever is at it's highest it's been for decades.
3. The person who discovered the "aliens" has previous form for discovering aliens which later turned out to be fake.
Also since you mentioned it, the scientific method also dictates careful observation coupled with rigorous scepticism because cognitive functions can distort interpretation. That last part sounds a lot like what often happens in this thread. People interpret things the way they want because they want them to be true.
I'm an avid sci-fi reader and would love for us to find real aliens so I should be pre-disposed to lap this stuff up, however I'm also detached and sceptical enough to realise that is very very unlikely to actually happen.
