How the Mexican 'alien mummy' was accidentally debunked by carbon dating

LLAMA LLAMA SCHMUCK: Last month, two alleged 'alien corpses' were presented before the Congress of Mexico. According to UFOlogist Jaime Maussan, they're the mummies of ~1,000 year old extra-terrestrial beings. In this episode, Justin explains why that's... unlikely. Tangents include: Colin Firth, carbon dating, llamas & the Great British Bake Off. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY: Mates in Space is made on Kaurna Country, never ceded.
