Background
On March 8, 2015, TheBlackVault released a case file entry documenting and debunking a widespread internet hoax claiming the discovery of an alien mummy in an Egyptian pyramid. The article references an original report from September 28, 2012, by the Global Illumination Council, which alleged that a 150-160 cm tall humanoid body had been found near Lahun. TheBlackVault's investigation identified the claim as fraudulent by presenting the source photograph before digital alteration. The case file notes that the story included fabricated details about an anonymous Egyptian Antiquities Department source and inscriptions referring to 'Osirunet'. No Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents accompanied this case file, as it served purely as a public debunking of misinformation.
