Mankind loves thinking about other living creatures on other planets, or even living away from our communities. From our visualizations of dwarves, elves, tabaxi, and more in fiction, we’ve always wondered the possibility of whether or not we’re the only species living on Earth.
In an interesting turn of events, it’s not a group of scientists sharing a photo of what looks to be an elf. It’s the president of Mexico. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador posted a photo of what looks like an elf on his social media. He didn’t seem to be joking in the caption of the photo too. According to him, this was a sighting of an “aluxe,” a woodland spirit in Mayan folklore. “[the photo] was taken three days ago by an engineer, it appears to be an aluxe,” he wrote. “Everything is mystical.”
The political figure is known for having a deep respect for indigenous cultures and beliefs. Do you think this is an actual aluxe, or is it just a trick of the light?
