The practice was also known among the Australian Aborigines and the Lucayan people of the Bahamas. Other tribes, however, including the Choctaw, Chehalis, and Nooksack Indians, did practise head flattening by strapping the infant's head to a cradleboard. The Native American group known as the Flathead Indians, in fact, did not practise head flattening, but were named as such in contrast to other Salishan people who used skull modification to make the head appear rounder. In North America the practice was known, especially among the Chinookan tribes of the Northwest and the Choctaw of the Southeast. In the Americas, the Maya, Inca, and certain tribes of North American natives performed the custom. In western Germanic tribes, artificial skull deformations rarely have been found… but still, they have. In Late Antiquity (AD 300-600), the East Germanic tribes who were ruled by the Huns, the Gepids, Ostrogoths, Heruli, Rugii, and Burgundians adopted this custom. To give you some examples of how widespread and varied deformed and elongated skulls appear to be. According to Pye, the skull was found around 1930 in a mine tunnel about 100 miles (160 km) southwest of Chihuahua, Mexico, buried alongside a normal human skeleton that was exposed and lying supine on the surface of the tunnel.īelow are some quotes, pictures, videos and articles, from other sources online. Paranormalist Lloyd Pye claimed to have obtained the skull from Ray and Melanie Young of El Paso, Texas, in February 1999.
Another common one is known as the Star-Child from Mexico. It is rumoured, that many of these skulls and skeletons were found at the Vatican, during an excavation of the basement in the Library. Then there is a third style of skull which appears to be more rounded in shape, with large eye sockets. Was there a common denominator or was it merely coincidence? Was this done merely for looks or did they believe they might gain something more, perhaps a greater intelligence, spirituality or even psychic abilities. It must have been an extremely important reason and belief that drove all these civilisations to perform this. Was this purely coincidence? Did all these civilisations and cultures perhaps try to recreate in themselves what they had seen in the past? Was there once a separate race of beings living here on Earth with naturally formed elongated skulls? Were all these civilisations merely trying to mimic a once prior-man, alien race or fallen angel that walked among us? One would have to be very dedicated to put one's own child through such a dramatic procedure. Why have so many civilisations from around the world, who had been reported to have little to no contact with each other, practised this strange ritual. Intentional deformation of human skulls has always been an interesting topic. When they measure the volume of these adult skulls, they have typically lost a small percentage of brain volume or are around the same size as modern humans today. While the child’s skull is still soft and the plates have not fused, the skull is slowly squashed into the elongated shape. These are generally done by placing a board on the front of a baby’s skull and wrapping straps around the head. Other skulls are clearly your average humans, who have had their skulls artificially deformed to take on an elongated appearance. These skulls also have a much larger jaw, but with fewer molar teeth than average humans from today and the past. They have only 2 skull plates compared to all humans, who have 3. They have a larger cranial volume and do not have the obvious flattened area where they were forced into shape. The Paracas skulls appear to be unlike any human, primate or animal we know of today. These predominantly red haired enigmas have been dated back to around 3000yrs ago. Many have been found in Peru, especially near the Nazca Lines and the Paracas peninsula. The answers are few.Įlongated and deformed skulls have been found in many places around this planet. Some believe these skulls are fallen angels or on the other end of the scale, it has been said they are demons. Maybe some of these skulls are just misidentified, deformed humans, caused by malnutrition or disease.
What are your thoughts on elongated Skulls?Īre they alien in origin, a prior unknown human like recently discovered Denisovan man, perhaps a hybrid mix of alien and humans? Could they be a mongoloid species from hollow Earth or is the Star-Child skull really a Sasquatch/Bigfoot child skull.
