Hundreds of elongated skulls found in Perù

3 years ago by ThǝLobotoʍi$T to c/bewowed

One of the hundreds of elongated skulls that were discovered in 1928 at Paracas Peninsula in Peru. Cranial deformation was practiced by the Paracas civilization (800-100 BCE) by tightly wrapping the head in cloth, during the first few years of life, in order to elongate the cranium

You get your baby's Head elongated for free if you let advertisers write on them.

But what was the reason they did this? Did they think it looked good?

Talking out my ass here so please research and verify, but at least for the woman with elongated necks, it was originally to make them unattractive to men of other tribes. Over time, this turned into a specific beauty standard for their own tribe.

Probably makes them uncomfortable, too, especially the neck muscles.

There's a fringe "researcher" (lost ancient civilizations type) called Brien Forester that claims some of these are natural based on their foramen magnum (big hole where spinal cord goes) sitting in a different place. He says you can't influence that through artificial means.
