| Elongated Skulls |
I’ve made attempts to write a different story of early earth, one of which is noted above, a story of ancient Sumer. As a result, I’ve been reviewing ancient civilizations, folklore, and religion. What I’ve learned is through archeological technological advances, old digs become new; little known peoples with shallow histories become complex.
Machu Picchu, Peru
Take for instance the Paracas Skulls. They come from Peru where so many unexplained structures still stand; where strange peoples resided then disappeared. Scientists have found evidence of man not linked to our species buried in the Pisco Province of the old Inca realm.
Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals of meeting along the route to the Pacific Northwest native groups who pressed boards against the heads of young children. They left the boards there until their heads were elongated. This deformity was apparently appealing to the eye. They were called Flat Heads.
Other civilizations around the world decorated their bodies with ink, or extended their lips with flat insertions. I should think this distortion would make it difficult to eat or drink. Some cultures allowed their aristocrats to grow long fingernails, forming them into spirals and decorated with jewels. Once their nails were in this position, they were incapable of doing the slightest task and had to be helped by another. From childhood, others stretched their necks from clavicle to chin with metal rings. Once done and their growing stopped, if removed, their necks would not support their heads.
How did cultures come about with these ideas? What caused them to think these deformities had worth?
Well, let us look at the Paracas find...
Skeletons have been discovered in South America whose heads were elongated, but not purposefully done. Their heads were this way by natural design. Does this mean somewhere along our ancient, shadowed history, our ancestors came upon people with naturally elongated skulls?
The Paracas burial site was large graveyard discovered in 1928 and filled with approximately 300 skeletons, all with deformed skulls. Peruvian archaeologist, Julio Tello, believes these remains have been buried about 3,000 years. The craniums excavated are 25-60% heavier than the ones you and I possess. They also contain one parietal plate as opposed to our two, another reason that suggests these skulls come from an unknown source.
Mr Juan Navarro, the owner and director of Paracas History Museum that houses several of these remains. In the past, he allowed samples of the skeletons to be DNA tested. “...samples consisted of hair, including roots, a tooth, skull bone and skin... documented via photos and video.”
The geneticist who received these samples had no idea what he had prior to his testing. Brien Foerster who authored several books on people of South America revealed the data from this DNA testing.
Unless data comes forth from other sources as a comparison, DNA tests show the specimens are completely separate from any evolutionary species on our earth. If there is an association with humanoids, then it happened centuries ago.
What will happen when more of our world is exposed due to melting ice sheets? What else will we learn of our earth and its “far far away” distant past?
Of course, there’s a plethora of nay-sayers. They are all over the internet, like this one. But what if they are wrong?
I contend over the centuries we have lost valuable information that would explain so many mysteries. What of the Library of Alexandria that was purposefully destroyed over a period of years, the first attempt by the Julius Caesar. They say the loss of ancient information is incalculable.
We think none of the above will happen now, that all our collected data is safe. Wars couldn’t obliterate it, fires or earthquakes. More and more information is being electronically accumulated and stored.
Who reads paper books these days? Who goes to a bank? We can retrieve reading material, money and data from outside sources that go directly to our smartphones, our computers. We have backups, and backups on top of that. Somewhere there would be a record.
But what if our earth was struck by a strong electromagnetic pulse that wiped out our electronic data? This sort of energy could destroy all our stored records, the information that shows who we are.
If anything of us remained, later
peoples would consider our culture primitive. An unfair assessment, but without data of our civilization, what else could they think?

ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome. :D
DeleteEnjoy lost history and archaeology. Good questions as to what has been lost and what might still be found. Thanks for the post.
