The perforated skull (pictured) was discovered as part of a mummified body of a woman in the 'Little River' Xiaohe tomb complex. Experts said that the hole, measuring around 2 inches (50mm) in diameter, was most likely an early form of craniotomy - a procedure that involves removing bone to get access to the brain

Did the mummy make this suggestion verbally, or by fax?

Brain “surgery” seems like a stretch. More likely she was crazy, and the local medicine man drilled a hole in her head to let the demons out.

Looking at the location of that hole, the “brain surgeon” would probably have bagged the superior sagittal sinus, leading to copious bleeding. Doubt that this patient survived.

Transgender surgery. It was originally a Chinese daddy.

Those Chinese mummies are SO inscrutable! Just say it and quit “suggesting!”

A 2 inch hole in the skull would have cured any ailment known to man at the time.....

Same sort of archeological evidence has been found around Stonehenge, Egypt, and in the Andes.
For whatever reason, the ancients knew enough to perform surgical operations on the skulls and the patients survived long enough for the bone to heal.
I’m guessing they were helped/taught by Alien Physicians Without Borders.

Is unsuccessful brain surgery really brain surgery, or is it just rooting around inside someone’s skull?
