The results are just as controversial – the skulls tested, which date back as far as 2,000 years, were shown to have European and Middle Eastern Origin.

Yes, but does it really explain my innate desire for Chicken and Waffles?

I used to have some friends over in East Texas and Louisiana that had elongated skulls....

huh? South America populated by white Europeans first and then the big bad Incas ethnically cleansed them. Dang, that wrecks all the politically correct storylines. Time to reclaim our heritage!!

In some of the Mayan ruins you can see sculpted faces that look like white guys with full beards.

There was a lot more going on in pre-history than the archaeologists and anthropologists with their conventional biases are prepared to consider.

This is why I have problems with anti-Christian evolution theories.

More specifically, so-called evolution “scientists” somehow got a license to revise evolution “laws” every time the dog digs up something unexpected in the backyard.

How in the world does such a thing get started in a society?

In a normal human skull, there should be a suture which goes from the frontal plate ... clear over the dome of the skull separating the parietal plates - the two separate plates - and connecting with the occipital plate in the rear," said Marzulli. "We see many skulls in Paracas that are completely devoid of a sagittal suture.

There is a disease known as craniosynostosis, which results in the fusing together of the two parietal plates, however, Marzulli said there is no evidence of this disease in the Paracas skulls.

"Marzulli explained that an archaeologist has written a paper about his study of the position of the foramen magnum in over 1000 skulls. "He states that the Paracas skulls, the position of the foramen magnum is completely different than a normal human being, it is also smaller, which lends itself to our theory that this is not cradle headboarding, this is genetic."

In addition, Marzulli described how some of the Paracas skulls have a very pronounced zygomatic arch (cheek bone), different eye sockets and no sagittal suture, which is a connective tissue joint between the two parietal bones of the skull.

"From the samples, only the mitochondrial DNA (DNA from the mother’s side) could be extracted. Out of four hair samples, one of them couldn’t be sequences. The remaining three hair samples all showed a Haplogroup (genetic population group) of H2A, which is found most frequently in Eastern Europe, and at a low frequency in Western Europe. The bone powder from the most elongated skull tested came back as T2B, which originates in Mesopotamia and what is now Syria, essentially the heart of the fertile crescent. "It rewrites history as we know it," said Marzulli."

The pictures in the article show the guy holding the skulls with his bare hands. Unless those are replicas, and the original skulls have been handled only by people wearing gloves, the “European and Middle Eastern” DNA signatures are most likely from people handling the skulls. Considering those skulls were found in 1928, long before anyone had the idea of protecting samples from contamination by researchers, there has been plenty of opportunity to contaminate those skulls. I do not discount that people might have come to the Americas across the Atlantic in prehistoric times, but this “analysis” does not add to any evidence in support of this hypothesis.

In addition, Marzulli describes the foramen magnum as being positioned further back than one finds in a normal human skull. This is to support his “hypothesis” that these are some kind of human-alien hybrid, I suppose. But looking at the position of the foramen magnum in the skull he is holding and comparing it with normal skulls, it is apparent that the only reason the structure looks like it is further back is because of the skull deformation. The mass of the skull and its volume do not change because of intentional deformation, but the proportions of height x depth x width do change. In order to make the skulls longer, they had to be made narrower. And that shifting of mass came in part from the back of the skull—thus, resulting in a shorter distance from the foramen magnum to the “new” back of the skull. The distance of the foramen magnum to the jawline is consistent with that of normal skulls, confirming that the position of the structure is consistent with known human anatomy.

Anyway, despite his paying for DNA analysis services, this guy is not a scientist and can’t pass himself off as one on TV. He’s just another crackpot coming up with a zany idea, looking for “evidence” to support it.

A Paracas elongated skull and an artist’s impression based on a digital reconstruction.

That is indeed an elongated skull. But do they date back as far as 2,000 years ago, or 3,000 years ago? The article says both.
