The elongated skulls of Paracas in Peru caused a stir in 2014 when a geneticist that carried out preliminary DNA testing reported that they have mitochondrial DNA “with mutations unknown in any human, primate, or animal known so far”. A second round of DNA testing was completed in 2016 and the results almost as controversial – the skulls tested, which date back as far as 2,000 years, were shown to have European and Middle Eastern Origin. It was claimed these surprising results would change the known history about how the Americas were populated. But did they?
Paracas is a desert peninsula located within Pisco Province on the south coast of Peru. It is here where Peruvian archaeologist, Julio Tello, made an amazing discovery in 1928 – a massive and elaborate graveyard containing tombs filled with the remains of individuals with the largest elongated skulls found anywhere in the world. These have come to be known as the ‘Paracas skulls’. In total, Tello found more than 300 of these elongated skulls, some of which date back around 3,000 years.
It is well-known that most cases of skull elongation are the result of cranial deformation, head flattening, or head binding, in which the skull is intentionally deformed by applying force over a long period of time. It is usually achieved by binding the head between two pieces of wood, or binding in cloth. However, while cranial deformation changes the shape of the skull, it does not alter other features that are characteristic of a regular human skull.

We are from France.
These are obviously coneheads! From France.
So whitey was here first after all.
They had to come from somewhere..............
…and all this time I thought my cone head was from too much time in a small birth canal!?
Paracas... were spawned... from crackas.
How do we know the Europeans don’t have Peruvian ancestry?
“the skulls tested, which date back as far as 2,000 years, were shown to have European and Middle Eastern Origin.”
Just speculation here but maybe these were early immigrants who became the ‘elite class’ among the local natives.
They emigrated from Konisberg, Germany.

********************How many more nutty white supremacist theories do you believe in?
They just wanted to look like their Alien visitor/masters.
That's quite a stretch, but at least these Nephilim ("fallen [ones]") could hold their heads up high.
This is the flip side of nutty afrocentrism. White eurocentric nuttery.
“How many more nutty white supremacist theories do you believe in?”
The DNA says these people are descended from Europeans and Middle Easterners. They’re about 2,000 years old.
European and Middle Eastern people have been oceangoing for about 4,000 years now.
Skull modification and body modification in general among Central and South Americans were known hallmarks of their elites.
How this is all “nutty” to you escapes me unless you’re a recent college graduate for whom historical facts are offensive to ‘zir’ opinions.
Also, what part of “speculation” are you unclear about?
The ‘spec’ or the ‘ulation’?
It’s an interesting theory: given the relative IQs of AmerIndian vs European/MiddleEastern people, I could see a trading fleet of Phoenicians showing up and becoming prominent.
Especially if they had metal weapons.
From Europa, maybe.
Not Europe.
2000 years ago, Carthage had trading fleets going all over
