A skeleton with an unusual-shaped skull has been unearthed on a site known as Russia's Stonehenge.
When images of the remains were first published, UFO enthusiasts rushed to claim they were proof that aliens had once visited Earth.
But archaeologists have revealed that the bones belong to a woman who lived almost 2,000 years ago and had an elongated skull because it was bound out of tribal tradition.

Did they find the rings during the excavation as evidence that they played some “ring-toss”?
ha Ha!
Died of consuming mass quantities? Was it originally from “France”?
Yes. I noticed that, but still expect at lsast a little professional sounding data about the subject.
After all, the Leakeys found a tooth and half a rib or something, and then massaged that into knowing it was a human female with red hair, lefthanded, excellent cook and accomplished ballroom dancer./S
The Leakeys knew how to manipulate the media and get grants...............
Mibs! Thanks Red Badger. Any traces of fried eggs or six packs?

The whole site looks like a giant fried egg!....................
Shazbat!
That’s quite a noggin. I wonder if she had frizzy red hair.
I have no problem with the theory that the skull was bound by tribal tradition. And I have no trouble believing that the same tribal traditions of skull binding exist in many places all over the world with presumably no cultural interaction.
Having said that, one wonders WHY skull binding was a tribal tradition on many continents and different cultures. Hard to believe that a desire for a skull that was so abnormal compared to the natural state spontaneously occurred in relatively primitive cultures.
Well, according to Maya tradition it was considered a beauty enhancement and a mark of social status.................

their skulls were flattened, not elongated coneheads.
It is believed by some that, like its English counterpart, it was used to study of the stars, but Arkaim is thought to be more advanced.IOW, no one has been able to figure out just how it "works" -- but that's because archaeoastronomy is 99% pure delusion.

That is mysterious — there’s no sign that any human ancestors had it, and the practice grew as the trait vanished. But that’s an example of why people research. :’)
Even Tut’s father had it. Hmmm.
Im not saying they were trying to emulate the ETs that they thought were gods, but that’s what they were doing.
Enter Georgio Tsoucalas [drum roll]
I confess, I’m envious of Georgio’s hairstyle. He’s probably using it to hide an elongated skull.
A look at the plate sutures would tell if ‘she’ was a typical human just binding her head from infancy. There are numerous skulls in Peru which do not have the usual plate sutures. Google L.A. Marzulli in search of the Nephilim.
The Huns bound their infant’s skulls, as did some AmerIndian tribes. Both groups have Siberian connections.
Hadn’t you heard? Georgio is an alien. That hair hides his antenna nubs.
