Young Woman with Cone-Shaped Skull Suffered Fatal Blow 6,000 Years Ago

Science News Today reports that archaeologists excavating a Copper Age cemetery in western Iran recently noticed the unusual skull of a young woman among the burials. Her elongated and cone-shaped cranium clearly indicated that when she was younger, she had undergone some type of skull modification, a process that usually involves the binding of a child's head with cloth during their formative years. The report notes that for many cultures across the globe, from the Central American Maya to the Huns of Eurasia, cranial shaping was a symbol of beauty, status, or identity. In this case, the researchers believe, it may have marked the girl as someone of significance 6,200 years ago. Upon further examination, however, they also noticed a skull fracture indicating that the young girl, who was not yet 20, had suffered a devastating blunt force blow to the head that certainly killed her. They suggest that although her skull bones were thinner and weaker as a result of the modification process, the head trauma was so severe that it would have killed her even if she had never been subject to the procedure. It is still unclear whether she was deliberately murdered or suffered some kind of accident.

What is the relevance of this discussion? Marfan Syndrome is real. no doubt about that. Though these people are claimed to have this issue. But that doesn't account for the ridges in their mouth and many other issues.

Not my style or within my budget-a couple pairs of cheap, pretty sandals do for going to dinner/out in warm weather, and knee high boots in Winter. My only pricey footwear is steel toe leather work boots-I wear them to work and everywhere else outside all year round.

The knee-jerk defenders here of Rothschild bankers’ wars have very differently shaped skulls, however—I’m quite sure.

They appear to have been affected with some unfortunate genetic abnormality-there are certainly quite a few to choose from-Marfan is just one that we know about-there are likely others we don’t know about because they have been lost in the breeding process over the centuries-a good thing I think....

I was joking. Those are what the little old ladies around here wear.

It's far more then defending "Judaism." Which I love Judaism. They where the first religion that attempted to put an end to human sacrifice. NOT my issue.

Haplogroup L's(Amazigh) are the race that mated with the root race which we're not officially aware of yet. Haplogroup L's are from the Americas(almost extinct in native people) and Africa.
Every human on the planet came from Haplogroup L or you can say we're all decedents of those mother(s)

Nice talking with you to.

Some of them do here, too-but I’m not your average little old lady-I don’t wear little old lady clothes and I work for a living...
