Heads up about a Head.

[JerriBlank]

That’s a nice head jar, but I’d rather keep my head.

[BenLurkin]

A “jarhead”?

[keat]

Just doing the jobs Peruvian heads wouldn’t do.

Decapitated Man Found in Peru Tomb With Ceramic “Replacement” Head, Will Participate in Next Democrat Presidential Debate

The decapitated body was found in the Nasca region

In the NASCAR region, the head would've been replaced with a Dale Jr. bowling ball.

My eyes suggest to me that that skeleton is that of a very tall person based on the skull there. Am I totally wrong?

Thanks BGHater. Somewhere there's a grave with a human skull on top of a ceramic replacement body...

Not sure, but it is really interesting how the body is upright and has its legs crossed.

Vintage Skulls

"Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans."

We white people keep turning up in the weirdest places.

This may have been the first instance of a primitive attempt at a brain transplant.

The subject was obviously an early liberal whose thinking didn’t quite fit in with normal people.

If Professor Stephen Oppenheimer is correct and the oldest Mongoloid skeleton ever found is only 10,000 year old, then, everyone older than that is someone that wasn't expected out in the Pacific and in the Americas. New Lapita Find Re-dates Known Fiji Settlers (Jomon/Ainu)

The Jomon/Ainu are Caucasian-like people and IMO, the source of all the 'unusual' people whose skeletons are being found in the Americas.
