The skulls were found plastered LOL.

See? Good booze is a preservative. :-)

They found 9,000 in the last year? Is it a new killing field?

The skulls were apparently placed on benches in a house where they would inspire the younger generation to continue in the ways of their forefathers.

How do we know that? Maybe they were just being used as paperweights!

According to Muslim theorists, these skulls are simply proto-Palestinians who lived in the area way before the Jews arrived to steal the land in 1948.

The skulls were apparently placed on benches in a house where they would inspire the younger generation to continue in the ways of their forefathers. A similar custom was also identified in Syria, Turkey and Jordan.

Apparently?

Maybe they were placed there by what we now term a serial killer who wanted to be close to his victims, and to further inspire his work....
