| The grave of a woman with a bizarre, long-headed skull has been unearthed in Korea.
The woman was part of the ancient Silla culture, which ruled much of the Korean peninsula for nearly a millennium.
Unlike some of the deformed, pointy skulls that have been found throughout the world in other ancient t graves, however, it is unlikely that this woman had her head deliberately flattened, the researchers said.
The ancient Silla Kingdom reigned over part of the Korean Peninsula from 57 B.C. to A.D. 935, making it one of the longest-ruling royal dynasties. Many of Korea's modern-day cultural practices stem from this historic culture.

I was expecting some big crazy long thing like that Diva Plavalaguna chick on the 5th Element. The pic looked like a regular skull. Disappointed in the lack of a freak show quality.
Coneheads?
Not real until featured on Ancient Aliens!

There’s a Korean engineer at work. He goes 7’6”.
He’s got a lot of long going on.
No kidding. Where’s the beef?
I thought this was another Miss Missouri thread.
The article suggests that this person was eating potatoes. Such ignorance.
I’d hit that but, she looks cracked....
It’s not so abnormal. Looks like she had more calcium than some and might have done head kungs or something.

She’s a long-headed woman but I
Love her just the same.
Miss Mizzou. Ha! True dat.
While the singing is by this girl, the actor in the costume is Maiwenn Le Besco, who is the ex-wife of Luc Besson. She just turned 40 and Luc is about 67-68 ish now. Luc fondly recalls when he met her and fell in love... when she was 11.
Some youtuber just put out a “10 things you didn’t know about Leon” video. Learn something new everyday.
And just so everyone knows I’m not just playing around with this guy’s character, she gave birth to his kid when she was 17.
I though the Coneheads were from France.
I expected a “LongHeaded Woman in a Black Dress,
Just a 5’9, beautiful tall,”
She’s no Pry’mate Conehead.
