It would be hard not to think of the head as being the seat of consciousness when the eyes and ears are there conducting reality into the brain.

However, some modern cultures believe the seat of consciousness to be the heart. So a link between porcelain heads and belief in the home of consciousness ain't necessarily so.

I'm starting to think more and more that MAYBE we had more of an advanced civilization at some time in the past, and that civilization declined and was almost destroyed by whatever events almost drove the mega fauna to extinction.

I've heard rumors that there are some in the open academic community who are talking that the pyramids themselves might be as much as 10,000 years old.
