A quick search on "dolichocephalic skulls" would lead one to believe that these ancient corpses were most likely Jewish, or their predecessor group. That's the most logical conclusion that I could draw. Elongated skulls are also somewhat common among "Teutons" apparently (lots of old, racist stuff still on the web on that one), as well as certain South American tribes such as the Inca, plus certain Asian groups.

Or, this could be an Ananaki grave, LOL.

My thoughts exactly. Melchizedek, the priest who offered Abraham bread and wine, is said to have had an elongated head too.

Duke-
Where did you get the information on Melchizedek?

[Duke Nukum]

If you mean about his elongated skull, it's something I read a long time ago, possibly in high school, either a poem or a relgious text. Something about the "of the priesthood of Melchizedek" or "of the line of Melchizedek."

Possibly, it was in the tractate of Valis by Philip K. Dick. Anyway, it always stuck with me and everytime I think of elongated skulls I think of Incas, Egyptians, and Melchizedek. He just turned up in a book I'm reading called Genesis of the Grail Kings by Laurence Gardner.

Thanks Blam. Burial on the side in the fetal position is a very old practice, but I'm not sure what these three burials signify -- contact with Anatolia / the Aegean? Anyway, a smokin' topic.

whoops.

"the newly discovered corpses, which were buried lying on their backs"

[ruoflaw]

The prehistoric Indian of America ususally buried their dead in the flex position (on their sides). So when you say old practice, that is not an understatement. lol

dolichocephalic skulls

There was another thread on long skulls maybe a couple years ago. I don't recall where those were found or what age they belonged to.

"...undoing the damage caused by listening to country music

LOL, some of the damage is permanent, but you may be able to still save yourself!

"There was another thread on long skulls maybe a couple years ago. I don't recall where those were found or what age they belonged to."

Weren't those down in Baja?

[RightWhale]
