Archaeologists Discover Mysterious Elongated Skulls in France
French archaeologists made a surprising discovery during an excavation in Alsace, France, when they uncovered a substantially elongated skull dating back 1,500 years. The finding prompted the archaeologists to extend their search over 7.5 acres, which resulted in the discovery of an abundance of artefacts, human and animal remains from Neolithic, Gallic, Gallo-Roman, and Merovingian societies.
The skull appears to have been intentionally elongated through the practice known as cranial deformation, which is usually associated with ancient Mesoamerican cultures and was practiced extensively in Europe, Africa, Asia, and as noted, South America. Cranial deformation is achieved by distorting the normal growth of a child’s skull by applying force through binding the head between pieces of wood or binding it in cloth. It is typically carried out on an infant, as the skull is most pliable at this time.
The skull was discovered during excavation of a necropolis containing 18 burials. It was discovered in a tomb belonging to a woman who clearly held a high status position in society as she was buried with a rich assortment of treasures including gold pins, a silver mirror, beads of glass and amber, a comb made from deer antler and a number of other goods.
Cranial deformation was frequently associated with the elites of society and affirmed their high status. The important question of course is why? A number of alternative theorists have proposed that the practice was done to mimic a race of people who were born with elongated skulls and who were obviously held in high esteem. Brien Foerster has written extensively on the subject and has presented compelling evidence relating to skulls that were significantly elongated through genetics and not through cranial deformation. Many questions remain to be answered.

remnants of the Nephilim and those who worshipped them!
I was told in school that it was water on the brain.
That it caused that sort of deformation of the skull.
The teacher who told me this, believed that King Tut had water on the brain.
That would lead to massive brain damage and the brain would then be absorbed by the body and eliminated as waste and then death. Especially to this degree of deformation.
China use to bind the feet of the geishas. Africans use neck rings to elongate their necks. Some society chop off phalanges. Sorry don’t believe in ancient Aliens.
I think the best theory is given above; that people bound the skull to induce deformation to imitate an advanced race they admired. There may was have been an initiated priesthood who guarded secret wisdom, and if you weren’t born into it and didn’t get your skull deformed you would be excluded. No faking your way in as an adult.
Probably relatives of Beldar,Prymaat, and Connie! The Coneheads on SNL.
Note: The Mayans deformed skulls in youngsters to denote a privileged status. The Mayan skulls did not have that much cranial volume though.
First of all they are not human skulls and they have been discovered all over the world.
Try studying history prior to 6000 ad.
That story is as old as that skull. lol. and dats da truth.
Those skulls were NOT boarded to create deformation…that species was BORN that way…Nephilin. Evidence is worldwide.
