‘Alien’-Like Skulls Found in Mexico



Quote:
Archaeologists in Mexico have uncovered 25 “alien”-looking human skulls with in a cemetery in the northwest state of Sonora, they said today.

Some of the skulls showed “deformities,” said Cristina Garcia Moreno, who worked on the excavation project with Arizona State University, which analyzed the bones. The bones are about 1,000 years old, dating from 945 A.D. to 1308 A.D.
Quote:
“This was an Hispanic cemetery with 25 skulls, and 13 of them have deformed heads,” Moreno told ABC News today. “We don’t know why this population specifically deformed their heads.”

Moreno said that scientists had found skulls in other parts of Mexico, including Guasave, south of Sonora that also showed similar deformities in certain groups of people. Scientists believe they put beams of wood on the front and back of individuals’ heads and wrapped the wood with bands to exert pressure on the skull, Moreno said.

Someone 'small' similarity can be.

another example of irresponsible journalism.

by using these terms such as "alien-like" this gives rise to conspiracy theories

the headline should have read "Human skulls found in Mexico evidence of skull binding in ancient culture"

You know what's caused all this 'alien skull' business, of course. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Still...it would be awesome if they found out that one of the skulls wasn't human.
