Description
Elongated human skulls have been found on every inhabited continent, with the majority of examples dating back around 2000 years. These skulls were often the result of artificial cranial deformation, performed on infants to create a specific look that distinguished them from the general population. In Peru and Bolivia, this practice was particularly common, and this book explores the societies that created these elongated skulls, their possible relationships, and the mystery surrounding the origins of these individuals.
Some of the ancient people of Peru and Bolivia may have been born with elongated skulls, a discovery that could potentially rewrite the history of humanity. This book delves into the archaeological record, examining the evidence and theories surrounding these enigmatic skulls, and shedding light on the cultures that created them.
