Summary:
- Archaeologists have discovered ancient human skulls with unusual, elongated shapes on every continent except Antarctica. These "artificial cranial deformation" practices were likely done for cultural or social reasons, not to make the person look like an alien.
- The practice of intentionally reshaping the skull, often starting in infancy, was common in many ancient civilizations around the world. It was likely done for social status, religious beliefs, or to distinguish certain groups of people.
- While the elongated skulls may look strange to modern eyes, they were a normal part of the cultural practices of these ancient societies and do not indicate any connection to aliens or supernatural beings.
