This isn’t your most recent episode of Unsolved Mysteries. In fact, these are authentic skulls dug up and discovered from nearly every corner of the globe.
If the skulls are actually of human origin has been put up for debate by some. Either way, these anomalies will either give you a great costume idea, inspiration to go on your own Indian Jones-style adventure, or just provide a reason for some really freaky dreams.

I saw a documentary on these skulls some time ago, including footage of living subjects. The custom of the people was to bind the heads of babies while their skulls were still soft so that they would grow into this elongated shape, i believe it was related to their religion.

Maybe they’ve been watching The Mentalist.
Amanda: I watched that show the other week. There were no skulls. A blond guy sniffed a severed hand and then won several games of poker, then someone else playing poker got arrested. All these things were connected somehow.
“Suggestions that the skulls were altered by a process of binding the skull in infancy, when the cranial bones are soft, encouraging them to grow into an un-natural shape, have been rejected.”

It’s Roger the Alien out of American Dad.
what the hell are they? proof the cone heads existed?
i agree with skratakh in so far as binding babies heads in order to elongate the skull. i came across it in a book on African Hair; it was a form of beautification among the Mangbetu community/tribe in Central Africa.
