The skull is as long as the aliens of ancient Eastern European women

Scientists analyze DNA and discover unusual long skulls in Germany belonging to ancient Eastern European women.

The research team led by Krishna Veeramah, a scientist at Stony Brook University, conducted DNA analysis of longer skulls normally found in Germany, Newsweek reported on March 14. The results showed that they belonged to Eastern European women who could be taken to be brides in other regions.

The process of tightening the head to change the shape of the skull after the birth of the child appears in many cultures in history. This is considered a symbol for high social status because this process requires a lot of time and effort. This practice is quite common in Eastern Europe, originating from Hung.

However, stretched skulls belong to 13 female remains, dating from about 500 years, discovered in the riverside towns of the Danube, southern Germany, confusing archaeologists. Before that, they did not see this practice appearing in Western Europe.

The results of the new DNA analysis show that these are Eastern European women. The team concludes that not Western Europeans absorb the custom of deforming the skull that these women migrated from Eastern Europe.

Researchers think they could be brides brought under the agreement. The strange head shape is not the only thing that makes these women stand out. DNA analysis showed that they possessed dark eyes, skin and dark hair while in new lands, the characteristics of blue eyes and blond hair were more common.

Highlights can make Eastern European women attractive, Veeramah commented. " Our data shows that Barbarian people in Western Europe and Central Europe bring to women elsewhere with their elongated heads, perhaps to create strategic alliance with the eastern communities. Hung people do not play a big role in this process, " he explained.

In addition to revealing the origins of mysterious women, the new study also shows that not only men migrate during this period. In fact, it seems that these women have traveled a long way from Eastern Europe to Western Europe without the need for men to go along.
