Why do medieval women have an alien-like skull?
In the past decades, experts and scientists have discovered some special tombs in Europe containing the remains of some women. What makes the experts notice is the shape of their long skulls look quite like aliens.
The discovery of long skulls of medieval European women, including 14 skulls in 6 Bavarian cemeteries, has led experts and scientists "confused" for decades.
According to scientists, these women have unusually prolonged skulls.
These graves containing this skull dating back to about 1,600 years old are not found much in Europe.
Experts suspect these women may be foreigners who immigrated to medieval Europe.
These people, after their death, were buried together with some burial items of local people, indicating that they seemed to adapt to the local culture.
The results of the research showed that the long skull resembling aliens is due to human influence.
Specifically, the ancient people conceived deformed skulls expressing nobility, beauty or other values.
In order to have a long skull, the ancients extended the skull by squeezing the head with wooden planks or wrapping tightly around the head as a child.
This practice must be done when the subject is young because the skull is still soft and easy to change its original appearance due to external effects.
