To paraphrase the big haired guy on Ancient Aliens, I’m not saying it’s aliens, but…just look at the thing. It looks like something Sigourney Weaver would want to nuke from orbit.
Archaeologists digging near Mexico’s Sonora desert have discovered what appears to be the burial ground of an early Mesoamerican society, including signs of deformed skulls.
According to a story at Past Horizons Archaeology
, the burial ground consists of 25 individuals; 13 have intentional cranial deformation and five also have dental mutilation, cultural practices which are similar to those of pre-Hispanic groups in southern Sinaloa and northern Nayarit, but until now, have not been seen in Sonora…. Archaeologist Cristina Garcia Moreno, director of the research project…said that, “Cranial deformation in Mesoamerican cultures was used to differentiate one social group from another and for ritual purposes, while the dental mutilation in cultures such as the Nayarit was seen as a rite of passage into adolescence. This is confirmed by the findings at the Sonora cemetery where the five bodies with dental mutilation are all over 12 years in age.”
The main significance to archaeologists is that the discovery suggests the presence (or influence) of Mesoamerican societies much farther north than previously believed.
And we hear about this just a day before the world is supposed to end. Uh huh.

I wonder which is worse: Having your skull deformed and your teeth filed down OR making it through Junior High?
At least he smiled for the camera.
– the big-haired Greek alone.
So, what’s the big deal? They found a burial ground for pointy-headed liberals…
looks a bit like what Frank Marshall Davis did to the Fraud’s brain.
That’s what sarah palin’s skull really looks like under that stupid bumpit updo.
What? What did Sarah Palin ever do to become such an object of hate among folks such as yourself? It really looks like a psychosis at this point.
If it looks like psychosis and sounds like psychosis….
What did Sarah Palin ever NOT do? Gosh, the mind boggles.
Hey that thing looks just like the aliens from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Or it would, anyway, if I were willing to admit that such a film existed.
There may be a cultural connection between the practice of skull elongation and today’s modern social parasite.
While I am unsure about the habits of this particular meso-American group, one such culture of indigent folks was infamous for their aggressive taking ways; called the Scourge of God, their leader, Atilla the Hun had a head almost exactly like this guy.
The Huns, of course, are the ancestors of the modern Democrat party.
B Dubya I beleive your comment about the practice of skull elongation. A very interesting and educative comment. Merci-Thank you

So they hung their infants by their hair, or what?
Sigourney Weavewre was just an actress, my friend. Don’t believe all you see or read. This skull is from a practice carried out by Indians and Africans for centuries – binding the skull to increase the brain siz.e.
You know, I hate people, who hate Sara Palin, and I will always remember, that it was liberals who burned down her church. As for the pointy headed guys, they have always been scary.
