Alien-Like Skulls Found In Mexico
A group of alien-like skulls have been discovered in an old cemetery in Mexico.
But the skulls don’t belong to any extra-terrestrial beings. According to researchers, the alien-like skulls are actually human skulls that were purposefully elongated and deformed.
Researcher Cristina García Moreno, an archaeologist at Arizona State University, said that it was common for people to in Central America to practice cranial deformation. The practice was a ritual in some cultures and a sign of status in others. Moreno said that she wasn’t sure why the skulls at El Cementerio were deformed.
“Cranial deformation has been used by different societies in the world as a ritual practice, or for distinction of status within a group or to distinguish between social groups. The reason why these individuals at El Cementerio deformed their skulls is still unknown.”
Moreno said that several people have speculated that the skulls belong to aliens, but the archaeologist made it clear that the skulls were indeed human.
Moreno said:
“The most common comment I’ve read from people that see the pictures of cranial deformation has been that they think that those people were ‘aliens.’ I could say that some say that as a joke, but the interesting thing is that some do think so. Obviously we are talking about human beings, not of aliens.”
Live Science reports that the elongated skulls were found in a 1000-year-old cemetery near the small Mexican village of Onavas. Twenty-five people were buried at the cemetery, and 13 had alien-like skulls. Some also had mutilated teeth. Due to the young age of most of the individuals in the cemetery, between 5 months and 16 years old, researchers believe that they were probably killed during the cranial deformation process.
Researchers may be not know why this society chose to practice cranial deformation, but Moreno said that there is something more important to note about the discovery.
Moreno said: ”The most important implication would be to extend the northern boundary of the Mesoamerican influence.”

These are nephilim skulls, Look it up in the bible genesis chapter 6.
Dec 21, 2012
Most of our political leaders have EMPTY skulls!
Dec 21, 2012
Well, the world's coming to an end today, so might as well find aliens among us!

I believe that the skulls are of Hydrocephalic people. This is a condition where fluid builds up in the brain causing the head to swell. In Tallahassee Florida I used to work at Sunland Center where special needs children were kept. While not common, it is sad as the individual never attains normal function.

Weren't the nephilim's supposed to have mated with human females? If this skull is any indication of how they looked in life, there's no way women would be "gettin' wit dat".
Dec 21, 2012
They had no choice lol. Them Angels was strong handing them.
Dec 21, 2012
So lets rewrite the headline to "Deformed human skulls found".
Dec 21, 2012
LOL Look at the eyes and the face and tell me that is human maybe part human but NOT a 100%.

Skulls like this have been found all over the world. It's even believed that some Egyptians kept this practice and that those funny, tall hats they are depicted wearing on walls covered their elongated skulls.
Dec 21, 2012
I'd be interested to see a DNA test on it.
Dec 21, 2012
well from what I understand it was supposed to end 47 minutes ago, which is 11:00 central time. Besides its a beautiful day out there, doesn't feel the best but hey its winter

Titan, good call. I also agree that this is an offspring of the sons of God. Are they human, of course, but are both parents human.. I doubt it. It certainly will be fun to see how the comments progress…. Are these skulls deformed? No, absolutely not. Deformatkion of any sort especially skulls would never produce skulls with more bone/skull area than they started with… which are comments to just distract people from thinking futher on the subject. Enjoy

Well to all of you out there saying the world did not come to a end today! just keep in mind that first the day is not over yet! & who's to say just what might or might not happen we have until 12:00 am tonight! but please by all means go on with your day..

Dont look human to me eye sockets and chin look really oddallso
Dec 21, 2012
Are you hiding in your basement, wrapped in tinfoil?
Dec 21, 2012
What the hell is going on with those eye sockets?
Dec 21, 2012
"Researchers may be not know why this society chose to practice cranial deformation" — huh? Jesus, doesn't anyone check their work anymore? That doesn't even make sense….
Dec 21, 2012
Sure.. of course… What ever you say.. (Baaah…. Baaahhh) Yessir.. of course.. Whatever you say.. (Baaaahh.. Baaaahh) I'm so lonely. where is my flock? Where is my shephard?

So what if aliens interbred with us to the point that DNA as we know it includes the alien DNA, we wouldn't know the difference, to us it would all be human.
Dec 21, 2012
good place to hide their dope when crossing the arizona border.
Dec 21, 2012
Simple explanation………………….This is what Mexicans used to look like before they found out they could eat beans.
Dec 21, 2012
VERY true
Dec 21, 2012
As of today we are in a new age; things that were kept under our eyes before are now going to be blatenly obvious as we are developing a new sense of awareness. The ancient civilizations in Mexico are directly related to the ones in ancient egypt, Mayan cultures and all are decedents of an advanced civilization from the city once know as Atlantis. The veil is being lefted and soon we will all know the truth about our origins.
Dec 21, 2012
ok…i understand elongating the cranium but can someone explain to me how the eye sockets became slits?
Dec 21, 2012
Please study the cultures of the Aztec and the Mayan Indians that inhabited Mexico and did practice head deformation among many other things…they are ancient indian skulls…
Dec 21, 2012
aztec mayans and inca culture practiced head deformation for royalty, BUT where the fuck are his/her eye sockets and naisal spine or socket?
Dec 21, 2012
Wet.back fever gone wild.
Dec 21, 2012
Yea…like Romney. That's why he didn't win.
Dec 21, 2012
How is that not a racial epithet? You are one of the reasons this world is in the conditions it is in, spewing all that hatred.
Dec 21, 2012
That's what I thought. The eye socket and the jawline do not look human to me. I thought maybe I was crazy.
Dec 22, 2012
Hydrocephalics are quite distinct, much larger and rounder, often with teeth deformed by sucking the thumb at an age when healthy kids don't, and in most of human history seldom lived much beyond age twelve. You see similar skulls to these in the Museo de Antropologia, Arqueologia, e Historia in Lima, Peru. In our own southwest, during Basketmaker times, people had flat posteriors of skulls from the cradle they were swaddled to to.

You are not looking at the eye socket in this side view. This is the temporal area and the zygomatic arch, or cheek bone. The lateral border of the eye socket is on the left of the skull as we view it, and that triangle is the nasal bones.

Please read my reply to Denise Weiss above.
