Anthropologists suggest some elongated skulls were not deformed by bindings, but belonging to an entirely different species.
But, the most amazing finds were the skulls, some enormously elongated. The scientific name for this is dolichocephally. Most skulls exhibiting this condition were clearly the result of the practice of head-binding, also called cranial deformation.
What you are capable of doing via this technique is to change the shape of the skull, but not the actual volume. And this is where the Paracas skulls become especially intriguing. Three distinct shapes of not necessarily elongated, but altered skulls have been found in the area, and each seems to be unique to a particular "grave yard of nobility." As in many societies, those of the royal bloodline, and of high spiritual positions, were not buried in the same vicinity as "commoners."
Could the cranial deformations found have been made to emulate an ancient civilization that possessed greater abilities and perhaps the tradition was adopted for generations?
There are recent photographs showing a living man, today, with an elongated cranium. Could this sub-species still be alive today?
