In Mexico, the skull was found "alien" dating back 1000 years
This stunning picture could well be conclusive evidence of the existence of alien races, not just visiting this planet. However, as often is the case, the reality is more boring and ordinary than it might seem at first glance.
Leading excavations near the small Mexican village Onavas (Onavas) archaeologists presented to the world a wonderful skull ... the ordinary person. Riddle of this incredible discovery lies in the strange and monstrous, by today's standards, custom - artificial deformation of the skull in children.
According to scientists, the owner of the skull lived ~ 1000 years ago.
Apparently, the ancient people who lived in the region, were the first who began the practice of artificial deformation of skulls.
"In Mesoamerican cultures artificial deformation of the skull was used for the separation of different social groups, and for ritual purposes," - says archaeologist Moreno Garcia (Garcia Moreno), director of the research project.
In the burials were found 25 skeletons, 13 of which were artificially deformed skull, and at five surgically altered bite.
"Here we see an entirely new culture in which intertwined traditions of different groups of Mesoamerican peoples who once lived in northern Mexico," - says Moreno.
This tomb was the first and only place in the region, where they found jewelry from sea shells to the Gulf of California, which is still veiled hand carved ancient wizard fancy ornaments.
"This discovery extends above the established boundaries of the Mesoamerican archaeologists peoples of the far north," - said Moreno.
Discovered at the site decoration suggest that people at that time were life ring in the ears and nose, bracelets, beads made of sea shells, and in one grave was even a turtle shell, carefully laid on his stomach deceased during his burial.
Deformed bite, found in some of the ancient inhabitants of Mexico, as well is artificial and, apparently, was part of the rite of initiation.
"Deformation of teeth is a rite of passage into adulthood in many cultures - explained Moreno. - Apparently, in the region of painful change operation bite exposed children who have reached the age of 12 ".
