One of the hundreds of elongated skulls that were discovered in 1928 at Paracas Peninsula in Peru. Cranial deformation was practiced by the Paracas civilization (800-100 BCE) by tightly wrapping the head in cloth, during the first few years of life, in order to elongate the cranium

Forget the shape, is no one going to mention they found skulls with WRITING ON THEM?!

You get your baby's Head elongated for free if you let advertisers write on them.

Imagine this would still be practiced and how goofy bike helmets would look.

That can’t be good for the grey matter.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Grey matter is overrated anyway.

Streamline the synapses!

But what was the reason they did this? Did they think it looked good?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Talking out my ass here so please research and verify, but at least for the woman with elongated necks, it was originally to make them unattractive to men of other tribes. Over time, this turned into a specific beauty standard for their own tribe.

It makes me uncomfortable tbh.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Probably makes them uncomfortable, too, especially the neck muscles.
