men and women both have 24 ribs - 12 on each side. The first seven pairs of ribs are connected to the sternum (breast bone). Rarely, some people have one more or less pairs of ribs due to various genetic mutations.

TextDeep inside an ancient pyramid in Peru, a mummy lay hidden in a gold-filled tomb. The underground chamber remained a secret for nearly 1,600 years, until an archaeologist noticed rectangular patches of soft clay in the pyramid's floor—a telltale sign of a grave. His heartbeat quickened. He suspected that someone powerful would be buried here. The archaeologist was standing in a sacred location, a courtyard near the peak of the biggest pyramid at El Brujo—a ceremonial site of the ancient Moche (MO-chay) people. The civilization's rulers, who controlled the north coast of Peru from A.D. 100 to 800, probably reserved this spot for a king or a great warrior. What valuable treasures would lie inside this leader's tomb?

TextInca mummies consist of at least three main types: (1) the mummies of the rulers. Most were kept in Cusco, though at least the mummies of three kings were sent to Lima. None have ever been found, because they were destroyed during the Spanish conquest of Peru. (2) the mummies of sacrificed children, which have been found on mountain tops in Peru, Chile, and Argentina. One was named Juanita, the Ice Maiden. (3) A related group of Inca mummies are the Chachapoya, known sometimes as the mummies of "the Cloud People." These come from northern Peru.

It is just a case of Skull binding, a practice found all across the ancient globe! What is more interesting is the reasons behind how civilisations that had no apparent way of contacting each other would perform the same proceedures........my own theory is that they are possibly immitating their gods! or as we now know them as Aliens!

TextDavila Riquelme said three anthropologists, from Spain and Russia, arrived at the museum last week to investigate the findings and agreed it was ‘not a human being’ and would conduct further studies. He added: ‘Although the assessment was superficial, it is obvious that its features do not correspond to any ethnic group in the world.’ The remains of an eyeball in the right socket will help determine its genetic DNA - and clear up the controversy if it is human or not. The second mummy is incomplete and is only 30cm (12in). It lacks a face and seems to be wrapped in a layer as a placenta, fetal position. The remains bear a striking resemblance to the triangular crystal skull in the 2008 Indiana Jones film Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - which turned out to be of alien origin and have supernatural powers.

But you need to debate how your explanation actually fits in with what we are seeing here. Because it clearly doesn't offer an adequate explanation. These are bloated craniums, not elongated, and as douglas has been trying to point out, the facial features are in context with the size and shape of the skull. You have absolutely failed to explain that. Your explanation is flimsy at best.edit on 19-11-2011 by ChaoticOrder because: (no reason given)
