Giant skeletons... skulls with horns, way too many teeth and pointy heads... What are we to make of these amazingly unusual specimens?
Whether you believe humans are the descendents of Adam and Eve, the result of millions of years of evolution or the genetic creations of the Annunaki, there are many puzzling specimens of skeletons, skulls and other human (or human-like) remains that have been unearthed over the years... and that can truly make one wonder about mankind’s past.
Here’s a bare-bones look at some of the more intriguing cases:
Horny Devils. Within an ancient burial mound near the town of Sayre in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, skeletons measuring approximately 7 feet in length were discovered in the 1800s. But the most remarkable feature of these tall skeletons was not their height, but the strange horn-like protrusions above the brow region on their skulls. It was estimated that they were buried around 1200 AD. According to some sources, the skeletons were sent to the “American Investigating Museum” in Philadelphia, and vanished.
All the Better to Eat You With, My Dear. In 1888, seven skeletons, which had been placed in a sitting position, were uncovered from a burial mound near Clearwater, Minnesota. The highly unusual skulls of these beings had double rows of teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. It was also noted that the foreheads were low and sloping, compared to “normal” human skulls, and had distinctly prominent brows.
Coneheads.
Researcher Robert Connolly photographed this strange elongated skull in 1995. It
was found in South America and is estimated to be tens of thousands of years
old. Apart from its obvious abnormalities, it also exhibits characteristics of
both Neanderthal and human skulls – impossible in itself, according to
anthropology texts, since Neanderthals did not exist in South America. Some
believe that the unusual shape of the skulls might be the result of a primitive
practice known as “skull binding” in which a person’s head is tightly
bound with cloth or leather straps throughout his lifetime, causing the skull to
grow in this dramatic way. The skull-binding theory is contested, however, for this and
other cone-shaped skulls, and you can read about them in more detail at Anomalous
Skulls.
