"Like the skulls found in the island of Los Tres Reyes, (Marinduque), those of the cave of Pamin-Taan were deformed... (Marche, 1881)
Prior to Marche, it was the German-Russian naturalist Fedor Jagor who aroused public attention in the West in the 1860s with his discovery in Marinduque caves of deformed skulls. Up to that time nothing was known of such skulls in the oriental island world. The practice of compressing the head of a newborn child between two boards were purportedly done so that instead of looking round it would be lengthened out with the forehead also flattened, considered an ancient “special mark of beauty”
Similar deformed skulls were found by Marche in the caves of Los Tres Reyes, Pamintaan and Macayan. It is astonishing now to learn that the same goal of modifying the shape of the skull turning it into a cone-shaped one was also practiced in the ancient world, the world of the Egyptians, Incas and Mayans. As one who grew up in Marinduque, I've also heard about very large elongated craniums (mahahaba ang bungo), old people have supposedly seen in some of our caves (although I have not seen one myself).

The ancient Mayan Calendar. Does a common ancestry exist between these civilizations? It appears that there is much more to this than mere beauty. From Egypt to South America, and other places on earth such as Siberia, we find more astonishing new revelations that may lead to that conclusion. Intriguing quotes from a Russian archaeologist and scholars as shown in the following video: |
“The most
likely explanation was that ancient communities deliberately deformed the
skulls of infants, possibly with the intention of increasing mental abilities..”
“It’s
unlikely that the ancients knew much about neuro-surgery but it’s possible that
somehow they were able to develop exceptional brain capabilities.. these people
were some form of living instrument who were able, for instance, to determine
whether or not there was danger, as well as to predict the weather.”
"However, some uncertainty remains around the fact that the exact same deformation was practiced in different areas of the world, that at that time had no contact with each other..."
“The ancient Mayans depicted their Gods and ceremonial kings as having these cone-like heads..”

And a more
astounding, incredible mixture of theories and ideas! Shades of Mara Unduk I should say. Watch this video from sumerian101!
