On the southern coast of Peru, one of the most mysterious countries in South America, lies the Paracas Peninsula, covered with a sandy desert. Here in this inhospitable landscape, the Peruvian archaeologist Julio Tello made one of the most mysterious discoveries of 1928. During the excavations, Tello uncovered a settlement and a cultivated burial ground under the dry soil of the Paraca Desert.

In the mysterious tombs, Tello discovered sets of controversial human remains that forever changed our view of our ancestors and ancestors. The bodies in the tombs had some of the largest elongated skulls ever discovered on Earth, and were named Paraca skulls after the site of the discovery. A Peruvian archaeologist has discovered over 300 of these mysterious skulls, which he believes are about 3000 years old.

And as if the shape of the skulls weren't mysterious enough, recent DNA analyzes performed on several skulls have presented one of the most mysterious and incredible results, calling into question everything we know so far about human origin and the human evolutionary tree.

Cranial Deformations: Ancient Religious Practice

Although some cultures on Earth practice skull deformation, the techniques used are different and therefore the results are different. There are certain South American tribes that use "wrapping baby skulls" to change their shape, resulting in a drastically elongated skull that resembles anything but a normal human skull. By using combined pieces of wood exerting constant pressure for a long time, the ancient tribes achieved a cranial deformation that is also found in ancient African cultures. However, while this type of cranial deformity changes the shape of the skull, it does not change its size or weight, which is characteristic of ordinary human skulls.

Here, however, the details of Paracasian skulls become interesting. They're all but ordinary skulls. The skull of Paracasian skulls is at least 25% larger and up to 60% heavier than the skull of a normal human being. Researchers are convinced that these manifestations could not have been caused by mere wrapping, as some scientists predict. Not only do they differ in weight, but Paracasian skulls also have a different structure and have only one skeletal bone, while normal people have two.

These strange shapes further deepened the decades-long mystery surrounding Paracasian skulls, and scientists still have no idea what they meant.

Further testing

The director of the Paracas Museum of History sent 5 samples to pass genetic testing and the results were exciting. Samples containing hair, skin, teeth, and cranial bones brought unbelievable details that only strengthened the secrets surrounding these unusual skulls. The genetic laboratories to which the samples were sent were not informed of the origin of the skulls in advance in order to avoid "influencing the results".

Mitochondrial DNA, which is inherited only from the mother, has surprisingly shown mutations that are unknown to any human, primate or animal found on planet Earth. The mutations present in the Paracian skull samples show that scientists have something to do with a completely new human-like creature, but very different from the human Homo sapiens, Neanderthals, or people called Denized.

Brien Foerster reported the following of the genetic findings:

The samples contained mitochondrial DNA with mutations not yet discovered in any human, primate or animal. But a few fragments that I was able to sequence from this sample suggest that if these mutations continued, we would be dealing with a completely new humanoid creature, completely different from the human Homo sapiens, the Neanderthals, or the people called Denized.

According to the study, individuals with Paracas skulls were so biologically different that it was impossible to cross between them and humans. "I'm not sure if they would fit into the theory of the evolution of the evolutionary tree of human origin," said the genetic researcher.

Who were these mysterious beings? Did they develop on Earth separately? What made them so different from "normal people? And is it possible that these beings do not come from Earth at all? All these options are only theories that can not be proven by contemporary science. The only thing we know so far is that there are a lot of "TAM OUTSIDE" things that are far beyond the ideas of researchers, historians and scientists. And it is quite possible that the question of whether we are alone in the universe can be answered once thanks to Paracas skulls.
