DNA testing and carbon testing are currently underway on several elongated skulls that were found in Peru last year. In exclusive email correspondence with Brien Foerster from "Ancient Aliens" on July 18, 2012, Unexplained Phenomena Examiner was able to obtain information about these skulls and an upcoming tour that is planned to visit the cities of Nazca, Ica and Paracas in Peru, where the elongated skulls were found. Although the tour is nearly sold out, limited space is still available. For more information about the Ancient Peru and Bolivia tour with the Nazca, Ica and Paracas add-on, please visit Megalithomania.
Brien Foerster from Discovery Channel's "Ancient Aliens" is presently working in conjunction with the locals in Peru who discovered and exhumed several skeletons with elongated skulls in 2011. They are attempting to confirm the age and ancestry of these skulls through carbon testing and DNA testing. Although some ancient people have been known to use head binding, also known as artificial cranial deformation, to change the shape of their skulls, preliminary theories suggest that head binding was not the cause of the unusual shape of the skulls in this case. DNA testing may not prove that the elongated heads are of alien origin, but they should be able to confirm or rule out whether the skulls in Peru are actually human.
" Dozens of such elongated skulls have been found in many other places of the world, primarily in South and Central America in graves of the ancient indigenous civilisations. However, they've also been found in graves in France, Norway and Russia's North Caucasus region. In nearly all these cases, the remains are at least 1,500 years old. see This wide geographic stretch gives rise to yet another question: if such deformation was a fashion statement or an attempt to enhance brain capabilities, how is it possible that it was practised in many different regions of the world that had no contact with each other?"
I'm writing a fairly in-depth thread on elongated skulls with a new insight.

The question in my mind has always been, Why? How did this tradition start? Were their ancestors trying to retain a certain look that they were losing through the advancing generations or mixing with more and more Homo Sapiens? or were their ancestors trying to emulate something or someone they once saw?
