I remember the heiroglyphs one was actually debunked if I recall correctly.
Ancient tribes would try to alter their children's skull which is easy to do at a young age. This has been a proven fact, unfortunately.
I think if an advanced race was visiting these ancient people, there would be more evidence.

Isthis a joke? utter nonsense. Those so called egyptian eiroglyphs, besides the explanation that ive already given- - you see those things because they eexist -its no different here. infact that JPG you linked to, you have to really lok at it to make yourself see those things, they dont just stick out, and if someone was looking at them and they WERENT TOLD in advance what thy are supposed to see, like you are doing now, they wouldnt see it either! this is pure crap!
unless you believe the ancient egyptians could predict the future then it is a logical fallacy to base ancient writings on the perceptions of modern man because such was not created from that perception! its called real science, learn it, and instead of ooihn and aahing at thephotos, why dontt you bother learning what they REALLY mean

and if you bothered reading up youd realize that many ancient cultres did mold and shape the skulls of their young when they were very young, so finding deofmred skulls is not at all suprising. howveer when it comes to skulls their are alot of fakes out their, and the skull you have their, is FAKE
there was another thread on here already where someone found the original and it was shown
evidence doesnt seem to be something you look for. what your doing is no more acurate then people seeing pictures in the clouds or images of the version mary on a tortilla no better not at all

The thing is, that photo is very unconvincing. There's no shot to even compare it's size or mass. You had me looking at a photo that could easily be a compressed skull from the back.

Umm yes we can build pyramids. I have never heard anyone say we couldnt. Infact if we were to build replicas of egyptian oyramids ours would probabaly be better.

As for the oddly shaped skulls... human skulls come in a large number of shapes and sizes, and the deformities that occur today also occurred back in history.
Other skulls have been shaped, for one reason or another the ancients would bind and shape some of their children's heads, forming a general conical appearance.
Other cultures, like the tribe in Africa, will stretch their necks, or ear lobes, or lips.

The original skull, in and of itself, resembles somebody suffering from Progeria.
As for deformities, there are people and animals born without parts of their bodies, or extra appendages. Deformities very much CAN account for missing mass to a skull.
... ten thousand years ago. The man of the future, with the big brain, the small teeth.... He lived in Africa. His brain was bigger than your brain. His face was straight and small, almost a child’s face. When the skull is studied in projection and ratios computed, we find that these fossil South African folk, generally called “Boskop” or “Boskopoids” after the site of first discovery, have the amazing cranium-to-face ratio of almost five to one. In Europeans it is about three to one. This figure is a marked indication of the degree to which face size had been “modernized” and subordinated to brain growth.

Did a little digging and sounds like it may be a Boskop skull. Havn't been able to pull a picture of a skull yet though. Might not be, of course.

Did a search for causes of enlarged skulls, most of it has to do with brain swelling.
Hydrocephalus especially, if the affected person is young, can cause the skull itself become misshapen.
