HISTORICAL CONTEXT:

(The Paracas elongated skulls are one of the most intriguing and mysterious archaeological finds in Peru. These skulls date back approximately 3,000 years, to the pre-Columbian period.

The skulls exhibit a cranial deformation that makes them longer and narrower than normal human skulls. This deformation was achieved through bandages and cranial modeling practices from childhood, and was a common practice among the nobility as a form of distinction.
