Strange, Archaeologists Discover Human Skull Shaped Like a Heart, How is that Possible?

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Researchers from the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico (INAH) recently discovered an astonishing skull at the La Ferreria site in the State of Durango, located in the northwestern region of Mexico."

In the latest excavation process at the Casa Colorada architectural complex, archaeologists successfully discovered the remains of 16 individuals. As reported by Newsweek, researchers stated that the skulls seemed to have been intentionally shaped into a heart shape.

In the latest discovery, experts have identified eight adult skeletons believed to be in the age range of 30 to 40 years old at the time of their death.

Meanwhile, the remaining skeletons include children aged between 1 and 7 years old. Most of these skeletons are scattered separately, but there are three adult skeletons that were found in good condition.

"Modified Heart Shape."

"In the two skulls of the skeleton, researchers found signs of modifications that indicate that the shape of the two heads was intentionally altered. The modifications on these skulls resulted in a shape that resembles a heart when viewed from a certain angle."

Although there have been no previous reports about this discovery on the archaeological site, modifying the shape of the skull is a practice that has been recorded in various ancient cultures around the world, including Mesoamerica, which includes the regions of Mexico and Central America. In some limited areas of the world, this practice is still carried out today.

The growth of the skull bones is directed through the application of pressure, which can be achieved through various techniques, such as binding the head between two wooden objects. This technique is applied since infancy because during that time the skull has the tendency to be easily shaped.

As reported by Newsweek, INAH stated that La Ferrería was inhabited by pre-Hispanic communities around 600-1350 AD. The place has many famous remains, such as circular ritual sites, pyramid structures, and a ball game court.

"For Burial."

The complex, which refers to the period 600-950 AD, is located on the peak of La Ferrería and covers an area of 6,500 square feet. Through previous excavations, various burials were found inside the building, leading archaeologists to conclude that these spaces were dedicated to burial purposes.

This archaeological zone, which is located about 4 miles south of the city of Durango, is one of the most important monumental sites in the state.
