150 Mummies of Ancient Unknown Civilisation Discovered in Atacama Desert

[Skywizard]

A team of archaeologists from universities in Poland, Peru and Colombia have discovered 150 mummies in the Atacama Desert belonging to an unknown culture that predate the Tiwanaku and Inca civilization by almost 500 years.
The bodies were mummified naturally by being buried directly in the sand with no stone structures, wrapped in cotton veils, reed mats or fishing nets, and radiocarbon dating shows that the oldest mummies came from 4th century AD, while the youngest mummies came from 7th century AD.

The Tiwanaku civilisation is believed to have existed between 500AD and 1,000 AD, covering much of what is Peru and Chile today. Under Project Tambo, the team have been excavating in the Tambo River delta in the northern region of the Atacama Desert since 2008 and the first mummies were found in 2012, but it took until March 2014 for the team to make major discoveries.

According to Professor Józef Szykulski, leader of the research project from University of Wrocław, the mummies are of virtually unknown people, and the bows are a particularly interesting find that possibly symbolised power, which could mean that people buried in the Tambo River delta were nobility or the society's elite.

Yeah, I wondered about that, too, and, sure enough, at the original article the caption on that photo says "A mummy in a curled up position, which seems to have an elongated skull." And that's it! Oh, ho hum, just another elongated skull. Nothing unusual here!
Kinda important since it might change the entire meaning of the burial site but not a single mention in the article. Typical.

alien's have been around for a very long time moving among us throughout history , and were worshipped as gods for their vast knowledge , size , and elongated skulls , which to me , makes me think they had full use of their brains as we only can access 10 percent ...ya know larger skull , larger brain , more thinking capacity , vast knowledge banks/storage ... kind of useful for building giant pyramids on sand that last forever, that haven't moved 1-10,000's of an inch in 73,000 years ... love this stuff...
