What Is Skull Binding?

The question is, “What is Skull Binding?

I read an article about an ancient woman’s remains that’s estimated to be around 2,000 years old that had being discovered in central Russia’s Chelyabinsk region.

Scientists have dismissed the idea that this new discovery was of an alien female and suggest that her elongated skull was due to it being tied up.

Apparently this is what the tribes did to the children in those days. However there is no mention of any other remains found or if the same was done to the males.

Is it possible that the skull could be elongated at the time of birth whilst the babies’ soft spot on the head is still visible?

But wouldn’t the force of binding incur pain to the infant and possibly damage the brain if the skull was bound to elongate it?

Centuries ago Chinese women and young girls had their feet bound that kept them small. So with this in mind I don’t completely understand how a head becomes elongated and longer rather than smaller and shorter if bound?

The other thing that puzzles me is how do they know that this actually took place, are there records on this ancient tribe?

With no mention of rope or material fibres found should we believe everything we read?

What do you think?
