Maria Wheatley has spent 10 years studying elongated skulls from British Neolithic long barrows (~6,000 years old) and found two distinct types: fully natural ones with unusual eardrums and ears set further back, plus others artificially shaped using the board method. The people were quite short at 4'9" to 5'. Fascinatingly, long barrows functioned as acoustic temples first, resonating at 1 Hz before becoming tombs!
Two types of elongated skulls identified in British long barrows
Key facts
- Maria Wheatley has studied elongated skulls of Britain for 10 years across multiple universities
- Two distinct types identified: 100% natural skulls and artificially deformed via the board method
- Natural skulls had eardrums different from modern humans and ears set further back
- Long barrows date back approximately 6,000 years to the Neolithic period
- People associated with the skulls were 4'9" to 5' tall
- Long barrows originally functioned as acoustic temples before becoming tombs, resonating at a 1 Hz frequency (discovered by Queen University and independent researchers)
- Brian Forester's research on Paracas Peruvian skulls shows a similar pattern of natural elongation followed by elite cranial deformation
- The Beaker culture later replaced this population and moved smaller stones into stone circles, though Neolithic people moved the heaviest stones
