Strange skulls

Interesting day - news-groups prompted to do some searching re: collection of `strange skulls' reports.

What turned up was reports of giant long-skulls in Malta, and the fact that they'd been withdrawn from public view for decades - almost as if the authorities are afraid of public knowledge or discussion of the subject (similarly the Russian authorities were afraid to reveal their `giant skulls' found in Siberia.

But more searching turned up two (disputed) photos and these old publications (which the Maltese authorities couldn't censor (out of print)

From http://archive.org/stream/maltamediterrane00bradrich/maltamediterrane00bradrich_djvu.txt `Malta and the Mediterranean Race' by R. N. Bradley - 1912
"I have also tried to show that the annihilation of the pre-Aryans is by no means established in fact, and that the long-headed race has not only endured, but its influence has been, and is, felt in a remarkable manner."

From http://www.archive.org/stream/nationalgeograph37natiuoft/nationalgeograph37natiuoft_djvu.txt NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE January to June, 1920 VOLUME XXXVII
"From an examination of the skeletons of the polished-stone age, it appears that the early inhabitants of Malta were a race of long-skulled people of lower medium height, akin to the early people of Egypt, who spread westward along the north coast of Africa, whence some went to Malta and Sicily and others to Sardinia and Spain."

And then accidentally came across a picture dated 1851

of a mummified fetus in Peru - which had a `long skull' - the interesting thing being that it _couldn't_ have been created by any artificial skull-binding method - so must have been genetic - i.e. a special breed of human (or something different?)
