Initial DNA analysis of Paracas elongated skull released – with incredible results
An elongated skull found in Paracas

Paracas is a desert peninsula located within the Pisco Province in the Inca Region, on the south coast of Peru. It is here were Peruvian archaeologist, Julio Tello, made an amazing discovery in 1928 – a massive and elaborate graveyard containing tombs filled with the remains of individuals with the largest elongated skulls found anywhere in the world. These have come to be known as the ‘Paracas skulls’. In total, Tello found more than 300 of these elongated skulls, which are believed to date back around 3,000 years. A DNA analysis has now been conducted on one of the skulls and expert Brien Foerster has released preliminary information regarding these enigmatic skulls.
It is well-known that most cases of skull elongation are the result of cranial deformation, head flattening, or head binding, in which the skull is intentionally deformed by applying force over a long period of time. It is usually achieved by binding the head between two pieces of wood, or binding in cloth. However, while cranial deformation changes the shape of the skull, it does not alter its volume, weight, or other features that are characteristic of a regular human skull.
The Paracas skulls, however, are different. The cranial volume is up to 25 percent larger and 60 percent heavier than conventional human skulls, meaning they could not have been intentionally deformed through head binding/flattening. They also contain only one parietal plate, rather than two. The fact that the skulls’ features are not the result of cranial deformation means that the cause of the elongation is a mystery, and has been for decades.

Mr. Juan Navarro, owner and director of the local museum, called the Paracas History Museum, which houses a collection of 35 of the Paracas skulls, allowed the taking of samples from 5 of the skulls. The samples consisted of hair, including roots, a tooth, skull bone and skin, and this process was carefully documented via photos and video. Samples from three skulls were sent to the geneticist, although the geneticist was not given any information about what they came from until after the genetic testing, so as not to create any preconceived ideas.
The results of a DNA analysis of one of the skulls are now back, and Brien Foerster, author of more than ten books and an authority on the ancient elongated headed people of South America, has just revealed the preliminary results of the analysis. He reports on the geneticist’s findings:
It had mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) with mutations unknown in any human, primate, or animal known so far. But a few fragments I was able to sequence from this sample indicate that if these mutations will hold we are dealing with a new human-like creature, very distant from Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans.
The implications are of course huge. “I am not sure it will even fit into the known evolutionary tree,” the geneticist wrote. He added that if the Paracas individuals were so biologically different, they would not have been able to interbreed with humans.
The result of this analysis is only phase one of many phases of analysis due to take place. The next tests will involve having the initial test replicated, and conducted on other skulls, so that the results can be compared to see if there are any specific Paracas characteristics. We will update when more details emerge.

Absolutely shocking Peruvian archaeologist and researchers found strange elongated skull in a massive graveyard containing tombs filled with the remains of individuals. Amazing discovery by them , has revealed that they may not have come from humans, but from a completely new species. Interesting these skulls are such a mystery, have yet to conclude the findings. Recording to reports on the geneticist’s findings said that it’s from a completely new human-like creature. Aliens do exist and we are not alone on this planet.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
Look up the word Nephilim
Amazing discovery a massive graveyard containing tombs filled with the remains of individuals with elongated skulls. Researchers called them as Paracas Skulls which were about 3000 years old. Because of the origin biologist and researchers began working on a scientific understanding and explanation to these ancient Paracas Elongated Skulls. Some of their initial DNA analysis has revealed that they may not have come from humans. The possibility of the discovery of a new species, extraterrestrial in origin . All this might prove long ago aliens do exist and we are not alone on this planet. Sounds interesting.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.
I bumped into this article accidentally and really find it very interesting and amazing discovery about this skull. I always find history and archaeology very intriguing. Interesting pictures too. Thank you Rinpoche and blog team for this great article for a change ??
Hi, a quick and easy Google search will dispel any thought that this stuff is true, try the one from Doubtful News .com and read the objections and who is trying to pull off this stuff.
Dear Rinpoche,
Thanks for sharing this interesting article. In fact I do believe that there are Alien out there. And i think they have been here in this earth long before we here- Maybe.
The human tribe that have intentionally alter their skull, maybe is due to the their ancestor have seen the Alien, human tends to mimic something which is greater than them in order to looks like them and feel superior.
Thank you
Yours humble student,
Freon
Another new discovery!
Rinpoche’s blog really opens up many avenues rather than just Dharma alone. It gives us room to contemplate certain happenings in and around the world.
I always believed that fairy tales are not fictional tales but rather something familiar and depicted into children’s stories or folklore. We may have hundreds of years ago able to see, interact with many other beings and races… but somewhere down the road, maybe our chakras are blocked or we have closed up our minds to those beings, hence not able to see, sense or interact with them anymore.
Anyway, this article reveals that many more beings lived with us on this planet. Who knows… maybe related to even Mr. Big Foot.
Thank you.
