I think there were a variety of reasons but it all boiled down to making their people (tribe or royalty) different from other people in way that can't be faked. North native Americans used it to distinguish between tribe members since they were constantly at war with each it was very important to them to know if they were looking at a friend or a foe in a glance. Huns perhaps to make themselves look more fearsome. I think people realized you could shape skulls due to the deformations that came about from the common methods of caring for their babies in the old day pretty much worldwide. >The real elongated skulls have seams (sutures) that are different from any know human population and a larger brain capacity neither of which come from binding the skull. Multiple doctors have examined them and stated this. Quacks, literally quacks. >They are clearly a different humanoid species and they were admired in some way causing regular humans to want to look like them to also be admired. Not really but in actual fact what is now called a single species, man, is really multiple species but "muh science" is too chickenshit to admit this but cranial deformation is not because of a different hominid species in ancient times that had radically different skulls. You should take some intro philosophy classes and learn about logical thinking and maybe some classes on the scientific method. Or not, and keep hitting the bong while perusing the Flat Earth and Alien Abduction forums....
