I'm from Pennsylvania and i recall hearing a story about human skulls that were found on an archealogical dig in western pa. I was wondering if anyone had deeper insight to this or if this has happened anywhere else?

I know what you are talking about.It is in fact mentioned in a Reader's Digest book on unsolved mysteries.The Schertz Library has the book,I'd have to
look it up. What happend to them,I don't know.

I vaguely remember hearing about a find of human sculls that had horns, but it was reported that after exsamining them they were discovered to be fakes. Other than that i,ve not heard anything else about such a find.

This might be what you are talking about. http://stevequayle.c...orned.human.jpg

I thought this was in the UM photo gallery, but I could not find it there. I also remember the UM photo gallery having these photos revealed as fakes.

I surfed around (LOVE ask.com ), and found the site spanishhill.com, which talks about the archeological finds that have been made at that site in PA, including the 'Horned Skulls'. Evidently, there was only one skull with horns, and it was found to be an antler headdress.

I have stumbled on these on various sites and while a few questionable ones still say they were real i believe they are generally accepted to be fake, or at least misrepresented.

A previous discussion on a horned skull..

Mostly the references i can find are not very credible or other forums debating...

It seems there is very little reliable information to go on which makes me lean very much towards there being no real substance the story and that it is merely a hoax.

Misrepresented should be the highlighted word.


I feel it is quite possible that a skull could have been found with some sort of protrusion; however, humans with horns, (or tails for that matter), are not at all unknown to science. As a matter of fact, genetic deformity has only been recognized for a trivial amount of time in the human period for what it actually is. It is no stretch of the imagination for me to believe that such things as unicorns and griffins, werewolves, etc. can mostly be attributed to some sort of natural occurring deviation from the norm. Unknowing people, especially in primitive times would likely have had wildly diverse reactions to any such deformed creature they came into contact with.

There are quite simple easily arrived at explanations for most if not all of the world's mysteries if one has the patience to stand a little further back from what one is researching in order for the entire problem to be examined at once. Interdisciplinary research is imperative in these sort of endeavors if one wants to be taken seriously. Being taken seriously should not be the end justification though, the goal should always be personal enlightenment.

One more point, with the afflicted persons being such a small sampling of any population it would seem monumental that they were found at all.

Just my personal views.

Any actual photos?

even alexander the great had horns..hahahaha

[dest_titor1]

I say it was just a genetic flaw, a rare one.

The pic of Alexander reminds me of a thread somewhere on UM (I did a search but can't find it) where they are discussing how Moses had horns after he came down from the mountain with the Ten Comandments. Not sure if there is a connection.

I believe those "horns" on Moses are actually flames, misinterpreted because of the way the flames were mis/represented in sculptures.

Quote

When Jerome translated this passage into Latin the part about Moses’ face being radiant, or emanating rays of light was mistranslated as him having “protruding horns”.

nicely put

[smurf1971]

my mother was a nurse in the 1960 s and worked with a women who had horns.
not great big ram like things but boney growths coverd in skin. she had had operatins to try to
stop them but they always came back.
it is possibal that this genetic defect happend and was isolated in a small group
where these skeletons came from.
