Step into the enigmatic world of the Chachapoya Cloud Warriors, who once reigned supreme over the misty cloud forests of northern Peru, and the ancient mysteries surrounding their culture and disappearance in a saga spanning over a thousand years. Recent archaeological findings from the fortress city of Kuelap and the cliffside necropolis at the Lagoon of the Condors, reveal bizarre funerary practices and architectural wonders shrouded in controversy.

This article attempts to unravel the many theories surrounding the secrets of the Chachapoya mummies, silent witnesses to a bygone era. Evidence of their bizarre funerary practices, architecture and cultural practices, all anomalous within pre-Columbian societies, have inspired several theories trying to understand where this culture originally originated.

this is an older picture but kenny is such a beautiful special boy check him out

#he has a very elongated skull for a cat that isn’t an asian shorthair #and even though his eye is missing he isn’t bothered and it makes him look extra unique #he looks like a living manekineko with his markings and that permanent wink of his #sometimes i think we should’ve named him ‘lucky’ with all the close calls he had when he was younger #haleylyfe #cats #pets

honestly when saiki says ‘do you prefer the bones on the right or the bones on the left? you can’t answer right because bones aren’t cute’ he’s so fuckinf wrong

 like babe your taste in the aesthetics of the macabre is simply just lacking for all you seem to revel in its comedy

#anyways its the bones on the right. obviously. #its just science a feline skull esp a housecats skull is more compact than a canid skull so the shape more closely resembles that of a human #infant which humans are hardwired to consider cute so much so that it seems to have affected some measure of beauty standards and the way we #breed other animals to favour large eyes domed foreheads small heads and compact faces :/ #the extent to which pareidolia endears us to inhuman objects cares not for the manner in which its presented - though some may be more #naturally squeamish around bones i suppose #certainly its not to suggest an exacting resemblance only that the shortness of the snout and the proportion of the eyes are closer than the #dog's which is more elongated with eyes set somewhat furhter #back. #ofc theres room for subjectivity but i do believe those studies done into what humans find cute would suggest a preference for the one over #the other in a generalized mean.

who would you kill w/ hammers given the chance?

Elon musk probably and also all of the billionaires. And then I would distribute their wealth!

#real talk tho I would probably never kill anyone with a hammer bc I hate the sound of the human skull being bashed in #that’s my least favorite thing in horror movies #talk to me #saw that recently (the new movie) and it was .. oof #good #scary #but the head trauma shit was a little much for me #fuck elon #elon musk #elon is an idiot #elongated muskrat

The 9,000 Year Old “Jericho” Skull

More Info In 1953, archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon, along with a group of six others, unearthed something very strange in the desert plains of Jericho – this 9,000 years old (7300 – 6300 BC Pre-Pottery Neolithic Period) elongated skull covered with some sort of plaster that features eye-sockets inlaid with cowrie shells. @ Ashmolean Museum Now on display at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and…

shhh i'm not late <3

ok so the next kh game is birth by sleep which is a game that has 3 (or 4 depending on how you count it) different story paths. i'm gonna tell you just one of them rn because i don't trust myself to explain all three in any sort of succinct manner <3

RIGHT SO

in this (part of the) game we play as a wonderful little lad named ventus. or, actually, i'm getting ahead of myself.

bbs opens with this quaint little shot of a wooden structure on a beach (on the world 'destiny islands') at night. there's a little bridge out to a small outcropping nearby, some nice trees, lovely white sand, plenty of spaces for little kids to run and play around on- oh, and some old dude in a black coat carrying... something wrapped in white cloth under his arm.

the cloak dude drops whatever it is he's carrying over one of the trunk of one of the trees and turns to leave. which is when we get to learn that the 'something' is a boy! a small, maybe 12-13 at best, catatonic boy. who is being left here to die.

yay!!!! kids game :DDD

anyways we cut to black very briefly before there's a flash of light. the boy gets to fall onto a completely whited-out heart station (i'll. explain those some other time) that's half fallen apart. there's another flash of light and then the broken side begins to repair itself.

back out in the physical world, the boy lifts his hand, summons a keyblade, and shoots a light off into the sky. this, understandably, makes the man turn around.

we then cut to four years in a world known as 'the land of departure' later where we pan across a mildly messy room till we find our beach boy again. this boy's name is, again, ventus, though he goes by ven. and, more importantly, there's a meteor shower happening outside.

ven bolts out of his room and down to the cliffside to watch said meteor shower and is intercepted by his two friends, terra and aqua. the friends have a (expositional) chat, have a brief (tutorial) sparring match, and then aqua pulls out three star charms she calls 'wayfinders'.

these wayfinders are based on the paopu fruit that grows on destiny islands which is also something i'll explain more later. all you really need to know right now is that the fruit are star-shaped and supposedly if you share one with someone your souls will be forever 'bound together' or whatever.

regardless, the friends each take their glass charms, hold them up to the night sky, and then a rather ominous voice-over line from all three of them cheerfully tells us that this 'was the last night [they'd] ever spend under the same stars'.

we then cut to the next day! now, today is a very special day because today aqua and terra are taking a test called 'the mark of mastery' to become keyblade masters. this test consists of smacking some large, glowing, made of light(?) orbs and then fighting in a 1v1 duel.

in the end, aqua passes and becomes a master while terra is told he has too much darkness in his heart and that he'll have to try again some other time. terra is, very understandably, bummed out by this.

ven tries to comfort him, gets brushed off, and decides to go back to his room. where there's a lovely, cryptic, ominous masked figure waiting for him who tells him that terra is leaving him behind. ven runs all the way outside just in time to watch terra, fully suited up in his keyblade armour (that's a thing. dw about it) turn his keyblade into a bike (dw about it) and blast off through a portal.

ven sees all of this go down and then, like the protagonist he is, takes the smart option. of immediately also suiting up, turning his own keyblade into a bike, and then blasting off as well, despite aqua, who recently came out of the building herself, yelling at him to wait.

then we get disney world adventures. they aren't really important to the plot. like, yeah, ven leaves the wooden practice keyblade he got from terra in a treasure chest on the peter pan world and he gets to run around the size of a mouse for some reason in the cinderella world and he fights the masked boy, gets his ass beat, and then gets saved by micheal mouse dropping in out of the blue who then gives him three passes to disney world. but like. y'know.

anyways more actual plot happens in a world called 'radiant garden' where ventus meets several familiar-looking characters that you have no idea of who they are. and fuck it, i'm gonna tell you their names cause they're important later: ienzo (a literal child. no really he's like 8 tops), even (one of the royal scientists), aeleus (one of the royal guards), dilan (another guard), lea (a kid around ven's age (16)), and isa (another kid who's ~16). remember them for later there will technically be a quiz. in the loosest sense of the word.

ANYWAY. ven, aqua, and terra then all finally meet up again, fight a big unversed together (oh, right, in this game the enemies are unversed. not heartless. for... reasons. i'll explain that later too.), and then ven gives them his two extra disney world passes. terra tells ven to watch out for the masked boy, whom he calls vanitas, tells ven to go home and then leaves. ven has a talk with aqua who also tells him to go home and then she leaves to. ven wallows for a bit, has a talk with the aforementioned lea and isa and then sets out for more disney adventures.

we successfully avoid the plot for another few worlds (minus the bit about ven still trying to cath up with terra and aqua) until ven sorta-accidentally steals mickey's questionable teleportation device and gets dumped off at yen sid's tower. this dumps him right back into the plot as he sets off looking for mickey, winds up in a desert place, and crosses paths witha very evil-looking old man named master xehanort.

this is important because the combination of everything that's happened over the past few days, the location, and the appearance of xehanort lead to ven having a very plot important flashback.

so. ventus used to be the apprentice of master xehanort until he got fed up with ven's good boy-ness and forcibly ripped his heart in two - one half pure light, one half pure dark. the pure light half became ven, who was then dumped on a beach, and the pure dark hal became (drumroll please) vanitas! who master xehanort continued to teach over the past 4 years. the reason this is important is because xehanort wants to fuse the two of them back together to make the..... χ-blade. χ being the greek letter 'chi'.... pronounced 'key'..... :))))

ven, upon learning this news, goes back to the land of departure where he runs across his current teacher, master eraqus (voiced by luke skywalker. i'm being serious.) who... uh... makes a questionable choice and upon also learning this information, attempts to kill ven. he's stopped by terra showing up, blocking his attack, and then fighting him for trying to, y'know, murder one of his friends. he summons a portal and tosses ven through it, despite ven's best efforts to get them to stop fighting.

ven and vanitas then have a fun little chat when vanitas tries to get ven to fuse with him and ven pointedly tells him 'no. the only way we'd forge the keyblade is if we fought. and i refuse to fight you.'

and then everybody heads over to the keyblade graveyard to have their final fight. (uh. yeah. so you remember khux? how there was that big war? yeah,, the keyblade graveyard is the battlefield where all that remains is a bunch of keyblades stuck in the ground after their owners... er. yeah. kids game.)

ven, very tired with the whole situation, tells his friends that if (when) he and vanitas fight and they fuse to just "put an end to [him]". so he's doing great.

and then vanitas and xehanort show up and they have a big, long, dramatic fight. ven gets frozen trying to help terra and dropped off a cliff, barely surviving. then he fights vanitas once in the physical world, and once in their hearts as they fuse together.

the χ-blade is briefly formed before ven defeats vanitas, accidentally shattering their heart along with the χ-blade in the process, and sending ventus into a coma.

his(/thier) heart zips back over to destiny islands to heal up by latching back onto the heart that healed ven's heart 4 years ago. and boy, wouldn't you guess it, the kid whose heart that is might be slightly important for the rest of the series. just a hunch though. i mean it's just some random kid named sora.

and yeah that about wraps up ven's part of bbs, see you at some point for terra's part! <3

wait hold on

THE KEYBLADES TURN INTO MOTORCYCLES???????

#snowflakesandlemons #ask #don't worry i did in fact (mostly) process most of this ask #but i felt my cartoon eyes elongate out of my skull when i realized that it's just an established fact the keyblades are also motocycles #but i am now starting to understand why the xehanort multiple people who are not the same people #gets so fucking wild #like the microsteps theoretically can be understood by my tiny brain but once the big pictures im just #maybe the real xehanort was the friends we made along the way

In the misty annals of Viking history, tales of conquest and exploration often overshadow the subtler nuances of daily life. Yet, recent archaeological revelations from Sweden's Baltic Sea island of Gotland have illuminated a lesser-known aspect: Viking body modification.

Through the careful examination of skeletal remains, a fascinating tapestry of cultural practices emerges, offering a glimpse into the intricate web of social identities and customs that defined the Norse people during the Viking Age. From elongated skulls to tooth filing, these ancient rituals not only adorned the physical form but also served as markers of status and belonging.

Elongated skulls are found all across the universe as well as on earth in many ancient civilizations. Coincidence?

im gonna rip myself in half if i get anything lower than a 70 on this assignment

#outlines confuse for no reason other than i'd rather just write my essay out the gate #and needing ten sources half of which need to be primary has been too difficult #finding primary sources on ancient body modification is so annoying all i can think to use are pics of elongated skulls #and women with lip plates

[casuallyceltic]

I’m sure someone has talked about this but I’m just tickled by the concept of local people knowing something freaky is around and not really, like, thinking about it until some explorer brings it up and the locals are like “Oh, yeah, that.”

#Carson chatters #A video about skull elongation brought this up lol

[kungseyesfr]

The elongated skulls have been found all around the world 🌍 makes me wonder if they were an ancient intelligent race. Who brought civilisation to the human hunter gatherers before they died out completely.
