Otherworldly Phenomena The Starchild Skull Posted April 25, 2016April 25, 2016 Robert Bitto https://media.blubrry.com/3714357/mexicounexplained.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/StarchildSkull.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSSWe will examine a curious 900-year-old skull found in Mexico in the 1930s. It appears human-like with a bulging forehead, no brow ridges and a small mouth. At first glance it is otherworldly. Is the skull from an alien or alien/human hybrid or is it from a dwarf or child with an extreme medical condition? We will first look into the history of this skull, we will examine what makes it different from a normal human skull and then we will look into some of the scientific tests done on the skull to determine exactly what we are dealing with. So, where did this skull come from? During the 1930s a Mexican-American teenage girl from west Texas was visiting family members in the summer at a small village in the central part of the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Much as we see today, this girl’s family was truly bi-national, living in and visiting different sides of the border during most of the girl’s childhood. In one of those visits the girl went exploring on her own and came across an abandoned mine shaft. Inside the mine tunnel she discovered a human skeleton lying on its back and an arm bone sticking out of the dirt, with the hands of that arm bone wrapped around the upper arm of the exposed skeleton. The girl dug up the buried skeleton which she described as smaller than the exposed one and somewhat deformed. She gathered up all of the bones and hid them nearby. She had the intention of taking them back to the States, but left them in her hiding place until it was time for her to go back. Between her hiding of the bones and the time of her return to Texas, there had been a flash flood in the area that had washed away most of the bones but had left the two skulls. The misshapen skull was damaged, missing the jaw and most of the teeth. She took what she could back across the border and kept the skulls for the rest of her life. She had them stored in a garage and at one point she applied a varnish or clear shellac to the skulls, probably in an effort to preserve them. The girl – who would die well into her 70s – told the story of the skulls but a few times and could never recall the exact location or the town she had visited at the time of her discovery. Chihuahua is nicknamed El estado más grande, “the largest state”, by Mexicans and its terrain can be inaccessible and difficult to manage. The girl only knew that it was near the Barrancas del Cobre, known to the outside world as Copper Canyon, the largest canyon system in the world, in the remote Sierra Madre Occidental. When the discoverer of the skulls died in the mid-1990s, the skulls passed to friends, and eventually ended up in the hands of Melanie Young, a neonatal nurse from El Paso, Texas in 1998. Nurse Young approached several of her coworkers at the hospital where she worked to try to understand what medical condition could have caused the skull to be so deformed. Not one of her medical colleagues could give Melanie an adequate explanation as to what was responsible for the deformity and she could not rest without answers. That is when she contacted Lloyd Pye, a paranormal researcher who had just published a book titled, Everything You Know is Wrong – Book One: Human Evolution. From this meeting the “Starchild Project” was eventually formed in February of 1999 with Pye as its director. After getting assistance from his contacts in various medical fields, Pye began to suspect this Mexican skull had extraterrestrial origins. The initial tests on the skull discovered the basics: it is from a male, and the wear on its teeth would indicate that it is not of a child. The skull dates to around 1100 AD and is contemporary to the Mixtec and Zapotec kingdoms in the south of Mexico and the powerful Toltec Empire which dominated central Mexico at the time. Lloyd Pye identified 24 distinctive Starchild Skull anomalies which set it apart from a normal human skull (taken from the Starchild Project web site referenced below). 1 The bone is like no other bone on Earth. Its biochemical signature is much richer in collagen than regular bone. 2 The bone is uniformly half as thick, or less, than normal human bone. It is not thin in a specific area or areas due to abnormality, it is thin all over. 3 The skull itself weighs half as much as human skulls of comparable size. 4 The surface of normal human bone is covered with tiny holes called lacunae, which perform the vital function of replacing old bone cells with new ones. The Starchild bone shows virtually no lacunae. 5 Inside the bone are microscopic “fibers” that may act to reinforce and strengthen the bone. 6 All bone is like a sandwich with hard cortical bone on the outside and porous cancellous bone that looks like a sponge in the middle. The cancellous bone is w...
