Starchild Skull

This weird looking skull is the famous Starchild Skull that was found in 1930. The Starchild Skull was discovered in a mine tunnel about 100 miles southwest of Chihuahua, Mexico along with several other normal skeletons.

Both radio carbon dating and DNA test have been performed on this skull and the tests have determined that the Starchild lived around 900 years ago and was a male child around the age of 4.5 to 5 years old.

There are several abnormalities with the skull of the Starchild. For instance the orbital cavities are oval and shallow, with the optic nerve canal located at the bottom of the cavity instead of at the back. There also seams to be no frontal sinuses and the back of the skull is flattened, but apparently not by any artificial means. However the most bizarre abnormality of the StarChild Skull is that it has an interior volume of 1600 cubic centimeters, which is 200 cubic centimeters larger than the average adult’s brain.

Currently the Starchild Skull is in the possession of writer and lecturer Lloyd Pye who came into possession of the skull in 1999.
