Countless mysteries are hidden in the womb of the earth. Just when we think that we have come to discover things far ahead, then something comes out of this womb that destroys all our claims. Something similar has happened this time also. If you are asked when cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery started, your answer would probably be a few years ago. But during excavations in Sweden, scientists have found some skeletons which prove that cosmetic surgery was done even 1000 years ago.
Don’t be surprised, it is true. According to the Daily Mail report, a team of German scientists has found three long skulls from an archaeological site in Sweden. These show that 1000 years ago, women of the Viking Age had to undergo cosmetic procedures. These skulls were very soft and flexible. This also proves that these must have belonged to young women. Scientists believe that perhaps the women of that era might have undergone such surgeries to enhance their beauty, so that their skulls could be lengthened.
Women’s skulls were changed in childhood itself
Although many evidences have been found about surgery even before this, but for the first time, evidence of cosmetic surgery in women of the Viking Age shows how much richer science would have been at that time compared to today. Mathias Toplak, head of the team of researchers, told Atlas Obscura, we do not know where these three women were from. Where did she grow up and where was this surgery done on her head? But one thing is 100 percent true that even at that time the process of cosmetic surgery was done. The skeletons clearly show that the women’s skulls were replaced in childhood itself, when the bones of their heads were soft enough. To elongate the head, bandages were kept wrapped around the baby’s head.
People with long heads are considered beautiful
Jesse Goldstein, head of the Department of Pediatric Plastic Surgery, believes that it might have been disastrous. Because if this method was adopted, it could have a negative impact on the functioning of the brain. Especially if this has been done to a child. However, other researchers do not believe so. They say that people with long heads look more beautiful. He is also considered knowledgeable. This is not just from today, it has been going on for a long time. Maybe you have been thinking this since that time. The deities worshiped by people in the Pacific island of Vanuatu had long skulls and noses. This thinking is quite old even in Australia.
