Reason for the flat HEAD OF KING TUT.
We're back in the Human Evolution Lab with Dr. Robert Martin, who serves as curator emeritus of human evolution here at the Field Museum. Today, our focus will be on the practice of artificial head binding in ancient Egypt. So, Bob, could you start by explaining what artificial head binding entails? Absolutely. Throughout various cultures, we observe practices like foot binding in China, which leads to permanent physical changes. Typically, these practices are associated with the elite or specific groups in society. In the context of head binding, individuals intentionally shape a baby's skull from birth using various methods. This might involve placing a band across the crown or binding from front to back. A baby's skull is malleable during the first few years of life, but after that, its shape becomes relatively fixed, creating a distinctive appearance for life. EG: Is this achievable because the baby's cranial bones are not fused together at birth? Yes, exactly. The critical aspect is that if you examine a skull just before birth, humans have fontanelles, which are gaps in the skull.

The Tower of Babel
The Tower of Babel: A Lesson in Human Pride and Divine Intervention Tower of Babel, in biblical literature, structure built in the land of Shinar (Babylonia) some time after the Deluge. The story of its construction, given in Genesis 11:1–9, appears to be an attempt to explain the existence of diverse human languages. According to Genesis, the Babylonians wanted to make a name for themselves by building a mighty city and a tower “with its top in the heavens.” God disrupted the work by so confusing the language of the workers that they could no longer understand one another. The city was never completed, and the people were dispersed over the face of the earth.

One of the best-known variants of the legend has as a starting point the events during the United States War of Independence. It is said that a Hessian rider, a member of the German mercenary troops employed by the British, was beheaded during a battle near a small village. After his brutal death, the Hessian rider could not find peace. Legend has it that on Halloween night he rose from the grave in search of his lost head and revenge against those who had disturbed his rest. With his metal helmet and an absent face, he rides on a spectral horse, bringing fear and horror wherever he goes.
