It wasn't discovered by Indiana Jones and it isn't crystal, but an elongated skull that is as long as the 20-inch body it belongs to is raising interest after it was discovered in Peru.
According to a report from The Sideshow, the remains of the unidentified "creature" was described as having a "triangle-shaped" skull and was at first believed to have been a child with a misshapen head, but according to a news report, anonymous Russian and Spanish scientists claim the remains belong to an extraterrestrial being. While the discovery of the skull seems to be a somewhat real-life version of the popular movie "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" in which archaeologist-adventurer Indiana Jones sets off to solve the mystery of similar triangular-shaped skulls in South America, the end result in the movie is that the crystal skulls are indeed not of this world.
As far as the most recent bone skull in Peru? No word yet on its origins.
The strange skull in Peru isn't the only recent odd bone discovery. South America appears to be full of mystery of the skeletal kind.
In Chile's Atacama Desert -- the driest spot on Earth -- scientists have discovered the fossilized bones of over 75 prehistoric whales. In another report from The Sideshow, scientists believe that the whales beached themselves on the Pacific coast of South America over 2 million years ago.

I understand there were tribes that would bind their heads to make them narrower and longer. weird.
any pics of the skull or other finds mentioned in the article?
In my mind, the beaching of whales 2 million years ago makes it much more likely this skull is of an alien. What a weird article.
This stuff really cracks me up.
I would be interested to see if one of those teeth had some DNA left in it. Odd mutation even if complicated by skull binding. The skull size compared to body would have made a difficult birth and unlikely survival.
Looks like a dog skull that had been binded. Either that, or they found Ron Paul’s grand pappy.
We're laughing together.
Advanced aliens travel light years across the galaxy to make circle patterns in English wheat fields, surgically eviscerate beef cattle and give certain hapless humans exotic high-tech anal probes. Yeah, it has to be space aliens all right!
Plus, aliens are perverts!
At least one tribe did that I know of. They were called the Flat Head tribe by White men, I don't know the Indian name for their tribe, perhaps some other FReeper does know.
Sunken would know, he knows everything.
I think the Incan aristocracy used to do that...
I wonder if brain damage was worse than not being able to walk? (the bound women of China did their feet)
