Parents changed the shape of a child’s skull by binding it with cloth, rope, and boards. The child’s skull grew into a long shape because of this binding.
People call this act head flattening or head binding. It’s a way to change the human head on purpose.
Adults force the child’s skull to grow out of its normal shape. Different cultures chose and valued different shapes. Some cultures liked flat heads, while others liked round, cone-shaped, or long heads. They made long heads by pressing the skull between two pieces of wood. They created the round shapes by wrapping the skull in cloth.
