Really? What kind of idiot could even try to relate these elongated skulls to craniosynostosis. Have you ever seen someone with craniosynostosis because they definitely do not develop perfectly symmetrical elongated skulls, and it generally causes "diminished intellectual capacity" or sometimes even retardation (but only in serious cases). However, if these elongated skulls could be attributed to this, then these would be serious cases that would have affected their brain development. Let me remind you that the same pharaoh’s that built the Great Pyramids are believed to have these elongated skulls, as well as the rulers of ancient Mayan civilization (and many other rulers/royalty of ancient civilizations around the world). It is ridiculous to believe that someone without ingenious intelligence would be capable presiding over the civilizations that built the Great Pyramids of Egypt or the Mayan stepped pyramids, especially when neither of these cultures should have had the technology required to do something of that magnitude. Surely, there has to be some other explanation for the connection between elongated skulls and royalty than that of a genetic disorder, especially when those who had them were capable of accomplishing so much. I am not saying that these elongated skulls were not passed on genetically (but rather quite the opposite), but I do not believe that they could be attributed to a genetic disorder. I am merely pointing out that their elongated skulls would allow them to have a cranial capacity that was larger than modern day humans, which would obviously denote bigger brains. Psychology is still yet to develop any laws regarding intelligence and brain size, however studies have shown that there are definite relationships between brain size and IQ. Although it is difficult for people (including myself) to believe, it cannot be ruled out that it is possible that there were some people in ancient civilizations that had intellectual ability that was superior to even modern day humans. If you think this is impossible, then research some of the things these incredible civilizations did (such as the Mayan calendar) without the use of any of the advanced technology we take for granted today.
