The zombie apocalypse may be much more than a plot device exploited by modern horror movies. In fact, fears about the walking dead may go back all the way to the Stone Age. 
 
Archaeologists working in Europe and the Middle East have recently unearthed evidence of a mysterious Stone Age “skull-smashing” culture, according to New Scientist. Human skulls buried underneath an ancient settlement in Syria were found detached from their bodies with their faces smashed in. Eerily, it appears that the skulls were exhumed and detached from their bodies several years after originally being buried. It was then that they were smashed in and reburied separate from their bodies.
 
According to Juan José Ibañez of the Spanish National Research Council in Barcelona, the finding could suggest that these Stone Age “skull-smashers” believed the living were under some kind of threat from the dead. Perhaps they believed that the only way of protecting themselves was to smash in the corpses’ faces, detach their heads and rebury them apart from their bodies.
 
But here’s the creepy thing: many of the 10,000-year-old skulls appear to have been separated from their spines long after their bodies had already begun to decompose. Why would this skull-smashing ritual be performed so long after individuals had died? Did they only pose a threat to the living long after their original burial and death?
 
If it was a ritualistic exercise, it also begs the question as to why only select corpses were chosen. All of the smashed skulls were from adult males between the ages of 18 and 30. Furthermore, there was no trace of delicate cutting. It appears that the skulls’ faces were simply smashed in using brute force with a stone tool.
 
Of course, there’s almost certain to be a rational explanation for all of this. Then again, it’s also fun to consider the possibility that these findings represent evidence for a Stone Age zombie uprising.

  • The evidence is all over the place. If you ask me it’s the reason the history of the human race has been deliberately concealed. I did months research on this and used only unimpeachable evidence. Researching and verifying every single link, averaged about 3 days per link. Its about 20,000 words and 3 parts plus appendix’s. Again if you ask me you’re a fool if you don’t read it. Start here:

  • Or read what is in the hidden texts regarding what we call “Men In Black” – the dead risen “along with the living” and much used by the Anu and those others from the direction of Orion.

  • The skinwalkers appear to be “escapees” from the “underword”. Were “stone age” people as superstitious as we are today? I suggest they were and suspect core “religious-moral” “values” predate Judaic prejudice significantly. Technologies appear to have been won and lost. Humans, rather than “evolving” appear to have been genetically modified apes at varying stages of development [as a species]. Therefore our “Gods” are unboutably physical and perhaps most unwelcome beings depending on their objectives by our “creation”.
