Qiang people vertically grown teeth

Archaeologists have released a photograph of a skull found in an ancient tomb in Alaer (Aral) in Southern Xinjiang, China.  The skull shows an unusual characteristic in which the teeth are vertically oriented instead of horizontally.  In addition, the researchers have revealed that the skeleton recovered from the tomb measured a massive 2.3 metres (7 feet 6 inches). 

While there is little available information about the finding in English, researchers have said that skeleton is 4,000 years old and belonged to the Qiang people, an ethnic group of China who live mainly in mountainous region in the north-western part of Sichuan province on the eastern edge of the Tibetan plateau.
