Plastered human skulls

Okay kiddo, so have you ever heard of plaster before? It's a type of material that can be molded into different shapes and then it hardens into a solid form. Well, sometimes a long, long time ago, people would take the skulls of human beings and cover them in plaster to create a new shape for the skull.

Now you might be wondering why on earth would anyone do this? Well, back in the old days, people used to think that the shape of someone's head could tell them things about that person. They thought that certain shapes meant certain things, like if a person had a very pointy head, then they were very smart.

So people would take the skulls of people who had died and plaster them to create a new shape. This new shape might've been more desirable for some reason, either because they thought it would make the person look better or because they thought it would make them seem smarter or more important.

Sometimes these plastered skulls were used as decorations or as a way for people to remember their loved ones who had passed away. But nowadays, we don't really do this kind of thing anymore. We know that the shape of someone's head doesn't really tell us much about them, and we don't believe in changing the natural shape of a person's skull.
