Human Skull

A UK auction house has withdrawn a 'Naga Human Skull' from its lots for a live online sale on Wednesday following outcry in India over the issue.

Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Tuesday sought the intervention of the Centre to stop a proposed auction of a "19th century horned Naga human skull" in the United Kingdom scheduled for Wednesday.

Children foraging for firewood outside Kabanga village near Mpigi town, made the grisly discovery on Monday. Police said residents told officers there were metallic boxes containing what appeared to be skulls buried in a shrine.

This vehicle was turned into a giant human skull and not just any skull - it is also smoking a cigarette. The eye sockets serve as the front view and besides one of the ear canals, is actually a door.

There was concern and worry across Damador Nagar locality in Kanpur on Wednesday after several skulls and bones were recovered from a vacant plot. The remains recovered from the plot appeared to be that of humans, police said.

"Based upon the observations of detectives on scene, the skull is believed to be that of a human," the sheriff's office said.

When authorities arrived at the scene to look into a claim of human remains in a cave, they discovered that the submerged skull was actually a plastic beer bong.

Arizona police launched an investigation after a human skull was found in a box of donated items at a Goodwill store.

Researchers discovered a number of curious items including pieces of three human skulls, 120 oil lamps, ancient pottery and weapons.

The authorities have linked the case with the nationwide Harvard morgue trafficking scheme.

A group of people found the skull floating in the Kalyan Sagar early in the morning and informed the authorities.

It took three attempts for Mr Mellen to break through his skull and achieve what he wanted.

The woman worked at Arkansas Central Mortuary Services, where part of her job was to transport, cremate and embalm remains.

Three persons were arrested on Thursday in connection with the recovery of wildlife body parts from Dumdum area in the northern fringes of the city, a senior forest official said.

The Bar Hill Comb will now be kept at the Cambridgeshire Archaeology Archive.
