- Archaeologists discovered a cube-shaped human skull at the Balcón de Montezuma site in Mexico.
- The skull belonged to a man aged about 40 years who lived over 1,000 years ago during the Mesoamerican Classic period (400–900 AD).
- Scientific analysis shows the skull shape was caused by intentional cranial deformation done in early childhood.
- Cranial deformation was achieved using boards and bandages to reshape the skull as it grew.
- The cube-shaped form is a rare and previously unreported style in the Mesoamerican region.
- The practice is linked to social identity, ritual beliefs, and cultural traditions of pre-Hispanic communities.
