The history of the discovery of male skulls in the Himalayas is mysterious and goes back centuries. Hundreds of male skulls have been found in Roopkund and Malari in Uttarakhand years ago, the mysteries of which are still unsolved. Now, a new cave full of skeletons has been discovered in Dharchula, Pithurgarh, on the Indo-Nepal border. This discovery will add a new chapter to the study of mysteries.
The cave is found near Garbiang village on the Dharchula to Adi Kailash Yatra route. Recently Frontpage Insights's team revealed to the world a cave located on inaccessible mountains. However, Swiss explorers had already mentioned caves with human skeletons here. But with the passage of time it was forgotten, now this mystery has once again surfaced.
Dwarfism may have skulls Historian Prof. According to Girija Pandey, this cave is said to have been prevalent in the area before Adi Shankaracharya reached the Himalayas in the eighth century. Traces of the religion of that time can be seen even today in the Himalayan regions. It is quite possible that these male skulls are part of the cremation process of humans in Vamana religion. Only after carbon dating, DNA analysis and other scientific studies can the secrets of these skeletons be revealed.
Male skull caves in villages across India too According to local people, there is a similar cave of male skulls on the hilltop about three km above the Indian village of Budi on the border. According to Tibet expert SS Pangati, cremations have thus been found at several places in the Darma of the cave and in the Vyas Valley. On the other hand, apart from Budi village, there are crematoria in caves and in areas like Pailspiti, Ralpa. But till date no scientist or research team could reach here. However, local people are aware of it.
In 1901, a skeleton was first claimed in the cave During the British period, Swiss explorers Arnold Haim and August Ganser traveled through this area and reached Taklakot in Tibet. In his 1905 book 'Western Tibet and British Borbar Land', there is a mention of this cave in Changru village which is claimed to contain human skeletons. It was only the people of Changru village who told him about this cave. But after that this cave got buried in the pages of history. Locals also associate this cave with the story of a curse.
