The story of the Sealand Skull is quite new. The Skull was discovered in 2007 in the small Danish town of lstykke on the Danish island of Sealand. The individual who discovered it was a contractor hired to rebuild the property’s outdated sewer lines.
The first discovery was taken with a grain of salt and misidentified as a horse’s skull. The previous owner of the property was a horse butcher, and equine bones were said to be buried in the back garden. It wasn’t until the skull was cleaned that it was discovered how valuable it could have been.
Origins of the skull
Initially, the finding earned barely a few sentences in the local newspaper. Whatever the exact origins of the skull are, the fact that it has garnered so little attention is a mystery in and of itself.
It wasn’t until 2010 that a significant study was attempted. Scientists at the College of Veterinary Medicine examined the skull more closely and came to the conclusion that the skull’s mystery could not be solved to their – or anyone’s – satisfaction.
They have no idea what kind of animal the skull belonged to. They did reach one conclusion: despite its resemblance to a mammal, it could not be classed as one by the Linnean Taxonomy because of “certain traits.”
After no further progress was made, the skull was delivered to the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Scientists here, like their Veterinarian counterparts, were unable to reveal details about the skull, but they did make a vital discovery. According to carbon dating analyses, the skull was over a thousand years old.
According to estimations, the entity lived between 1200 and 1280. In terms of authenticity, that should be enough to rule out any possibility of a forgery. Further exploration of the site turned up no additional artifacts, presenting the intriguing question of where the rest of the skeleton is.
Differences between skulls
Perhaps the discovery of the skull contains a hint. According to rumor, it was discovered above the pipes. Perhaps whoever dumped the skull did so during the last two decades. The skull, as well as the yet-to-be-discovered skeleton, could have been preserved in places as diverse as Paris, Munich, and the Balkans.
Some say that is where the skull came from in the first place. Previous generations of residents told about a Neolithic clan known as L’Ordre Lux P Pégasos, or the Order of Pegasus Light.
These people were said to be the keepers of a number of precious items, including a bizarre skull.
Although nothing is known about this society, it was said to have been founded in 1350 and to have had members such as Shakespeare, H.G. Wells, and Thomas Jefferson.
Significant differences between the Sealand Skull and a conventional human skull are immediately apparent. In addition to being substantially larger, the Sealand Skull has larger eye sockets that are deeper set and have a more rounded orbital shape.
Similarly, the sockets are larger and less concentrated than in humans. The creature’s nostrils are smaller, and its chin is narrower. The Sealand Skull also has a smooth surface, which could indicate that it was adapted to or habituated to a cooler climate. It was also probable that it was nocturnal in nature.
As more research is conducted on the skull, an increasing number of people are convinced that it is the skull of an extraterrestrial biological species that died millennia ago and was deposited here for whatever reason.
Was it a scout or a colonist from another planet, perhaps within the Pegasus constellation? Could it have been a previously unknown human species that has eluded discovery for millennia? If the rest of the skeleton is discovered, it will answer many questions… and raise many more.
