The Israeli archeological expedition led by Professor Haim Rasmona three seasons in succession to work on the ruins of settlements Subeyta. Archeologists have collected a wealth of material relating to the Bronze Age. But the most interesting finding was waiting for them in the lower layers of the excavations. There, archaeologists have found human skeletons, skulls which were ... horn!
Horn kept firmly on the turtle so that specialists puzzled: they grew up naturally, or were once vzhivleny?
In the old days on the earth lived mutants.
Several earlier, at the very end of the XIX century, in the district of Bradford, Pennsylvania, a scientific expedition, under the leadership of historian J. Donahyu dig an earthen mound. Inside, as expected, it was an ancient mass grave. Judging from the skeleton had been buried by these giants, their average growth was more than two meters! However, most researchers have struck the skull: a few of them on the sides were decent sized bone growth!
... The ancient belief that the strength and fecundity are concentrated exclusively in the horns. Maybe so much of divine worship surrounded rams and bulls. Many nations horn - a real or made of gold - a holy vessel used during religious ceremonies. Io ?, the chief Roman god, often represented with horns, like Ieisa, the Egyptian god of fertility. When Alexander
Great beat proclaimed son of Zeus, he ordered that from now on all of its depiction of Monet were a horn. In the iconography of the head of Moses was often decorated with horns. Many Masters of helmets hung on the horns as a symbol of power.
However, after painstaking research and comparing the facts, experts and ?Palm Gro-uvskogo University (Oklahoma) came to the conclusion that in the period from IV to VI century in Europe, most people were ... horny!
According to professvra Benjamin Gluck, virtually all of the adult population in Europe was a horn. It expresses a lot of still unexplained facts.
Warriors in ancient times was considered to be only one who could boast of a thickness and hardness of their bony outgrowth. From his childhood in boys raised the pride of their own horns. To lose them, even in battle was seen as a loss of honor for the family, and such persons became a pariah. He trusted the most dirty work on the house: washing pots, make dirt, to look after children ...
These people are in the submission of horned soldiers were worse than women, and to greet the street with a poll meant to become them. Then people began to exit poll from the cities and to organize their independent settlements, which were engaged in farming and herding. When the warriors of the great cities were sent to a campaign, their wives from a lack of attention went to the poll. Then there's the expression "horny husband." "Кактам our horny? All fights?" - "War ..." - Meet the woman, as a lover.
By the middle of VII century, in Europe, almost no single horned man. But the fact remains outstanding small size of this kind finds. It would seem that there should be much greater. The answer is simple. At the time the ritual of burial is not allowed to bury a man with horns. They had to carefully remove and burn the sacrifice the gods. Otherwise, according to the priests, the soul can not free itself, and was doomed to wander forever in the world of the living.
Shut the French prince.
Human horns are similar in structure to the horns of animals. The reason for their appearance - forced epidermalnoi proliferation of tissue in a certain area of the skin. The cells multiply and zagustevayut until a tubercle.
Most of these horns are lifelong minimum size, but the stories are cases when they reach 30 cm or more. This outgrowth is often disposed of surgeons. Operations are complicated, only what had to remove a section of skin from which the horn grows.
In the history of many famous horned males and females. In the Middle Ages, and closer to our times, when various urodtsev, it was shown in all balaganah and circuses, "Roháč" come across completely and a number.
Thus, in the XVI century, the son of a poor peasant named Francois in the five-year age Nabiel his forehead bumps, but that over time has not disappeared, but grew up in this horn! When the horn was increased to 30 inches and have no hat could not hide him, the boy took to himself one of the French princes, and made his jester.
In the XVII century in England, lived Margaret Griffith, who also was at the center of the forehead 20-cm horn, which was up to the death, followed by the sixtieth year of her life. At the same time in the English county Lestershir lodged Mary Davis, who has lived all his life with two "mutton" horns on his head.
The French press has written about some of Madame De-Manche, who lived in Paris in the early XVII century. Her horn growing from his forehead, and then zagnulsya down to the chin. At the age of 84 years, she decided to cut it, knowing that soon will die, and not wishing to appear before the Lord with satanic ornament on her head.
Already in the XIX century, French historian Colleen De Plansi detailed horned monk from the monastery of St. Justin.
Do not knock his head on the wall.
It would seem that the time has long passed into oblivion, and today people horned afternoon with fire not syschesh.
But ... Recently Kovelskaya district hospital, in the Volyn region, a surgeon removed a 76-year old
16-cm horn. He rose to the hair of the head right, and reminded the sheep. In this operation an elderly woman decided, was desperate to get rid of the scourge of their own: the horn came a decade ago, and if the husband twice a year does not cut off it, it is not known to what would be the size it vymahal.
A horn is in the place of head, where a woman her once hurt, stuknuvshis in the dark lbom the wall. While he was a kid, he managed to hide from people, but when grown to the size of that stopped to help a poor woman scarves husband decided to experiment. Hot steel wire and ... cut off the horn, so to speak, under the root. Ill, itch, and then priutihlo. And then suffering renewed when it became clear that the horn continues to grow.
All these years, her husband and his wife struggled with a scourge could, in secret from neighbors and friends who are not yet convinced that without the intervention of doctors with no trouble coping.
"This is a very rare disease - told reporters Ivan Emets making poor patient surgery. - I showed it to precancerous conditions. However, studies have shown that the God of old is still mercy - has not had the horn reborn in malignant education.
Another horny people live in Ulan-Ude. "Horn I had, but I have to remember - says Andrew, who urged local journalists to interview a few months. - Each year, remove them by surgery, but they grow again. The last operation was last spring, and here again ..."
In the mind of Andrew - excrescent about 5 cm in height, similar to the familiar cones each. Since the only difference, that are located on the top pair are surrounded by scar.
"It was nothing, until the hair did not thin out. In general, the doctors explained to me that these attractions are not hazardous to my health. The problem only in human terms. Laugh: the wife, then tried to! Or hell remember. Once drank with a friend - he and saw. nicker to exhaustion, but to me what? "
Head of medical genetic laboratory, medical geneticist, Valentina Tsyrenova on this occasion said: "The most common cause of such genetic disorders - the adverse conditions of environment and heredity. Annually Buryatiya registered 150 cases of congenital genetic disorders in newborns. This extra fingers, elongated coccyx (tails), increased hairiness, girls - extra breast. from such mutations, as a reversion to type, almost no one is safe ... "
And nowhere - should be added. In India, for example, is now home to the whole family, all of whom are rogonostsami. And while no one will not alter and adultery are not thinking, a grandfather, father and two daughters on the head there is a fairly large horny outgrowth.
Recently, the Indian city Dzhodpur doctors removed one of the daughters semisantimetrovye horns, which she to this day sport. This atypical operation took just fifteen minutes.
The whole blame hormones?
An interesting case reported in the United States. One chilly December afternoon, аккурат under the Catholic Christmas, the clinic contacted the city of Pittsburgh, Peter Deynver, an accountant. He slowly lifted his hat from the head, and dazed by her therapist found ... small horns.
Peter explained that there are not immediate. At first he felt uncomfortable sensation, pruritus. It seemed that the skin formed some kind of crust. I decided that it is of dandruff, and began to wash the head of the special shampoos. But they have not helped. Crust into a small cones: solid, correct oval. Symmetrical "outgrowth" of the ears grow. The moment, when out of the hair, Peter grew horns. Peter a long time was afraid to contact your doctor.
"To a man appeared horns, you'll need to match the rare, almost impossible factors - told a press conference on this occasion Dr. Ferguson. - The basis of this phenomenon is hypertrophied, ie, enhanced cell growth horny layer of the head. The process - a protective function of the body. Due to stress, disease, climate change, the cells began to proliferate, and the skin becomes more dense. Usually this state is quietly and takes no more than a week. But in some cases, as happened with Peter, cell growth did not stop a long time . This process is linked to changes in hormonal background of the organism, which, in turn, affects the central nervous system and its stations, responsible for the growth of skin cells. "
After a conversation with his mother, Peter specialists found that in infancy he had a long time (about a year) do not heal fontanel on the head. Obviously, this was due to congenital defects of bone tissue. Be that as it may, over time, delayed fontanel, but this area remains weak, problematic. And the skin covering the "affected area", also grew unstable, easily changeable. Therefore, when Peter "played" hormones, it was the beginning mutate. But because the skin was restricted to a few centimeters, on the head is not uniform, a "crust", and small horns.
At the press conference Dr. Ferguson said that humanity is, in principle, have nothing to fear. Despite the fact that catastrophic climate changes dramatically throughout the world, and stress is increasing and increasing, it is expected that in the near future on the minds of people like mushrooms after the rain start to grow horns, no.
"In fact, the probability of this is very small - he reassured reporters. - The situation is attributable to hereditary factors, Peter: the special structure of the skin and not a specific reaction of the nervous system. But the normal human nervous system reacts to change and more traditional hormonal stress: fatigue, lethargy, decreasing efficiency. If the skin cells and increase it slightly. fear of recurrence should be only those who had a childhood different pathological disease head. They are, I advise you now, just in case, ask the advice of a doctor. "
What did the other day and 95-year-old Chinese named Zhao Chzhantszyan of the city. His visit to the clinic, she has led scientists to this confusion: it is not every day you see a man on the forehead desyatisantimetrovy horn!
Anyone who saw this grandmother, puzzled: how a normal woman in his old age has a physical disadvantage so ugly? Indeed, as noted by the Chinese press, on the appearance of a horn like a dried stalk of the pumpkin, which grows almost in the center of the forehead and the downwards intertwine.
Zhao itself, it seems, not very much and hesitate to discard her. Yes, and from communicating with the press, she tries to dodge, so far as her health allows it. Thus, in an interview with one of the old Chinese newspapers reported that a mysterious horn she appeared relatively recently.
"At first it was just a small mole, then it began to increase and turn into a horn, - admitted Zhao. So how do you see it now, he was just three years." This woman claims that her horn is not worried and does not bring any discomfort. "He did not spoil my life, - says the old. - The only thing it prevents me to see."
Neither the old relatives or medical experts, or specialists in genetics are not yet able to establish the reasons for which their countrywoman acquired, in fact, a new part of the body. The only thing they know exactly - is that in Gansu Province today is another "Roháč" 75-year-old Wong Yang.
A long time, Young was unable to adapt to a strange 5-cm disease in his forehead, external affairs of its resemblance to the ugly rhinoceros. Concerned about incomprehensible tumor in his face was even a retired 18-day walk to the city of Nanjing to consult a specialist.
But doctors were unable to help the old man, claiming that the operation is impossible, and the inhabitants of China, nothing was left, as to accept the ugly horn.
By deciding not to be discouraged, retired completely dedicated himself to kung fu, who was 8 years old. But after a while his head came the idea of how useful the application is available for your horns. Young was the practice of lifting weights with the help of process and so successful in this endeavor, which managed to become famous, recently lifted through a wall of 14 bricks.
Since then he has become a hero in China and now claims a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
In principle, the Chinese pensioner can understand: his flesh, he turned to the lack of dignity. What absolutely can not be said of quite a large group of young people in the United States and Europe, who, having decided that the piercing - this is a kindergarten, invented a new amusement. They believe that to be cool ... Horn, a nation privinchennye to your skull!
Doctors, however, caution that such "toughness" can lead to cranial injury and even dementia. But clever to accept such an operation?
HYPNOSIS
