Why did some Mayas tie boards to their childerens heads?
This was done to make their children's foreheads flat.What a terrible answer^To make their children's foreheads flat? Well no sh!t Sherlock, they know that. The real question is why they would want to disfigure and possible harm their children that way?It was considered a sign of beauty then, fortunately this isn't so today. However, many cultures worldwide have their own devices depicting beauty, e.g. a tribe in Western Africa believes putting large spherical objects (instead of an earring) represents beauty. Now that is painful as the spheres start small and are replaced with larger ones the size of a breakfast plate. When removed the droopy ears can stretch mid waist. A point to remember is the Mayan society is said to have began around 200BC and that was a long long time ago..
