Head to Head burials....

It continues

"As I have already mentioned the skull seems to be a focus
in the beliefs of both the Neanderthal's and the Cro-Magnon's
and the orientation of the bodies head to head could indicate a
belief that the skulls contained the soul and that there closeness
in the grave meaning they will stay together in the afterlife."

(So we have them believing in an 'afterlife')......

And the one I saw, was a grave with a Cro & a Nean, dead
and buried, head to head......

So, are we done butting heads......?
