The long head and neck appeared on Dogon carvings of the Mistress of Speech and the alien Nummo. I believe that ancient cultures intentionally elongated their skulls in order to mimic the Nummo, who were hermaphrodites but primarily female. Depictions of goddesses with long necks and heads appear as far back as the Karanovo Culture of Central Bulgaria dating to 5800 BCE. The long neck was an important symbol of the goddess right up until modern times where a painting of Mary with Jesus, by the Italian painter Parmigianino in 1535, is known as “The Madonna of the Long Neck.” Figures with long necks or heads appear all over the world and this latest find in France continues to reinforce the fact that the Dogon religion was known all around the world at one time.
