Why is my neck so flat? It's not only me, but almost every Kurd from Iran has a flat neck. My father told me that they lay children in a basket made of wood. So the back of the neck gets flat.
Is this just a Kurdish "thing", or does other people also do it in the area?
How old is this tradition? ------------- They don't speak enough about the Kurds, because we have never taken hostages, never hijacked a plane. But I am proud of this. Abdul Rahman Qassemlou |

That is something that exists in various cultures globally. Some used a basket and others use a board to which the child is tied with cloth wrappings. Several indigenous cultures in Mexico and south America have the same flattened skull characteristics. ------------- "Arguing with someone who hates you or your ideas, is like playing chess with a pigeon.
