I had learned of Gepids in the book History of Serbs they was mentioned in. Later I learned that helmetlike head was a beauty ideal to Gepids, so they shaped their babies heads using helmets. The consequence of that beauty was brain deformation that led them to extinction. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting. One of the board here said there was no brain damage, but who knows. Thanks for this info, I'm glad you knew about them.
