In the video they do mention that similar skulls have been found in South America, and that the curiousity is WHY different cultures from the same period with absolutely no contact did the same things.
Does that prove the Aztecs discovered Russia ? Or maybe its an extraterrestial .I can see dozens of books in the future .
If people came out of the sky and taught you amazing things wouldn't you try to immitate them? When the Native American's saw the Europeans for the first time they thought they were Gods. So who and or what did these people see that they would try to form their babies heads like that. Most of the places that practiced "head binding" were some of the most advanced civilizations at that time. Many, many Aztec books were destroyed when they were invaded in an attempt to isolate their past culture; but every now and then a buried book that survives will be found with amazing knowledge in it. That does not seem too out of whack to suggest that Aliens visited those civilizations.
