Изкуствена деоформация на черепа са практикували древните българи. Това е археологически факт и дори е използвано като отличителен белег за разпознаване от другите късно сарматски култури, каато аланската например.

Archaeological remains show that the Bulgars had the typical culture of the nomadic equestrians of Central Asia. Anthropological data collected from early Bulgar necropolises from Bulgaria and the Ukrainian steppe shows that Bulgars were a high-statured Caucasoid people with slight Mongoloid features, and practiced artificial cranial deformation of the round type[5]. The same sort of anthropological type and burial rites are common in Central Asia, where the practice of artificial skull deformation was also common in the area Ancient Greeks called Bactria and locals call Bukhara, Bokhara or Balhara.[citation needed] (Citation recieved -http://www.grifterrec.com/coins/kushan/heraios.html note from Ray of Light ). It has been argued that the latter was the land of origin of the Bulgars.
