The Essenes (2,000 ++ years ago) I believe phrenology is the study of the skull -
Edgar Cayce had identified many things about them,
which archaeology and textual evidence now support.
Cayce’s readings about the Essenes began in the 1930s
and included Life Readings for later incarnations of those
who had been among this community. Cayce described
the Essenes as “students of what ye would call astrology,
numerology, phrenology, and those phases of that study
of the return of individuals—or incarnation . . .” (5749-8)
The readings say that several women were important
figures in the Essene community. Most notably, Judy
taught Jesus in his youth and was the leader of the
Essenes at their center in Mount Carmel in northern Israel.
One of her most important duties in that incarnation was
the preservation of ancient knowledge and the creation
of new records. In reading 1472-1, we learn that she was
“the prophetess, the healer, the writer, the recorder” for
the Essenes. She also seems to have practiced remote
viewing as Cayce said she could see things “without the
physical body being there.” (2067-11)
The readings also refer to a “school of prophets” at
Mount Carmel (5749-8) where Essene students may
have studied astrology and other metaphysical subjects.
Reading 1472-3, given for the twentieth-century
reincarnation of Judy, states, “The traditions of Egypt, the
traditions from India, the conditions and traditions from
many of the Persian lands became a part of the studies
and the seeking of the entity Judy early in the attempts to
make, keep and preserve such records.” Some of these
records may have been astrological, since astrology has
a long history in each of the areas Cayce named."

Phrenology is a pseudoscience which involves the measurement of bumps on the skull to predict mental traits. It is based on the concept that the brain is the organ of the mind, and that certain brain areas have localized, specific functions or modules. It was said that the brain was composed of different muscles, so those that were used more often were bigger, resulting in the different skull shapes. This led to the reasoning behind why everyone had bumps on the skull in different locations. The brain "muscles" not being used as frequently remained small and were therefore not present on the exterior of the skull. Although both of those ideas have a basis in reality, phrenology generalized beyond empirical knowledge in a way that departed from science. The central phrenological notion that measuring the contour of the skull can predict personality traits is discredited by empirical research. Developed by German physician Franz Joseph Gall in 1796, the discipline was influential in the 19th century, especially from about 1810 until 1840. The principal British centre for phrenology was Edinburgh, where the Edinburgh Phrenological Society was established in 1820.

So sad. They simply didn't think rationally anymore.
