    		The Incans were very adept at trepanning, but I'm not too clear if that was the reason.

    		This is something I recall the Nazis experimenting with, although I don't recall any results. It'd be hard to imagine early civilizations having a knowledge of oxygen and its effects

    		The term for this is trepanning, and I recall from my study of ancient history that the Egyptians practised it.

    		It wasn't to let Oxygen in, it was to let spirits in (and I don't mean alcohol).
