Carrying ont he head is still used its just that we never really needed to. Water is alot more available in Europe. Its a skill we naturally do when needed

When moving house I carry lots of stuff on my head fwiw. Much easier as very little muscle is used.
Like this. My example was when having to carry a large holdall bag to a camp-site which took about an hour i initially carried it in front of me hugging it but I'd have to stop every 5 mins for a rest but then i launched it up onto my head and it was much easier. So its a matter of need.
