 alanocu says: "The most obvious answer to the mystery is that native artisans in Latin America or elsewhere crafted the skulls themselves. The Mayans are most often associated with them, although some doubt that they could have made the skulls, and not simply because of the technical conundrum the job poses. One theory holds the Aztecs as a more likely candidate to have created them. Skull imagery figures prominently in Aztec art and religious symbols, and not in that of the Mayans. The Aztecs were also more highly skilled in sculpting with crystal. It could be that the skulls found in Mayan ruins are actually displaced Aztec relics... or, as some suspect, the skulls' origins could be phony. Many skeptics feel that the crystal skulls are probably of a much more recent vintage than their accompanying stories suggest. Since carbon-dating only works on organic substances, it is impossible to determine just how old a crystal skull is." I wonder if they'll ever find out who made them and why. With the release of the Indy movie due this week, the crystal skulls story has been all over the news. It seems that archaeologists have been finding them, but some or all, may be fakes. The article from the clip was from 1996, but the new Indiana Jones movie has generated new interest. There are a lot of photos on Flickr. The one for-sure fake is the Mitchell-Hedges: "The discovery of Mitchell-Hedges of this baffling artifact is a controversial matter. It was brought into prominence by British explorer F. A. Mitchell-Hedges, who claimed that his daughter unearthed it in 1924. Mitchell-Hedges led an expedition in the ancient Mayan ruins of Lubaantun, in Belize (then British Honduras), searching for evidence of Atlantis." "The story goes that his daughter, Anna, was rummaging inside a structure believed to have once been a temple, when she found the beautifully carved c... tanyamm, there's more background on the skulls here: http://www.world-mysteries.com/sar_6_1.htm. There's a BBC documentary series "Everyman" reported on studies of a number of crystal skulls and other artifacts of supposedly ancient origin conducted at the British Museum. Using electron microscopes, the researchers found that two of the skulls possessed straight, perfectly-spaced surface markings, indicating the use of a modern polishing wheel. Genuine ancient objects would show haphazard tiny scratches from the hand-polishing process. The report speculated that these skulls were actually made in Germany within the past 150 years. Outstanding Clip construction, alan. Thanks Alan, I'll check it out. This is fabulous! thanks, alan, this is a fascinating find It seems the researchers have been able to access a supernatural energy during their experiments! During my personal research with the skulls, I stumbled upon a phenomenon that I am continuing to pursue. While working with the skulls, performing scrying, I was using various colors and sounds. I placed the skull on a small light box and alternated several colors over the light source opening. After recording my sessions over a period of several weeks, I began a review of the results. I was shocked to learn that when I used a certain color over the light source it seemed to activate a time period. Researching my results further, I determined t... I need one of those for my desk LOL merrie, I read that too. Maybe the new Indiana Jones movie will turn some of that hocus pocus into special Hollywood effects.  Actually there's a show on the History Channel about it and it certainly gave due credit to Mitchell-Hedges skull as non-fake. There were tests done on it by HP which produced some amazing results (they put it under all kinds of lights, lasers etc.). According to the Maya legends (and we are talking Belize and Maya descendants telling the stories) - those skulls is what can save Earth in 2012 or 12/21/2012 to be more precise. Whether you believe this or not is a separate issue, but it was a fascinating show to watch. |
