I originally posted this on another site but it was wasted there so i thought i'd repost it here. Enjoy
Only during the last 100 years have crystal skulls begun to appear in the Western world. At present, there are only three sizeable crystal skulls housed in some of the world's leading museums. The British Museum has a crystal skull which it acquired in 1898 from Tiffany's in New York. It is life-size and finely carved from clear quartz rock crystal and is kept in the Museum of Mankind in London. This skull is said to have been seen moving around by itself in its sealed glass case! The oldest records that exist for it say that it was brought from Mexico by a Spanish soldier of fortune at around the middle of the last century but beyond that little is known of its true origins.
A smaller, more stylised version of the British Museum skull can be seen in the Musée de l'Homme in Paris. This skull was acquired around the same time as the British Museum skull, but again little is known about where it originally came from. More recently, the Smithsonian Institute in Washington came into possession of a crystal skull, sent in by an anonymous donor in 1993. This skull is larger than life-size with a strange, hollow interior. Attempts to track down the donor of this skull led only to his lawyer, who claimed that the original owner had now committed suicide, apparently on account of 'the curse' the skull had brought on him!
An absence of proper archaeological records makes the true origins and purpose of these crystal skulls a mystery. Although many archaeologists believe the skulls originated in Central America amongst the Aztecs, Mixtecs or possibly even the Mayan civilisation, others believe the workmanship found on these skulls to be far too sophisticated for such ancient and 'primitive' peoples. Several of the skulls display such a smoothness of finish and such an incredible degree of anatomical accuracy that many archaeologists have been left totally baffled.
A sprightly 89-year-old, Anna Mitchell-Hedges is the owner of probably the most beautiful of all the known crystal skulls in the world. She is convinced that her skull is at least as old as the ancient Mayan civilisation, and has an extraordinary tale to tell about how it came into her possession back in the 1920s, when she was a young woman of 17.
Anna is the adopted daughter of explorer Frederick Mitchell-Hedges, and as a young woman she accompanied her father on many of his overseas expeditions. Frederick Mitchell-Hedges was a real Indiana Jones-type character. He was a member of the Maya Committee of the British Museum. His interest lay in uncovering the secrets buried with lost civilisations. While her father was excavating the site of Lubaantun in British Honduras (now Belize) Anna came across the most magnificent and perfect crystal skull buried beneath an altar in the ruins of a Mayan temple. The crystal skull Anna found is life-size and remarkably accurate anatomically. It even has a detachable jaw bone that fits neatly into the upper cranium, just like a real human skull. It is made of pure rock crystal, which is almost totally transparent.
Anna Mitchell-Hedges loaned her skull to Frank Dorland, an American crystal expert, who believed that it dated back to a civilisation even more ancient than the Maya. Dorland took the skull to one of the world's leading computer companies, Hewlett Packard. Various scientists in optical laboratories examined the crystal skull under intense magnification and amongst their incredible findings they were most surprised to discover that the skull showed no evidence of any kind of tool markings whatsoever. They were unable to determine either when or how it had been made, a fact which led one member of the team to conclude: 'This skull should not even exist!' For others, such as crystal skull researcher Joshua Shapiro, this was evidence of an extra-terrestrial origin.
One of the things that Hewlett Packard were able to establish was that the crystal skull had been made from a particular type of quartz, known as 'piezo-electric silicon dioxide' - precisely the type of quartz that is now used throughout the modern electronics industry. Unlike other materials, the quartz used to make the skull had the ability to hold under control electrical energy and to oscillate at a constant and precise frequency. It was able to hold electrical energy, potentially a form of information, and send out impulsed, or vibrating, waves of information. This is why quartz is used for the 'brain cells' of electronic equipment from watches to computers. The heart of the modern computer, for example, is the tiny silicon crystal chip. This is where the information inside our modern computers is actually stored. Indeed this type of quartz crystal now lies at the very centre of our modern information and telecommunications age. There are rumoured to be 13 Crystal Skulls which when brought together will release a great power in some shape or form.
Thanks for reading.
