Crystal Skulls

Crystal skulls are some of the most baffling archaeological oddities ever found. Crystal skulls have been found around the ancient Mayan and Aztec ruins in Mexico and Central America. Considering that these skulls are believed AT LEAST 5,000 years old, they are truly ancient mysteries. Who had the technology to create such profound crystal skulls, in specific detail, during the ancient times? And why were they created?

One guess is that they were made by the ancient Aztecs, since skulls were often featured in their art. But what type of technology would they have had to use in order to build them? When examined, no scratch marks or flaws have ever been found on them.

The most famous crystal skull is known as the Mitchell Hedges Skull. It contains a removable jaw that can move—almost as if it is speaking! The researchers of the Mitchell Hedges Skull believe it was made with diamonds that were roughly hewn out. The magnificent, flawless details could have been done by adding water and a soft solution of silicon sand. Assuming this is true, it would have required enough labor to add up to 300 years! That begs another question about the mystery surrounding the crystal skulls; how could something small like a skull require extensive hard work and years of labor just as the much larger pyramids did?

And some of them are quite small. Some of the crystal skulls are only a few inches tall, while others are even larger than a normal human skull. Some are made from clear quartz while others are made from a variety of different colored crystals.

The only plausible explanation as to why they were made is that they were used for occult and religious purposes. Whoever made them probably intended to use them for divination, healing, working with energy, etc. Some new age manufacturers even make replica crystal skulls now, as they are quickly becoming collectors items. Obviously, modern technology makes it possible to create crystal skulls in no time at all, although the Mitchell Hedges Skull still strangely cannot be copied.

That' not the only plausible explanation.

As usual, Brian Dunning presents a much more down to earth explanation. Of course, you can choose to believe what you want:

The Crystal Skull: Mystical, or Modern?
 
These things have been thoroughly, completely, and ruthlessly debunked. Clearly hookum. The earliest manufacture date around is the mid 1700s, for the Paris Skull.
These victorian era curiousity pieces can't survive examination by modern electron microscopes. (not to mention the fact that they had no mention whatsoever in any early Mayan codex, and aren't mentioned anywhere, in any context, before the late 1800s).
 
Well they clearly came from a u.f.o. there were "tripod" traces where they were found. Also, there were people who say that scientist have the evidence but laymen wouldn't understand. This is just more evidence of the cover up. :p
