The 13 Skulls

Another slightly interesting mystery: The 13 Crystal Skulls.

Some say they're ancient recording devices.

How are they made?

They are fascinating to look at!
 
From Wikipedia:

"A crystal skull is a model of a human skull made out of clear quartz crystal. A modern legend claims that there are 13 crystal skulls worldwide, of which five have actually been found, which have mystical powers and are of ancient origin. Such claims remain unproven. New skulls carved from crystal are made and sold regularly.

People who believe in the psychic power of crystal skulls say that the skulls are a center of radiant psychic energy and have the power to increase happiness and improve people's lives just by being held, handled and spoken with; others have suggested that crystal skulls can be used like crystal balls, to aid divination.

The healing and supernatural powers of crystal skulls have never been scientifically established. The scientific community at large has found no evidence of any unusual phenomena associated with the skulls nor any reason for further investigation."

As with all paranormal artifacts, these would be much more fascinating if their "abilities" could be demonstrated. Take a crystal skull through a hospital ward and 'heal' a couple hundred people with it and the world will take notice. Unfortunately these sorts of demonstrations are always impossible for some reason or another.

What I was really hoping to find was some sort of citation for the "35,000 years old" figure. I wanted to see who had attached such an ancient age to these skulls, and how they went about determining it. No such luck.

Whoever it was, they should know that the Smithsonian disagrees with them, and has found these skulls to be of modern make.
