The
Mystery
of
the
Crystal
Skulls
:
An
old
native
American
____________________
describes
the
existence
of
thirteen
ancient
crystal
skulls
,
the
size
of
human
skulls
,
with
moveable
jaws
that
were
said
to
speak
or
sing
.
The
legend
tells
that
these
crystal
skulls
contain
important
information
about
some
of
the
great
____________________
of
life
and
the
universe
.
They
contain
knowledge
about
the
past
history
of
our
species
on
this
planet
,
and
information
about
mankind's
true
purpose
and
future
destiny
.
The
Cherokee
version
of
the
legend
says
that
there
were
originally
twelve
planets
in
the
universe
inhabited
by
human
life
and
that
there
was
one
skull
for
each
of
these
planets
,
together
with
a
thirteenth
skull
which
was
vital
to
reconnecting
all
of
these
worlds
.
The
legend
also
says
that
one
day
,
at
a
time
of
great
need
,
all
of
these
crystal
skulls
will
be
____________________
and
brought
back
together
to
____________________
their
information
vital
to
the
very
survival
of
the
human
race
.
But
the
legend
also
warns
that
when
that
time
arrives
mankind
must
first
be
sufficiently
developed
,
suitably
evolved
both
morally
and
____________________
,
so
as
not
to
abuse
this
great
knowledge
.
When
we
first
heard
this
legend
,
whilst
visiting
the
ancient
Mayan
ruins
of
Tikal
in
Guatemala
,
we
considered
it
merely
a
colourful
story
,
until
we
found
out
that
a
real
crystal
skull
had
actually
been
____________________
on
an
archaeological
dig
in
Central
America
,
way
back
in
the
1920's
.
The
Mitchell
-
Hedges
Crystal
Skull
Frederick
Mitchell
-
Hedges
(
1882
-
1959
)
was
your
archetypal
British
adventurer
-
explorer
;
a
member
of
the
Maya
Committee
of
the
British
Museum
and
a
real
Indiana
-
Jones
type
character
determined
to
make
his
mark
in
the
twilight
years
of
the
British
Empire
.
He
was
of
the
opinion
that
the
cradle
of
____________________
lay
not
in
the
Middle
East
,
as
is
commonly
supposed
,
but
instead
he
was
convinced
that
Atlantis
was
a
real
civilisation
which
had
____________________
after
some
natural
catastrophe
.
He
believed
that
the
remnants
of
this
Atlantean
civilisation
could
still
be
found
somewhere
in
Central
America
,
and
he
was
determined
to
prove
it
.
To
this
end
,
he
gathered
together
a
party
of
explorers
who
set
sail
from
Liverpool
in
1924
bound
for
British
Honduras
(
now
Belize
)
.
One
day
,
deep
in
the
jungle
,
his
party
stumbled
upon
some
mounds
of
stone
overgrown
with
moss
and
foliage
,
and
suffocated
by
roots
and
vines
.
So
they
set
fire
to
the
undergrowth
.
When
the
fire
had
subsided
the
____________________
of
a
once
great
city
emerged
from
the
flames
.
It
was
a
place
known
to
the
local
Mayans
as
?
Lubaantun'
or
?
The
City
of
Fallen
Stones'
,
and
it
was
in
this
lost
city
that
Mitchell
Hedges'
adopted
daughter
Anna
found
a
magnificent
and
perfect
crystal
skull
,
buried
beneath
an
altar
in
the
ruins
of
one
of
the
great
____________________
-
pyramids
.
The
Mayan
helpers
on
the
dig
went
wild
with
joy
on
the
emergence
of
the
skull
.
They
seemed
to
recognise
it
.
They
kissed
the
ground
crying
,
placed
it
on
an
altar
,
and
performed
ceremonial
____________________
and
dances
around
it
.
But
what
was
this
mysterious
object
and
did
it
have
anything
to
do
with
the
ancient
legend
?

In
a
lost
city
in
a
remote
jungle
,
located
in
what
is
now
Belize
,
Central
America
,
Anna
Mitchell
Hedge
found
this
magnificent
and
perfect
crystal
skull
,
buried
beneath
an
altar
in
the
ruins
of
a
great
temple
-
pyramid
.
The
crystal
skull
is
a
mystery
as
profound
as
the
Pyramids
of
Egypt
,
the
Sphinx
,
the
Nasca
Lines
of
Peru
,
or
Stonehenge
.
Ever
since
its
original
____________________
the
crystal
skull
has
been
the
source
of
much
archaeological
____________________
?
nobody
seems
to
know
quite
how
old
it
really
is
,
how
it
was
made
,
what
it
was
used
for
,
and
where
it
originally
came
from
.
All
that
is
known
for
sure
is
that
ever
since
it
____________________
from
the
temple
ruins
,
the
most
incredible
claims
have
been
made
about
the
crystal
skull
and
there
have
been
a
whole
host
of
reports
of
strange
and
unusual
____________________
surrounding
the
skull
.
As
mentioned
above
,
Anna
Mitchell
-
Hedges
is
the
woman
who
first
uncovered
the
crystal
skull
as
a
teenager
back
in
the
1920's
.
Although
the
crystal
skull
was
found
on
what
most
archaeologists
consider
to
be
a
Mayan
site
,
Anna
Mitchell
-
Hedges
and
many
others
like
her
believe
that
it
is
actually
much
older
than
this
,
and
that
it
belonged
to
some
mysterious
pre
-
Mayan
civilisation
that
has
now
long
since
____________________
from
this
Earth
.
The
crystal
skull
has
been
valued
at
several
millions
of
dollars
,
but
it
is
far
more
than
just
an
expensive
and
exotic
ancient
artefact
.
For
,
over
the
years
,
people
have
reported
all
kinds
of
strange
and
unusual
experiences
in
the
skull's
presence
.
In
particular
,
it
is
said
to
have
incredible
?

and
?

powers
.
According
to
Anna
Mitchell
-
Hedges
,
who
____________________
____________________
at
the
age
of
100
in
2007
,
it
is
thanks
to
the
?
healing
power'
of
the
skull
that
kept
her
alive
.
She
said
that
all
through
her
life
the
skull
kept
her
in
good
health
and
happiness
.
The
skull
,
she
said
,
?
protected'
her
and
?
communicated'
with
her
all
through
her
long
life
,
and
she
is
not
the
only
person
to
have
reported
such
experiences
.
