Crystal skulls - one of the greatest mysteries of our planet

 Known a total of thirteen crystal skulls held in museums and private collections, and according to some, they even 21.
This replicas of human skulls and portraits, masks made of quartz. They are found in Central America and Tibet. These amazing items are likely to be made in ancient times, and craftsmanship proves the high level of technical knowledge, which had ancestors of modern man.
Rock crystal found in nature are often, but it is difficult to handle as it is very adamant. To preserve the integrity of the crystal, it is necessary to direct the motion of the tool along the axis of growth. The creators of crystal skulls managed to manually handle rhinestone, not observing this rule, and wonder why they have no crystals scattered into small pieces.
The most famous of crystal skulls found in 1927 in Central America, in British Honduras (1981 - Belize is an independent country). "Skull of Lubaantuma" decades in the family kept its discoverer, Englishwoman Ann Mitchell-Hedges. English archaeologist FA Mitchell-Hedges in 1924 excavated the ruins of the Mayan city Lubaantum, and he helped foster daughter Anne. On the day when she was 17 years old, Anne shoveled rocks in the area defined by archaeologists as the altar of the temple, and dug himself a wonderful birthday gift - polished crystal skull with mysterious shimmering eye sockets. The skull was missing the lower jaw, but it still was an amazing find. She was delighted with the wonderful "gift of fate." "I dug up the skull beneath the altar, - told Ann Mitchell-Hedges about his remarkable discovery. - And about three months at a distance of 7.5 meters from the place of the first discovery found the missing lower jaw." It turned out that this piece was not originally attached to the skull, and a free stand on hinges, perfectly smooth, like the rest of the skull.

All is good, but with those who are touched by this skull, horrible things start happening. For the first time this happened with the Ann. One night, she placed a surprising discovery near his bed. As usual, went to bed. All night she dreamed strange dreams. Waking up in the morning, Ann was able to tell all the details of what I saw. And she saw, no less, the life of Indians thousands of years ago. At first, it is not associated with these dreams skull. But strange dreams continued to visit a girl whenever crystal skull was next to her headboard. And every time it was the new details of the life of ancient Indians, including previously unknown to scientists. When the skull was removed for the night away, the dreams stopped. But as soon as finding back to the head, vibrant color and sound "movies" renewed. Ann again heard talk Indians watched their daily activity, with the rituals of sacrifice ...
"Skull of Lubaantuma" since has not changed and continues to admire the perfection of finish. Fellow archaeologists have never doubted the authenticity of the numerous archaeological finds Mitchell-Hedges, but this skull ... He was not too similar to other ancient objects from the very beginning has caused suspicion that caring father planted in the ruins of the "beautiful skull" as an original gift for a day birth of his beloved daughter. This version has not yet been definitively disproved.
In the early 60's, after his father's death, Anne decided to submit the skull for research professionals: painfully he was perfect, even for such craftsmen as they were pre-Columbian Indian civilizations. First took up the study of the skull art critic Frank Dordland. With careful examination, he found in it a system of lenses, prisms, and channels, creating unusual optical effects. Researcher was amazed that on a perfectly polished crystal even under a microscope to be seen the next. He decided to seek advice from the famous company "Hewlett-Packard", specialized at the time in the production of crystal oscillators.
The examination results are not only shocked the art. First, a study conducted in 1964 in a special laboratory of the company "Hewlett-Packard", revealed that the skull was made long before the first civilizations in this part of America. In addition, rock crystal of such high quality in these areas does not occur. And it is quite an amazing discovery - "antediluvian" skull, weighing 5.13 kg, and the dimensions 125.4 to 203.4 mm, machined from a single crystal. And contrary to all known laws of physics. Here is what I have said, this is one of the best experts in the firm, the engineer L. Barre, "We studied the skull in three optical axes, and found that it consists of three or four ... Analyzing splices splices, we found that the skull was carved from a single piece of crystal with the lower jaw. Mohs rhinestone has high hardness, is seven (second only topaz, corundum and diamond), and nothing but the diamond cut is impossible. But ancient somehow managed to handle it. And not only skull itself - they were cut from the same piece jaw and hinge on which it is suspended. At this hardness is more than mysterious, and here's why: in the crystals, if they consist of more than one splice, there are internal stresses. When click on the crystal cutter head, because of stress, he may break into pieces ... but this one made the skull of one piece of crystal is so carefully, as though you did not touch him in the cutting process. We also found some kind of prism cut in the back of the skull, at its base, so that any ray of light entering the eye socket, is reflected in them. Look into his eye socket, and you can see them in the room. "
Ann Mitchell-Hedges is now living in Canada. The old lady, which is already over 90 years old, still firmly believes that the crystal skull belonged to the Mayan culture. In 1970, she confessed: "Sometimes I really wish I had performed my father's wish - he wanted me to put him in the coffin of the skull. This would be probably the most appropriate place for such a strange thing, because in the wrong hands, it will do evil. "
American restorer Frank Dorland, who studied the find from 1964 to 1970, found that the design of the skull relatively well balanced center of gravity, from the lightest breeze five-kilogram lower jaw of the skull begins to move. Even more surprising feature Dorland said. When he turned his face to the stone skull fire in the fireplace, orbit flashed a sinister fire. Dorland spoke of the Crystal Skull is very emotional, as if the subject was a bit more complex and significant than simply treated transparent quartz crystal. He could not understand how it was possible to achieve such an ancient Mayan crystal surface smoothness: "If we exclude the participation of supernatural forces, Maya artisans would have to polish your crystal skull manually. Hundreds of years, no matter what changes have occurred during this time in the social conditions and religion, artisans would continue their incredible work. we can hardly imagine that the work on the one thing passed down from generation to generation for centuries. "

To give a rounded quartz crystal human skull, with all the anatomical details, it would take seven million working hours. This corresponds to 800 years of round the clock work. If we assume that the skull is polished for 12 hours a day, the work would have stretched for 1,600 years! Perfection treatment of solid stone leaves a wide scope for speculation, some say fake crystal skull made in the XX century, others attribute it to create aliens, residents of the legendary Atlantis, or Satan himself. Archaeologists working on the excavations in Honduras, convinced that a crystal skull belonged to people who lived there and a half thousand years ago - the Mayan people, or perhaps borrowed from the Aztecs. But scientists can not figure out what was the processing technology of quartz crystals.
The story of the creation of the Crystal Skull by Satan and his minions have to reject the absence of direct evidence. Seems more plausible version of the manufacture of crystal skulls of Atlantis. According to another hypothesis, the first terrestrial civilization arose 36,000 years ago when our planet inhabited 12 alien races, and they easily polished solid crystalline quartz. With these crystals aliens allegedly supported "spiritual contact" with their home planet.
Many people noticed that in the presence of crystal skulls they have a strange vision, while others complained of dizziness and nausea. Some even fell into a trance under the influence of the magical sight of crystal sockets. Most trouble caused observers called skull "ET", belonging collector of antiquities Van Diten from the Netherlands. In 1991, Van Diten acquired in Guatemala for his collection of smoky quartz skull weighs about five pounds. Those who saw the subject people claim that it has healing powers and it can be used to get information from the higher, spiritual realms.
Viennese professor Distelberger researched the skull "E TV". He admitted this product genuine and determined its age - 500 years. According to Professor Distelbergera, skull certainly not of European origin: "For the forger makes no sense to do such hard work - a lot of years of hand-polished stone. I can not explain why it looks so natural, almost like a European man's skull, although it is more narrow and polished in ways that we have not known. On this subject it is hardly possible to find out what it is processed, besides, he spent a long time in the land. "
The hypothesis that the use of the Crystal Skull in magical rituals expressed more Mitchell-Hedges, who determined the age of discovery - about 3,600 years. But the precise dating of the subject of rock crystal is impossible. The most reliable radiocarbon method can only show the age of the organic material. If the finding was lying, for example, in soil containing organic matter 600 years old, which means that non-organic objects can be of the same age.
Most crystal skulls found in Central America. It is known that the Aztecs dead head and skull were of great importance in various rituals and beliefs. Cultural heritage of the Aztec and Maya features a large number of images of a human skull. In the temples, pyramids, on stone stelae and places of ritual sacrifices we often see this dark and meaningful symbol. The Aztec skull designated underworld, death and the underworld. In their view, the world of death and divine ancestors were more important than short-term and fragile earthly existence. It is known, for example, that the Aztecs especially wage war to capture more captives for human sacrifice. Perhaps the crystal skulls with glowing eye sockets were somehow connected with these nightmarish rituals.

Skull of transparent quartz crystals are now in various museums and private collections in London, Paris and overseas. Authenticity of most of them is not in doubt, but the origin continue to argue, and to address not yet in sight.
Interesting news in August 1996, told the magazine FATE. In winter 1994 the mistress ranch near Creston (Colorado, USA), circling the horse their possession, on the ground noticed a shiny object. Picked it up. It was a human skull made of transparent glass or crystal. But in what form? Crumpled and twisted, as if to solidify was very malleable. Where it came from and why it is mutilated, remains a mystery to this day. (An interesting fact: it is in this area of ​​the U.S. state most frequently observed UFOs and recorded cases of unexplained cattle mutilations.) Interested findings, historians and ethnographers began to look for anything that could shed on them any light. And soon, some traces were found in the ancient Indian tradition. For example, that there were thirteen crystal skulls "Goddess of Death" and that they are kept separate from each other under the watchful eye of the priests and special warriors.
Naturally, began their search. Soon, he gave the first results. Similar skulls were found in the vaults of some museums and private individuals. And not just in America (Mexico, Brazil, United States), and Europe (France) and Asia (Mongolia, Tibet). Skulls was much more than thirteen. But not all were so perfect as an instance of Mitchell-Hedges. Most of the skulls looked much rougher. It seems that it was the later and not very skillful attempt to create something like a perfect skull, which is believed to be used to give people the gods.
One of the most respected scholars of crystal skulls, Frank Joseph, interested: and whether the prototype at Mitchell-Hedges skull, and would look like the owner of this skull? For reasons of clarity this task assigned to two independent groups: the New York Police laboratory that specializes in the reconstruction of persons on the skull, and a group of psychics who are "connected" to the skull in a trance. And they both independently said that the prototype of the Crystal Skull was the skull of a young girl. Portraits obtained by the two groups were very similar.

In the course of searching Surprisingly another intriguing detail. It turned out that the ancient crystal skulls interest not only historians, but also some secret society. So, literally under the nose of archaeologists in Honduras disappeared so-called "Rose Quartz" - a masterpiece, not inferior to its perfection Mitchell-Hedges skull. He also had a detachable jaw. The investigation revealed that prior to the disappearance of his several attempts to steal the priests of a secret cult. Apparently, the last attempt failed. It was also found that the crystal skulls were interested and serious state structures. So, in 1943, in Brazil after an attempted robbery of a local museum were detained by German society "Ahnenerbe." During interrogations, they showed that were brought to South America's secret ship Abwehr - yacht "pass" - with a special mission to find and remove the crystal skulls of the Goddess of Death. With the same purpose had been abandoned a few groups. And, although many also arrested, it is possible that someone has achieved success.
Those who are interested in the secret history of the Third Reich, now know something about his mystical roots and the special secret purpose - to seize power in the world of the unseen, metaphysical. Also aware of the main research structure SS - elite Order "Ahnenerbe" ("Ancestral Heritage"), which had in the submission of more than fifty research institutes. And know the secret of this mysterious Order of the cardinal - a descendant of the ancient magical kind of media "knowledge Devil" SS Gruppenführer Carla Maria Villigute. Under the initiative Vaystara (alias Villiguta) emissaries "Ahnenerbe" scoured the world in search of ancient knowledge, archives and magical details of secret societies. They were especially interested in the magical practices of the priests of Atlantis. The Nazis hoped that this knowledge "progenitor of the Aryan race" will allow them not only to create a superman, but with the help of magic to subdue the rest. In search of ancient magic knowledge "Ahnenerbe" organizes expeditions to the most remote corners of the globe: in Tibet, Central and South America and Antarctica. The last two continents was given special attention, as it is here expected to find traces of the ancient Atlanteans and their knowledge.

And here we come to the most intriguing mystery skulls: what they were for? Some scientists believe that the ancients used them in medical and psychotherapeutic purposes. For this opinion is the base. So, Joan Parker, inherited the Crystal Skull "Max" from a Tibetan monk, says that the latter is very successfully used for the treatment of human skull. Observation and questioning witnesses researchers have shown that crystal skulls really somehow affect those close to him. Moreover, different people in different ways. Some people feel uncomfortable and weird fears. Some even fainted and briefly lose their memory. Others, on the contrary, a strange calm and even fall into a blissful state. There are people who, after communicating with the Mitchell-Hedges skull recovered from serious illnesses.
