Walsh started by examining the origins of a 2-inch crystal skull in a Smithsonian Institution collection. It had appeared seemingly out of nowhere in the late s as part of a collection that came to the museum from Mexico. And in a catalog card written in the s, she found an analysis done by a geologist named William Foshag — an expert in Mesoamerican carved stones. Records showed that a company partner bought it at a Boban auction in Again and again, their detective work seemed to trace the story of the crystal skulls back to a specific time frame — from the s to the s — and a single man, Boban.
But who was he? Boban, a Frenchman born in , was enthralled by Mexico and its history. He traveled there extensively and over the years, he eventually became an archaeologist working for a member of the French Scientific Commission in Mexico. Boban developed friendships with many of the greatest archaeologists of his day, and took great interest in collecting artifacts from across the region.
Through catalogs and exhibitions, he sold artifacts to collectors and museums in the late 19th century. Around the same time, experts had started noticing fake Aztec and pre-Columbian artifacts flooding museum collections. So, increasingly, they started turning to subject experts for help. As Boban built a reputation as an expert in Mexican antiquities, museum curators trusted him to arrange deals.
Boban banked on that. Who actually made the skulls then? In many cases, Walsh suspects Boban may have acquired them from aging Christian churches in Mexico that the government was tearing down. Oh and dinosaur bones were planted by him to confuse us. If "they" can get you to believe or have "faith" in that cockamamy B.
They get rich, the sheeple or herd of humans gets sick off their food and public water with chemicals added so a Dr. Oh please February 1, AM. Of course they can reproduce anything from antiquity today.
Try the chinese, they'll make you as many of whatever you want as you can pay for. IF you can pay for it. And of course we can make the pyramids today. Are you ready to pay for it? They are not very efficient though, all of those stone blocks for a couple of rooms.
As per the "ancient advanced technologies" comments which constitutes the purest "argument of incredulity" also known as "the divine argument" , maybe someone should have told the romans, because they beat all those "advanced technology pyramid builders" into submission with some steel swords and wooden shields. Not very "advanced" Not all of the crystal skulls are fake, www. Arthur March 13, PM. I find your article misleading.
Although you did not state outright that all such skulls are fake, the implication is strongly there, especially in light of your comment likening belief in them to Indiana Jones fantasy. Don't forget, one law of logic: just because one fake can be found does not prove that all are fakes. All known skulls are fakes. In some people's minds, it will never be disproven, because they want so badly for this bit of mystery and wonderment to continue.
Klaus March 14, AM. When will they discover that Charles Darwin's "discoveries" of the s were fake, too? Tomalak March 14, PM. Does this mean these worthless fakes will be sold on the cheap? I wouldn't mind getting one to put next to the fireplace. Mark Bellis April 8, AM. Mitchell-Hedges bought the skull from a collector in the UK for pounds in - no one ever thought it was a real ancient artifact before he started claiming he'd found it in Belize, something that no one else who was with him in Belize at the time is recorded as remembering.
It is a nice piece of quartz and certainly was worth the pounds in I saw and handled it in , and it had a large scratch on it - it's made of quartz, not a superhard material that requires carving techniques unknown to ancient cultures, and both ancient and modern artists have used quartz as material with contemporary techniques.
Bernardo Junco May 10, AM. Muralist and collector Diego Rosales has a collection of Crystal Skulls he has aquired over the last 65 years in Mexico. His knowledge and understanding of pre-columbian mexican history makes him one of the most revelant individuals still alive today. In time his writings and studies will be made public to better understand the world we live in. Paul May 28, PM. My god you are all nuts Lady hedges was never there at the site.
A chiniesse artists who makes crystal skulls made a n almost perfect replica of the skull. Also mr hedges was provin to have bought the crystal skull at a sothibeis autction. In the I would love to believe their is magic in this world but sometimes there just aren't.
Annaisannoyed August 1, AM. Why would the history channel ancient aliens get me all excited about this : I was hoping some cool stuff like this was legit. Its very sad that when people want to beleive to something or need to they lower them selves to warship material fakes as the skulls are. Slowly- slowly technology proves that all those ALL were created after with modern tools. One think I would really like is to speak with those people they use to beleive and promote the skulls, to hear what they wioll say after the joke of the myth has collapsed.
WakeUp November 5, AM. The statement you made, and I quote: "people want to beleive to something or need to they lower them selves to warship material fakes as the skulls are " Ive got a few questions about that line. Firstly, where did you hear such a laughable narrow minded lie or how did you form such a ludacrous false opinion that people such as myself, who truly believe that the crystal skulls some of them are in fact ancient objects "lower them selves to warship material fakes"?
Because I don't know, I wasnt there! So for those like myself who DO believe that the skulls are ancient, where in the world or other did you get the idea that we all worship them? Personally, although I believe the skulls are ancient and powerful objects, I don't "worship" them or ANY object - or any 'Deities' for that matter.
Not one. So please tell me how you formed such a ridiculous opinion to make the statement that "they lower them selves to warship material fakes"? Now Im also curious as to how you also formed the opinion that: "material fakes as the skulls are. Slowly- slowly technology proves that all those ALL were created after with modern tools" Based on an article like this one or a TV show or Documentary, or a book?
Because in case you were unaware -Those those are all media tools! And if you believe every article, TV show, documentary or book because someone called 'Dr Such and So' says it's true, you probably need to re-evaluate your perception of life itself. Now I will ask you one more question based on your statement that: "Slowly- slowly technology proves that all those ALL were created after with modern tools" So what technology is being used to support your shared statement?
And could you actually answer this question of what 'technology' would be used to determine this at the time you wrote this statement?
Off the top of your head? And also who would be conducting the tests? Are they being paid? If so by who? And how would the alleged 'results' be conveyed to people such as yourself?
Via articles, TV or paper? And most importantly, how can anyone trust these alleged 'results' and the people conducting those tests? How would we know they were even tested? How would we know the tests even took place? Photos, videos, speeches? Im curious if your answer is yes, because I know that there are pretend things made to look real every day, a movie is a good example, just because you see a screen with batman fighting the joker with explosions and a plot on it, are you saying it must be true and would have actually taken place in reality?
Now providing you actually read this far and did some deep thinking and used a bit of common sense, if there is such a thing, can you provide the answers for ANY of those questions about your statements and opinions? If not, perhaps you should start to think for yourself, instead of being brainwashed into believing the notorious liars of this universe or anyone else for that matter before you allow yourself to form such misinformed and false ideas, and make idiotic statements about things you know nothing about - in short, think for yourself and if you don't know what you're on about, don't pretend to unless you want to make a total fool out of yourself again.
Although I know the original author of the comments above probably won't read all of this or respond, I urge anyone who did bother to learn from it, just because someone behind a camera or article or book etc tells you they have the "facts" and throw a bunch of pictures, words or alleged "proof" at you - doesn't mean it's true, evidence can be easily faked and twisted.
We can break free from the control of this system and the snakes hiding behind the curtains running it, but not if we continue to be complacent and listen and do whatever we are told. Just because the person you are responding worded himself poorly does not make his POV wrong. What you are suggesting is a complete abandonment of The Scientific Method. If we used your advice in the pursuit of knowledge, we would simply be sorting through possible explanations until we find one we like, rather than one that is correct.
That is called pseudoscience, and it is an extremely seductive way of thinking, especially when we have a strong predisposition or desire for something to be the case.
In the scientific context, that is ridiculousness of the first order. That attitude has perpetuated more myths, supported more logical fallacies and bound more people in human history to ignorance than any supposed conspiracy ever could. Yes, there are many people who simply believe what they are told if the conclusions are presented with seemingly convincing evidence, regardless of whether the evidence truly leads to the conclusion or not. Your comment identifies you as one of them.
John Morgan November 5, AM. The only reason the majority of skulls are deemed fake is because main stream archeology has deemed it is. The scientists believe they were probably manufactured in the late s, in response to a surge of interest in the ancient world and its artifacts.

The Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull-- a human size and shaped, clear quartz skull, Brianna Rojas seemed her usual breezy self as she set off for work.
The crystal skulls are literally crystal skulls that were discovered in the 19th century by collectors who believed that they were created in a pre-Columbian era.
The location where he was found was once inhabited by the Zapotec civilization. Nocerino always refused such offers, as he strongly believed the skulls were such an integral part of Mayan society, that these tribes needed their precious talisman. There are very few legends that cross over cultures and times the way the crystal skull legends do. In the mid s two full size crystal skulls, carved from one piece of quartz, were found in Mexico.
Legend and Prophecy. They had to protect these skulls from pagan priests and warriors.. She was almost 90 years old and had kept the skull with her throughout her long life.
This one was also found in Meso-America at the beginning of the 19th century. Since the Hedges crystal skull discovery in the late twenties, two additional Mayan crystal skulls were discovered in Guatemala and Mexico; then brought to the United States in by a Mayan priest. Historians have found a story which mentions these 13 crystal skulls, and it comes from an Indian legend which claims that these were property of the Goddess of Death.
