Crystal Skulls
To some people, a crystal skull is simply an object carved from quartz crystal in the shape of a human skull. They can be clear or coloured crystal, and they range from crudely carved to incredibly detailed. Some crystal skulls are just
a few inches in diameter, while others are life-size.
Believers in the power of crystal skulls have made some fantastic claims about their abilities. They think that the crystal skulls may represent doom and destruction, or hope and healing. Some people think that crystal skulls can be used like crystal balls to see visions of the past, present and future.
They claim that the skulls emit psychic energy, auras or even sounds. Believers point to Mayan creation myths that reference crystal skulls and a story that 13 crystal skulls were scattered by the Mayans thousands of years ago to be discovered and reunited in modern times.
Some crystal skull devotees point to the piezoelectric properties of quartz crystal as evidence of the skulls' power. They say that the skulls might function like large computer chips that have recorded the history of the
Earth, or even messages from aliens or lost civilizations. We just have to discover the right way to “read” them.
Regardless of any unearthly properties the crystal skulls may or may not possess, the question remains: where did they come from? There are countless hypotheses that they are the legacy of some higher intelligence. Many believe they were created by extra terrestrials or beings in Atlantis or Lemuria.
One elaborate theory maintains that the skulls were left behind by
a sophisticated Inner Earth society which lives at the hollow center of our planet, and there are thirteen "master skulls" which contain the history of these people.
