it's funny how they don't mention the mitchell-hedges crystal skull that hewlett packard studied and could find no tool marks on. a bit misleading to then claim they are all fakes.

Their results show the skulls were made using tools not available to the ancient Aztecs or Mayans

Circular reasoning at its best. "Since they didnt have those tools back then, they must be fake".


I must be missing something here...what exactly, shows them to be fake?

I'm gonna see the new Indiana Jones action flick,
that should give me enough info. instead of some BBC article
that is engaged in a mutual back-scratching routine with either the
pop-culture spokespersons or in cahoots with the film industry in general...

(i.e. a promotion piece by the BBC)

Yech... the effect would evoke a feeling of the Macabre
rather than the the Lord's sacrifice.

i realize that the crucifixion site was Golgotha (the skull)
but a clear crystal, human skull, in the round, is way too wrapped in
diabolical symbology to have a mix of a cross & a skull for normal Christians... of any era.



i recall that the 10 or so skulls, range in size from 4" to as big as 10",
some more detailed, but all are viable candidates for gazing or scrying practices... or exactly the opposite of mainstream religion based on faith & beliefs.
PS: a different array of 'tools' would be needed if one were to Grow the crystal skulls rather than sculpt and polish them

I agree. Even the article says that only two have been shown to be fakes.

So claiming that they are all "fakes" is a bit premature. Even further claiming that they are fake based upon which tools likely carved them is a bit of a stretch. The one that has the signature of carborundum is most certainly not an ancient artifact.

But saying that something is a fake based entirely on what tools may have been involved in the construct would render loads of ancient edifices and artifacts as "fake."
