British, US crystal skulls fake, scientists say

Appears 3 of these skulls are fakies.LOL oh wow no doubt.So that would probably make them all fake.

How about this for the next instalment of the Indy franchise: Indiana Jones and the Dodgy Antiques Dealer?

Less than three months after the Quai Branly Museum in Paris discovered that a crystal skull once proclaimed as a mystical Aztec masterpiece was a fake, it is now the turn of the British Museum and the Smithsonian Institution to find they were victims of skull-duggery.

Ah fakes

I predict that true believers will ignore this and continue to believe - probably just a little bit more - so as to keep the unwelcome news at bay.

hence the phrase "believers" i'd imagine

Belief is always good, dissent is very good but denialism is bad

Fakes or not, the Smithsonian is going to get a lot of money out of them. I always thought they were made in the 19th Century and never really read up on the crystal skulls. I do think they are very beautiful and interesting no matter who made them. A good conversation piece, like my grandfather's skull mug (it was glass).
