They're lovely, and they're modern frauds. The oldest one dates back to 1940.

The questionable origin of the Mitchell-Hedges skull has not deterred belief in the skull's mysterious properties. Rather, at least 13 other skulls have mysteriously appeared over the years. Some of these skulls are claimed to have magical origins and healing powers.

So... what do scientists REALLY think about them?

However, a study of several crystal skulls by the British Museum in 1996 indicates that the only magic involved in the creation of these skulls was in keeping their fraudulent origin a secret. The study concluded that the skulls were made in Germany within the past 150 years. The recent origin explains how they were made with tools unavailable to the ancient Mayans or Aztecs.

Scientists have stated for years that these things are modern frauds. So how do they know?
Using electron microscopes, the researchers found that two of the skulls possessed straight, perfectly-spaced surface markings, indicating the use of a modern polishing wheel. Genuine ancient objects would show haphazard tiny scratches from the hand-polishing process.*

Does that mean "alien technology"? No... because the "alien technology" isn't anything super-advanced. I have grinding tools and stoneworking tools and could turn out the exact same thing -- no aliens needed.

If you check with the tribal peoples who supposedly had these skulls, you'll find that they're not authentic artifacts and that nobody had any such legends (as are reported) about them.
