Have you ever seen a "crystal skull" that shines brightly? Not only that, but it can also talk and sing, is this really true? How many untold secrets are hidden behind it?
Crystal skull
In 1924, a 17-year-old girl, in the Mayan ruins of Belize in the Americas, found a crystal head, which is said to be at least 3600 years old and was hewn using a single piece of crystal. It is also the most delicate and only crystal skull found to date where the jawbone can be moved.
According to legend, this crystal skull has magical powers, and when the high priest issues a death order with the help of this skull, death will inevitably come, so it is also described as the embodiment of all evil.
However, this is not the only crystal skull in history, when the first crystal skull was discovered, a total of 12 crystal skulls have been found so far.
It is worth mentioning that in the legend about the Mayan civilization, there is also talk about 13 identical crystal skulls, which are said to be gathered together, and they can not only talk, but also sing.
Are these crystal skulls really as magical as the rumors say?
In 1976, 1996 and 2004, the British Museum, one of the world's largest and most famous museums, conducted a series of experiments on crystal skulls.
This research does not matter, it is not expected that the last mysterious Mayan skull, turned out to be one of the biggest scams in the history of archaeology, when this crystal skull was first unearthed, people thought that it could not be manufactured with the technology of the time, which also made people believe that it was a mysterious Mayan civilization.
However, this was not the case, it was simply that people at the time underestimated the manufacturing process, and in 2005 the British Museum concluded after several appraisals that the so-called crystal skull was not a Mayan relic at all.
Because scientists have found that there are no uneven marks left by hand grinding on these crystal skulls, but instead many perfect arcs left by lathes are now found, one of the most obvious of which is the saw wire that distinguishes the teeth, which is carved from jewelry tools invented in the 19th century.
Therefore, archaeologists have concluded that these crystal skulls were carved using modern gem-processing machine tools and then polished by modern machinery, in other words, these so-called Mayan skulls are all handicrafts.
Friends who know it know that from the 19th century to the 20th century, it was an era of gold panning, counterfeit antiques were rampant in the trading market, and there were naturally many scammers.
It's just that the person who made the crystal head "played" relatively large, and he combined the mystery of the Mayan civilization to produce such a chic and gorgeous work of art, coupled with a relatively reliable story, it can be smoothly sold to local richmen, collectors and even museums.
You may wonder, don't museums identify authenticity? This is actually because the skull symbol is very common in American civilization and has a very important symbolic significance, which has created one of the biggest scams in archaeological history, "Crystal Skull".
But from another point of view, these are all things that are rumored to be false, because the crystal skull is not recorded at all in the Mayan civilization, and serious archaeologists and historians study the history and social relations of the Maya civilization, and the reason why it can be related to the alien civilization is just people's speculation, what do you think about this?
