Mayan Crystal Skulls and Quartz Technology

To the Mayan civilization, death was the giver of life. It was through the act of dying that one transcended through life into other dimensions. Legend has it that 13 life size crystal skulls exist carved of natural quartz crystal, some with movable jaws, that are said to "talk" or "sing." The skulls were said to be remnants from our earliest ancestors and that they contained information and knowledge.

Information on a grand scale. The skulls are said to contain the answers to human evolution, universal information, planetary information, and most valuable of all, humankind's destiny and true purpose. The legend claims that at a time of great need, the skulls will be discovered and reunited. The information they provide will save the human race. The legend forewarns, however, that mankind must be able to accept the knowledge morally and spiritually.

Variations of this legend exist in Native American tribes ranging from the Mayans, the Navajo Indians, the Aztecs, the Cherokee Indians, the Seneca Indians. These legends have been handed down through generations for literally thousands of years.

I'll skip right to the facts here. Frankly, the skull pictured shouldn't even exist. This is a photo of the Mitchell-Hedges Skull. There is a bit of mystery surrounding how this skull surfaced. Some, like the owner, claim that it was found in the jungle. Others have found record of it's sale at a well known auction house in the early part of this century. However it came to be discovered really isn't important. What is important is that we are discovering that what many thought to be mythology - is now becoming reality.

For generations, the Mayans spoke of great visions, prophecies, and wisdom obtained from "talking skulls." They claimed the skulls shot fire, sang, and spoke. Now, it seems, that may be somewhat true. The Mitchell-Hedges skull was sent to the Hewlett Packard labs in the early 1970's for intense study.

The results were absolutely startling and the scientists made the claim that "this skull shouldn't even exist."

Natural quartz crystal grows in the ground and can take billions of years to form. Intense heat and pressure is required as well as a "seed" crystal from which to grow from. As a result, impurities can run deep. As a matter of fact, much of the earth's natural quartz crystal contains impurities and retains no value to the electronics industry.

For those of you who don't know, quartz crystal is the basis to our modern day computers. However, the purest form is required and, as a result, scientists now must grow their own quartz using a natural seed from which to grow it from.

So now that you have an understanding of the rarity of a large natural, virtually pure, piece of crystal - let's get into the astonishing results the HP scientists reached. The skull was submersed into Benzyl alcohol, having exactly the same refractive index of pure crystal. When this was done, the skull "disappeared" indicating it was of the purest, natural, form.

A polarized light test concluded that the piece was one large, natural, piece of crystal. It was not created by fusing several together. Amazingly, the detachable lower jaw was carved from the very same piece of crystal. Pure crystal is a hard material, being only slightly softer than diamond. But it has a very brittle quality and shatters rather easily. The scientist determined that carving the skull using modern day tools could take up to one year.

The scientists felt that it was not even possible to do so using these tools. The heat and vibration would surely crack the crystal. The scientists took particular note of that with regards to the bottom jaw and the teeth. There was simply no way modern day equipment would not damage the piece. The scientists magnified the skull and found no tool marks, tool chatter or scratches. As a result, the HP scientists had to conclude the skull was carved by hand. This was a phenomenal discovery to them. This would have had to have been done by rubbing the crystal with sand and water. According to the HP scientists. . . .this would've taken 300 years.

They also concluded that the sand used would've had to have been graded down from finer sand to more coarse sand. One wrong rub and it all could have been over. Not only was this one rare, large, pure, piece of natural quartz crystal, but for those of you who don't know this - crystal conducts energy. It's what is called piezo-electric crystal.

This is precisely the type of crystal that is used in modern electronics, computers, time keeping devices, radios, radar and sonar.

This means the crystal has both positive and negative polarity similar to that of a battery. If you apply pressure to the skull - it generates electricity. As well, it changes molecular shape if you apply an electric current to it which affects its density. It can carry a current in six directions. In any other direction, it becomes an insulator. More interestingly, it is also vertically oriented as well. The axis runs directly through the center of the skull. If you apply an electric current to the top, it changes shape and the current passes through the bottom. If you reverse the direction, the polarity reverses.

The skull is capable of channeling light through the bottom and directly out the eye sockets - like a laser - due to its incredible optical axis. And it can generate enough heat through its optical qualities and can start fires by directing beams of light through the eye sockets. This must've been quite a sight to the Mayan people during rituals.

Here's where it gets really strange. Light travels faster in one direction through the skull than in the other. If you direct polarized light at the skull, it passes quicker through one area and, as a result, the skull rotates the light traveling along its axis. The skull is resistant to chemical damage and can hold an electrical charge at a constant frequency. The skull can hold energy. What does this mean? It means that the skull can send electrical impulses and vibrating waves of information.

Technically, the skulls CAN contain information - just like the Mayans have claimed for thousands of years in their mythology. Could it be that we have discovered the Mayan equivalent of a modern day computer?

In the late 60's and early 70's I read about the crystal skulls as a young teenager. The skulls then faded into oblivion until maybe 3 years ago when I discovered the internet. I've found many reads about the skulls and I must admit this was the most interesting and informative. I certainly hope to see more here.

First, the hardness assertion that quartz is one of the hardest minerals in the world is not true. On the Mohs Hardness Scale http://geology.about.com/library/bl/blmohsscale.htm quartz is the standard for "7" on a scale of one to ten. Diamonds are 10.

Second, ALL quartz is piezoelectric: if you apply pressure to it, it generates a weak electric charge. It's nothing special about the skull that makes it do that - it's the fact that it is made of quartz in the first place.

Don't get me wrong; the skulls are interesting to me as well, especially since modern tools probably could not duplicate them - but that doesn't necessarily mean that they possess mysterious powers.

Anonymous said...

Okay the studies were done in the 70's and "interesting things" were concluded. With the advances in the technology of the early 21st Century, especially with nanotechnology couldn't an "interface" be developed to read the information contained within the skulls? I read recently that data could be stored at the molecular level, basically infomation could be stored with in the leave of trees or upon the wings of a bird. If the Skulls have knowledge, then let them speak the wisdom so humanity could learn from the wisdom therein.

Has anyone ever thought that the Mayan. Might have been visited by a time traveller and given the skulls as a communication device. The mayans calander run out on dec. 21, 2012. maybe they know something to helps us change but it seems were not changing.

The longer I live the more I have come to beleive that mankind is an experiment created by a being or beings greater than ourselves-perhaps coming from another time or place. It seems to me that perhaps the "experiment is drawing to a conclusion" and that we may have been allowed to determine it's outcome. It would be no surprise to me if these skulls existed as a remnant of a far greater technology than we as humans have experienced. Perhaps we still have time to save ourselves, but it would require a radical change in consciousness to do so.

the fact that most believe that we are "doomed" as beings may be the whole premise for a conscienceness change deemed neccesary. the fact that the human race as a whole overwhelmingly believes this may be the cause for this predicted demise in 2012. I know that all humans can tell the difference between hate and love. The problem is that some have a different perception of the two and would disagree with each other's definition. Plato will tell you this in just about all of his writings. There is no definition, it is universal. Those that are truly "good" are on the opposite "pole" than those that are truly "bad". If these poles change or reverse who is either good or bad? it is all perception. Those that think they are good may be on the way to realize they are really bad and vice versa. The change in polarity may be in reference to the change in the perception of the way that we live, separated with boundaries and borders, dominated by tangible things such as pieces of land (which is the basis for wealth if you really think about it). More specifically the "Holy Land". This is where this way of thinking all begins and ends?

Well...has anyone considered aliens creating this? Its thought that some civilisations have been visited in the past by aliens...maybe these skulls were made by some advanced alien civilisation and if we could read the information stored within them maybe humanity has a chance to redeem itself. "The information they provide will save the human race. The legend forewarns, however, that mankind must be able to accept the knowledge morally and spiritually." Maybe this knowledge is that we are doing something wrong.Humanity could be morally wrong as a race or just stupid and aliens knew this long ago and decided to pass these skulls to us.Maybe aliens even led us up to this point in time.Maybe in 2012 humanity will be judged...

Anonymous said...

Yes, many believe that aliens could be the ones responsible for providing humans with the skulls, although there are other explainations that would remain unadressed. I am aware although have limited knowledge on the subject of dark matter. Could this be the rift through which a change in dimension? What about black holes? Aliens could very well be our judges, but what of a single being? Could a single being with the ability to convey a larger message exist? And what of the various civilizations? How is it that not all civilizations are not known to have crystal skulls but are on the same page of the Mayans?

If anything, based on biblical descriptions of the anti-christ, Barack Obama would be far more likely than McCain. Though I doubt either of them are the anti-christ.

Also, what people don't ever seem to point out is that perhaps we were meant to change and avert our own destruction...but maybe we've already done that. Everyone assumes that we are heading for disaster but its also possible that we're actually far better than a previous version of society that ended up doomed.

There are two truths to every generation...The world is always getting better and everyone always believes the world is getting worse.

Those who seek power lie and cheat their way to the top. Those who have power submit to greed. Energy demands increase while supplies are coming to an end. All of us are becoming or have already become empty. We see the problems ahead, and yet we do nothing. Our recent President elect won because of a single proposition, "Change"... Though it is unclear what will change, people have shown the willingness to back that play. The problem is, most who would back that policy, have no idea what they are changing.

So I ask all that read this post, what secrets would you hope to find within the skulls? Whether you know it or not, I will sum it up in one word "Power".

We have not reached a state of being as of yet to handle what they may contain. Though, those who do not deny there inner desires are probably still trying to figure out a way.

Finally, we are not all either good or bad by design, we are both. Equally capable of choosing to be either. That is free will, that is your experiment. We, since the beginning of recorded history as a people have failed. Our choices have led us to destruction, hate and seperation. We have never taken the step to push ourselves to become a better society. We only take cosmetic steps to blind us of the reality.

I hope, great leaders will surface in the world. Not one, or two, but many, willing to lead us in to the era of mankind.

Okay.
1. There is not just good and bad, everything is not all black and white. Things are not ALL bad or ALL good. Maybe your house is on fire but you can look in the tree and see a chrysaliss opening to reveal a butterfly and you can't say that every moment of that day was "bad".
2.Are you saying we were better in recorded history? We have not "failed". We as a species have acheived amazing, wonderful things. We've had to adjust ourselves, its all trial and error, but imagine, we've invented governments, and religion. We've harnassed lightening and we can predict natural disasters. We've been to the Moon! (unless you think thats a theory too, and considering everyones cynicism I wouldn't be surprised.)
3. Yes we have tried, and sometimes we have succeeded. People right now and all through the past have tried to fix what in their eyes was a failing world. Currently, we have our president-elect to try his hand at it.

It's not easy to be optimistic, but even though one might think 'tis much nobler to sit in a corner and wallow in the sorrows of our failures, its not. Thats the lazy way to go. Suck it up and look on the bright side. When the world explodes and Bambi and mermaids come out to sing that we're gone then you can say "I told you so, we do suck!".

Until then, have a heart.

The simplest of man yet the most fierce when it comes to defending their mother land and beliefs. Now as dooms day approaches, the remdamdts of a humble and simple society have collided with technology. The Arab countries have pieced the Nuclear Bomb trough the decades. Human nature will be obvious as we corner the "beast", a great attack will be felt, and it will echoe worlwide. The beggining of the end WW3 nuclear holocaust is almost inevitable. Beliefs collide as man seeks power and uses religion as an excuse, we have chosen this path. God has shown his wrath by sendin grief upon us, change was not subtle.

The cataclismic predictions of the date 21 December 2012 is wrong! The alignment of the earth & sun with the center of our galaxy will not have any effect on earth until it moves out of the alignment! It makes sense to believe the alignment will mean perfection & harmony & not chaos & devastation. Yes it would be the upset in balance for the Mayans who predicted this date because they were a primitive & evil, ancient society, who worshipped murder & suffering. To them their harmony of evil in the world is coming to an end on that date when all shall be good. But beware all ye people who are too busy waiting for something bad to happen! Is this not evil? While you are doing this you shall have already missed the good & peace which shall occur in the short time that it happens!

July 9, 2008 -- How about this for the next installment 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.

Scientists from those two prestigious institutions on Wednesday said their crystal skulls were cut, honed and polished by tools of the industrial age, not by Mesoamerican craftsmen of yore.

"The skulls under consideration are not pre-Columbian. They must surely be regarded as of relatively modern manufacture," they say.

"Each skull was probably worked not more than a decade before it was first offered for sale."

The skulls became star exhibits in all three museums long before the Indiana Jones movie, "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," hit the movie screens this year.

The superstitious deemed them part of a collection of 12 skulls, endowed with healing or mystical powers, that dated back to the ancient culture of Central America.

Reuniting all 12 skulls, together with a putative 13th, would conjure up a massive power that would prevent the Earth from tipping over on December 21 2012, the "doomsday" in the Mayan calendar, according to one fable.

Legend-lovers had a bad day on April 18 when the Quai Branly said it had found grooves and perforations in its 11-centimeter (4.4-inch) -high quartz skull revealing the use of "jewelery burrs and other modern tools."

Doubts had also surfaced about the skulls in London and Washington, with art experts noting they were unusually large and with teeth markings that were exceptionally linear.

Seeking the verdict of science, researchers from those two museums examined the skulls with electron microscopes, looking at tiny scratches and marks left by the carving implements.

These were then compared with the surfaces of a crystal goblet, rock crystal beads and dozens of greenstone jewels known to be of genuine Aztec or Mixtec origin.

The study appears in the Journal of Archaeological Science, published by the Elsevier group.

The skull in the British Museum, purchased in 1897, is made of transparent rock crystal and is 15 centimeters (six inches) high. The Smithsonian skull, acquired by the museum in 1992, is of white quartz and measures 25.5 cms (10 inches) in height.

The investigators found that rotary wheels gave the British skull its sharp definition, a drill had dug out the nostrils and eyes, and diamond or corondum had been applied with iron or steel tools to smooth its upper surfaces.

As for the U.S. skull, "faint traces" of tool marks remain, but these too are consistent with rotary wheels or grinding pads, the authors say.

No evidence has ever been found that rotary wheels were used to cut stones in Central America before the arrival of Europeans.

The investigators also found a black-and-red deposit in a tiny cavity of the Smithsonian skull. X-ray diffraction showed it to be silicon carbide -- a tough compound that only exists naturally in meteorites but is widespread in modern industrial abrasives.

Joe said...

Tiny irregularities in the quartz suggest the mineral for the London skull came from the European Alps, Brazil or Madagascar, while the quartz for the Washington skull had "many potential sources," including Mexico and the United States.

The sleuths pored over the archives of both museums, the Museum of Mankind in Paris, the French National Library, the Hispanic Society of America and newspaper records in a bid to find where the skulls came from.

The only documentation existing for the Smithsonian skull indicates it had been purchased in Mexico City in 1960. The scientists believe the skull was "probably manufactured shortly before it was purchased" there.

As for the British Museum and Quai Branly skulls, the paper trail leads to a French antiques collector by the name of Eugene Boban Duverge.

Boban had a shop in Mexico City and parlayed his way to the salons of Paris thanks to the 1863-67 "French Intervention," when troops of France's Second Empire invaded Mexico.

He built up a collection of 2,000 pre-Columbian artifacts, the biggest in Europe at the time. It included several crystal skulls, including the newly-unmasked fakes in London and Paris.

The skull that would eventually be bought by the British Museum was acquired by Boban between 1878 and 1881, possibly in Europe, the study says. In 1885, he tried to sell it to the National Museum of Mexico, but was turned down.

A year later, Boban sold it an auction to the New York jeweler's Tiffany's.

Two years later, Tiffany's sold the skull to a Californian businessman who nearly a decade later went bust and asked the jeweler to hunt for a new buyer.

So it was that Tiffany's vice president, George Kunz, made a pitch to the British Museum.

He recommended the purchase of "this remarkable object," sketched a past of colorful ownership, beginning with a Spanish soldier who had brought it back from Mexico, and quoting the opinion of others that the skull was of ancient Mexican origin but no-one knew for sure.

The rest, as they say, belongs to history... and human gullibility.

Joe,
I thank you for your comment here and your participation in this site. I have heard about (and also watched the special) on the recent findings, which are interesting. But thats all they are to me - interesting and nothing more. They certainly aren't definitive evidence to me.

It may be that some of the skulls are fakes, I simply do not know. But to make a broad, generalized statement that ALL are fakes because of the discovery of tool marks and linear lines is somewhat a stretch for me.

Indulge me and lets review this for a moment.

To say that ancient civilizations didn't have the necessary tools or knowledge of certain technologies to get the job done is an arrogant statement to make. We know that the egyptians made use of the bowdrill and lapidary drills, which are ancient rotary cutting tools,(http://www.geocities.com/unforbidden_geology/ancient_egyptian_copper_coring_drills.html) as well as stone saws which created very linear lines (http://www.theglobaleducationproject.org/egypt/articles/stonetech.php). These people had the knowledge, developed the tools and understood the value of rotation and leverage when working them and made superb use of it.

The only real piece of the writing that you referenced above that could possibly indicate the use of modern tools is the finding of silicone carbide. But this too can be explained because you see, in the very writing you referenced, it mentions that silicone carbide is a compound which is only naturally found in meteorites. And I find it quite interesting that the scientists claiming these findings didn't make a note of the fact that rare meteoritic iron has been found in tombs since the Old Kingdom, the period in the 3rd millennium BC when Egypt attained its first continuous peak of civilization in complexity and achievement(http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/trades/tools.htm). So one could look at that and say that these recent findings only lend MORE credence to the fact that some, if not all, of these skulls are indeed of ancient origin.

The simple evidence of tool marks, burrs and grinding doesn't render them as fakes in my book. One would expect to find faint evidence of this nature as our technological advances enable us to do so. Clearly, these ancient peoples had the knowledge of tools (cutting, grinding, drilling) and made use of them.

It is now known that ancient peoples even had the knowledge and use of battery power given the discovery of the Baghdad Batteries, which date from the Parthian occupation between 248 BCE and 226 CE, with their origins being traced even further back to 2500 BCE (http://www.world-mysteries.com/sar_11.htm). Yet modern man credits this invention to a gentleman by the name of Alessandro Volta (hence the electrical unit known as the volt) in the year 1800.

It seems the knowledge of the ancestors had been lost until finally being rediscovered again in the year 1800.

Should we say that because the Egyptians didn't have the use of large cranes and heavy lifting or hauling equipment - that they didn't construct the pyramids? The pyramids must be fakes because we discovered that tools were used to construct them? Tools we may not have thought to have been in use at that time? And that because we haven't figured out exactly how it may have been done - that means they must not have done it?

Sounds ludicrous doesn't it?

I think at times modern man is so arrogant that we underestimate our ancient ancestors and their knowledge. As time continues, we discover that these ancient civilizations were much more advanced than we had ever previously imagined (http://www.theepochtimes.com/news/6-4-1/39954.html) and the fact that we underestimated them in the first place is a sure sign of our modern arrogant nature.

Again Joe, I thank you for your contribution here and for getting a great discussion on the matter going. But the recent findings you cited really don't solve the mystery in my book.

Whoever that other depressed anonymous poster is.... get a hold of yourself.who the hell are you to judge all of humankind. Some people think there are lost enzymes or acids that the ancients used to make those skulls. There are so many lost trades that people don't perform anymore since they had been passed down to apprentices in the past. These skulls might just represent a lost stone polishing technique. Whatever their origins, they are pretty shiney objects aren't they? On December 21 2012 do yourself and your loved ones a favor and don't drink the Kool-aid. Do you really have any good reason to assume the Mayans had info about the end of the world. Could their calander have been so accurate if it didn't run out of cogs on those little wheels at some point. Always question the motives of people telling you to be afraid.

Before anyone can change anything of humanity and their selves for a global unified purpose of whatever may happen 12/21/2012. We must consider who benefits from chaos? Why does the world close their eyes to a much more powerful and secret society. The Free Masons... I dont know the true intent of their Ideals of New World Order, but I can see the skulls being of great interest to them, or a great threat as well... I have read that economy and control is the driving force of The Masons. They have guild halls in every major city world wide, if not all communities of North America. It is a fact that their guild transends borders and boundaries, races and diplomatic parties. It is not just a billionairs club of power mongering old fogys, trying to prove their existentialism. There is a force behind the pupets that they are. Many of the great inventors and politicans that formed modern society were Free Masons. They own most corporations if not all, franchieses and banks. If there is power or information within the "13" (their favorite number) skulls they would be the ones who eagerly wish to possess them. There is a Masons guild in my home town. If you take the time to learn a little of them, you might agree with some of the crap I am saying. If I could I would do something to expose their true intents, but mostlikely nobody would belive me. Oh yeah they control alot of the television most people watch... That was how they got George Bush Jr into office... That is how they started the war in IRAQ...

the skulls are man made, and basically a HOAX.
the mayans were killers, and cruel, not a group of people we should look to for enlightenment.
2012 is means nothing, if anything, it will be huge solar flares that detroy people, and crops.

stop promoting bullshit, like so many others.

Anonymous,
I'm really glad you showed up. You seem to have all the answers so thanks for clearing this matter up for all of us.

The Mayans may have been savage in nature, but you did not live in their world so do not judge. As for me personally, I do not think that is reason enough to overlook their great achievements as a culture and a society.

(Thanks for clearing up that pesky 2012 issue for all of us, too.)

And as for your order to stop promoting BS like so many others . . . I would like to first ask 1.) What are you doing here then? and 2.) inform you that I live in a country of free speech and I shall continue to discuss and/or promote any matters that I see fit here.

You should simply enact your free will - and choose not to visit.

You're a genius, you know that right?

I've tried reading all of this, and still i can't make any sense of it.

Therefore, I have decided, that the weeks leading into 21.12.12 are better spent with a bottle of bubble, a cocktail of drugs and some friends.

Our last week on earth would be better spent with some fun, as opposed to shitting our pants.

To those of you contemplating suicide (cough, IDIOTS) Think about it, you could swallow yourself some mr sheen dish detergent, cut yourself, faint and vomit, or, die of something natural, or by complete accident!

Example, you could die of a heart attack, a car accident, a plane crash (or god forbid, anal cancer) OR you could get swatted in an instant by a giant asteroid or burned to a crisp by the sun.

Now's the perfect time to get healthy! Look after yourself, and take your pick.

I very much anticipate 2012, but if i wake up on the 22nd with a hangover, syphlis and another strange rash and the worlds still in working order... Boy am i going to feel like an idiot...

And just for the record, i don't condone the use of drugs, hell I'm too paranoid to take medication! That's just the inner 'hey dude, you'll be dead in 3 years, do something interesting!' me, talking.

2012!

2012 has to be something pretty amazing for the mayans to speak of this

Anonymous said...

We live in interesting times...IF indeed 2012 does come true, there's NOTHING we can do to stop it, so why worry?

Enjoy life and think we will see something BIG that may happen.

How cool!

If the Skulls are like a modern day computers why not let a computer company set a laser at the top of the Skull and let it read the Skull like it would a cd or dvd disc.Who knows maybe the Mayans did the same thing but using one of the other Skulls at the top of the Skull when the eyes were shooting laser like light.Back then that might have had a different effect than it would now days.It's possible that each Skull has different information.Like a book.One could be past history, medical history,farming,etc. others maybe on different times in earth's evolution.Then there is the one that could be of possible future events.I have never seen a real Crystal Skull but it seems likely that they hold information like a computer and could be read like a cd or dvd or even set up like a computer so that there would be gigs of information just waiting to be found.It could also be that this little reply goes unnoticed and no one will ever try it.
There is a slight and I mean very slight chance that these Skulls were not created on earth and the information in them is from someone that wants to help us survive or to move to the next level of intelligence.I have always said that I'm not the brightest man around but sometimes I have my moments of great thought.

There have been many end days predicted since the beginning of time. Just recently, does anyone remember December 31, 1999, or Hale-Bop Comet. I guess we just try to make it through this one like we did all the rest, what choice do we have? I plan on stocking up on wine. I mean you can keep it in huge barrels and if the world is coming to an end at least I will have a good drink! Alos, if the world doesn't end, at least I will have a good drink! LOL

I believe the children are our are future, teach them well and let them lead the way.
Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier.
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be.

Everybody searching for a hero.
People need someone to look up to.
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs.
A lonely place to be so I learned to depend on me.

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows.
If I fail, if I succeed.
At least I live as I believe.
No matter what they take from me, they can't take away my dignity.
Because the greatest love of all, is happening to me.
I found the greatest love of all, inside of me.
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve.
Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all.

I believe the children are our are future, teach them well and let them lead the way.
Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier.
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be.

And if by chance, that special place.
That you've been dreaming of leads you to a lonely place.
Find your strength in love.

Again, I will say that scientific references are listed in detail (along with photos of the scientists actually performing the studies on the skulls in the 70's) in the book:

"The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls: Unlocking the Secrets of the Past, Present, and Future."

By Chris Morton and Ceri Louise Thomas

A lot of people say the human kind is a waste. You keep complaining of how the world works right now. I think everyone can agree to some degree. You guys aren't asking yourselves the more important questions. What do you want in life? Money, nice car the american dream? The worst part of the american dream is that it came true.

You have drug dealers living more lavishly then people working 60 hrs of hard labor. You got cops doing deals with them. You got lawyers and judges, willing to change what they think because of how much you pay them. What happened to the word honor?

These crystal skulls are not to represent power. To me they represent "truth". If i could have just the glimmer of hope that even if i do die that i can understand why i am here, that is good enough for me. i don't want to be surrounded by the bs that world has come to now. I hope people do change their ways. The only way for that to happen is close to an ultimate cleansing.

How can so many people fail to realize this. It is no about death, it is about the way you lived.

If someone put a gun to your head, what would be the last thing you wish you would have done before you died? Would you have regrets? Would you have fear? Would you be a coward and cry? Or would you meet your end like a man (or woman) and be happy with the life you have had.

To truly appreciate life, one must understand the concept of death.

Now tell me.

How did that food for thought taste?

Anonymous said...

Maybe the mayans got it wrong 12-21-2112 seems more mathmatical to me. However I do agree with most here, only good can come for the future based upon what human kind has already done to mother earth.

To Anonymous (That used curse words in your comment, which I was unable to post because of your use of abusive language, anger and unadulterad hatred. I feel sorry for you, that you're so negative and hateful over an article on the web. Gees.):

1.) The reason that they're aren't any scientific references that scientifically support the hypothesis that the world will end - IS BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IT WILL, nor do I believe that I stated that it will. That is your own assumption. I am not an advocate of "doomsday" prophecies. In fact, I believe the opposite. I believe 2012 is merely a symbolic reference for an "evolutionary leap. This is simply food for thought, my friend.

2.) As far as overgeneralizing the properties of quartz - quartz produces electricity. Period. It is what it is. I don't believe I stated that only piezo-electric quartz does. Here's what I said, "but for those of you who don't know this - crystal conducts energy." And yes, the purest form is required for our modern day technology, which is why it is lab grown. The skull is made of piezo electric crystal and that's what that reference is about.

3.) "You end with the statement that the skulls "contain the knowledge of mankind's existence. None of what you say in your article is based upon empirical evidence." I like the way that you left the most important part out to support your angry rant. You make it look like I claimed my thoughts to be fact when the REALITY of what I said was, "the skulls CAN contain knowledge." The word "CAN" means it's simply a possibility, not a fact, my friend. This is my blog and those are my thoughts. I'm not here to change everyone's mind, only to make them open theirs up.

4.) "I suggest you at least attempt to provide some scientific studies that support your claim that only "pure" quartz will produce a voltage." Again, I don't believe I stated that only "pure" crystal produces a voltage . . .here's the REALITY of what I said, "but for those of you who don't know this - crystal conducts energy." Of course, any logical thinker with a brain, however, would realize, the purer - the better - as imperfections affect it's abilities. Again, which is why it is lab grown for our technological purposes.

5.) "I know for a fact that "baghdad batteries" are complete and utter BS" . . . well, thank you for enlightening us all with YOUR FACTS - none of which you provide any of your own scientific support for.

6.) "God I hate conspiracy theories" . . . I don't see a conspiracy theory here. I see you making one up and "twisting" this. Whose working this so-called conspiracy you're referencing? What is this suppossed conspiracy about? Whose working who in your imaginary conspiracy? Do you think our government is hiding some ancient Mayan knowledge and there's some big government conspiracy about Mayan crystal skulls or something? That's just ridiculous and you sound childish in your assumptions and the way you diced this article above apart and "twisted" everything to support your anger. The piece starts out stating it's a legend, my friend. And these pieces are merely to create discussion and "food for thought." I'm no expert nor do I claim to be. This is my blog, I'll write about what I want to write about and state my thoughts openly. You don't like them, don't visit or start your own blog and spew your hatred there. You put your "twist" on everything I said to support your ridiculous claims and facts that you provide no scientific proof for yourself.

7.) "I really find the entire Mayan Calendar theory to be an utter load of crap." LOL! This my favorite part! So know I just have to ask, why then, my friend, are you here reading about it? And not only are your here reading about it, you're so passionate over the matter that you're leaving long, cursing, abusive, ranting comments over it. If it was crap, why waste your precious time? I simply take it you like to inflame discussion forums, I guess.

Really nice of you to drop by, my friend. However, I cannot publish comments loaded with anger, negativity, hatred and abusive, immature language on this site. I will not offend other readers here with your offensive language. You're aweful passionate about a subject which you claim to have no use for. And again I ask, where did I state that the end of the world was coming in this article? You sound like a religious zealot (and you did provide a bible link in your comment, hmm). And why are you asking for scientific references about the end of the world, when it wasn't discussed in this piece? For that matter, why would ANYONE ASK or EXPECT a factual scientific reference about something that is simply theory? There is no scientific reference for the end of the world, my friend. It's all only theory and speculation and thought provoking and maybe you shouldn't take it so very seriously and get so heated and passionate about it spewing anger, hatred and abusive language across the net. Why so angry, my friend?

The Mayan calender says the year 2012 is a part of some great event in the Earth's cycle.

Edgar Cacye "when the year is 7 and the dead rise from thier graves"
1-1-2012 = 1+1+2+1+2= 7
1-1-2012= 1+1+20+12=34= 7
1-1-2012= 1+1+2+12= 2+14= 16= 7
No matter how you add up New's Year's Day's date 1-1-2012 it will come back to 7. I am taking notice.
/***********************/
1-1-2009 = 1+1+2+9= 13 = 4
1-1-2009= 1+1+20+9=31= 4
1-1-2009= 1+1+2+9= 2+11= 13= 4

whats the big deal????
you will find such constants in every New's Year's Day's!!!!!

Mayans never said anything would 'end.' They lived through 'cycles.' We do too with our clocks and calendars. When the clock strikes 12, we do not fear an 'end.' It simply starts back at 1. It's ok.

Anonymous said...

The fact is the world will end sometime within the next 4 billion years. Whether it's today, 2012 or 3 billion years into the future doesn't matter much. It's just a matter of time really. At the precession of the equinox when the poles reverse, or the Earth's magnetic field takes a beating or an asteroid ploughs into the Earth what are the odds of survival anyway?

Question: Using technology today, Has anyone or anything tried to put a face to any or all of the skulls? Are all the skulls exactly the same or are they different and unique as human skulls are? If so, who's faces are represented among them (Nostradamus,DaVinci,Einstein?)and what significance may that have to the mysteries surrounding them?
