Today I shall be discussing the Legend of The Crystal Skulls. The legend varies across all cultures, many people in today’s modern world choosing to settle on the Hollywood made Indiana Jones in which all the Skulls must be placed together in a Mayan Shrine on specific “Alters” so that the world can be saved.
An old Native American legend describes the existence of thirteen life-size human skulls made of rock crystal, that were said to speak or sing. According to the legend, these crystal skulls contain answers to some of the great mysteries of life and the universe. The legend also says that one, day at a time of great need, at a time of great crisis for humanity, all of these crystal skulls will be rediscovered and brought back together again to reveal their knowledge and information vital to the very survival of the human race.
There are very few legends that cross over cultures and times the way the crystal skull legends do. They are contemporarily shared by the Mayans, The Aztecs, the Native Americans and other indigenous people around the world (and in philosophical terms, they are recorded in Atlantean and Lemurian Times). These legends have been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, which attests to their enduring power.
The legend of the "Great Flood", which was passed down from ancient times, is one of the few enduring legends that is also shared by most cultures around the world - which scientists now confirm was real. While that event marked "an end time" for many people around the world, there may be some parallels to the Mayan Legends regarding 2012.
The more you learn about crystal skulls, the more you realize the power of multiple crystal skulls. There are many cultures that have legends about crystal skulls, sometimes involving different numbers of crystal skulls. However, "thirteen crystal skulls" seems to be the common denominator among most crystal skull legends.
Native American Cherokee Medicine Man, Harley Swift-Deer Reagan is quoted as saying: "The skulls were kept inside a pyramid in a formation of tremendous power known as the Ark. The Ark was comprised of the twelve skulls from each of the sacred planets kept in a circle, with the thirteenth skull, the largest, placed in the center of this formation. This thirteenth skull represents the collective consciousness of all the worlds. It connects up the knowledge of all the sacred planets.
Many believe that there is a strong connection between the crystals skulls, the Mayans and the Mayan Calendar ending in December 2012. While there is a current belief that more than 13 ancient crystal skull exist (some say 52, or 4 sets of 13), in recent years, the Mayans have spearheaded a grand reunion of North America's indigenous chiefs in an effort to unite forces towards the commonly foreseen future as recounted by the Mayan elders.
According to Mayan Priest/Shaman, Don Alejandro Cirilo Oxlaj Peres: "... The prophecy says now is the time of the awakening. This is your job now, to awaken. The Vale of the Nine Hells is past and the Time of Warning has now arrived. It is time to prepare for the Age of the Thirteen Heavens. The time of 12 Baktun and 13 Ahau is fast approaching, and they shall be here among you to defend Mother Earth. The prophecy says, 'Let the dawn come. Let all the people and all the creatures have peace, let all things live happily', for the love must not only be between humans, but between all living things. They said, 'We are the children of the sun, we are the children of time and we are the travelers in space. May all the songs awaken, may all the dancers awaken. May all the people and all things live in peace for you are the valleys, you are the mountains, you are the trees, you are the very air you breathe'....Now is the time of return of the grandmothers and grandfathers. Now is the time of the return of the elders. Now is the time of the return of the wise ones. And the wise ones are all of you. Now is the time to go out into the world and spread the light. The sacred flame has been kept for this purpose and now the time approaches when you will be required to love all things, to love a world that has gone crazy, to rebalance the heavens and the Earth. For the Time of Warning has come to pass and the Warriors of the Rainbow are now beginning to be born. The Vale of Tears, the Nine Hells, is over and it is time to prepare for the 13 Heavens. The ancestors are returning, my brothers and sisters, and we do not have long. Now is the time that the prophecies will be fulfilled."
Conspiracies abound, in hollywood and in homesteads. Are the whole proposed reasoning of the Crystal Skulls fake? Are they Real? Will we someday understand how Skulls like the Mitchell-Hedges skull that has absolutely NO discernable tool marks on it and CANNOT in this day and age be replicated so flawlessly have come into existence? Only time will tell. Perhaps on December 21, 2012 we will need to gather all (13 or however many) “Real” Skulls to save the world, I personally have my opinions, but try to keep an open mind until there is evidence to support one theory or another. Many have claimed to hear the skulls "talk, or sing" to them, reassuring them in times of distress, the larger ones are said to sometimes have iridescent lights coming from the eye sockets, and technologically, a few have even been rumored to wipe out entire hard drives. Real, fake, or massively misunderstood, the purpose and history of the Crystal Skulls will continue to intrigue people for years to come.
This is just a very brief glimpse over the Crystal Skulls Mystery, if you wish to know more I will make another post if 15 or more people request more info, otherwise I encourage you to research on your own. It's a fascinating story, with no clear beginning, middle, and surely no known ending.
What are your opinions?
Really interesting stuff. I'd never heard of the whole 'crystal skulls' thing before that Indiana Jones movie. And that movie sucked.
ReplyDeleteYea, they've been around for years. They just saw the chance to combine myth with fictional Indiana Jones and hope for a good movie. It wasn't that bad in my opinion, but eh.
ReplyDeleteIndiana Jones should be looking for this skull!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's interesting. I too thought that this whole "Crystal Skull" thing was made up in Indiana Jones. This sounds like something that the History Channel would have a field day with, how come nobody has ever brought it up?
ReplyDeletenice skull
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Crystal Skulls are still being made to this day or if they are only relics from the past.
ReplyDeleteThe History Channel has I believe done a few specials @Entry Level Translator, @Hifi: There are currently 2 classifications, Old being about 700-1500 years ago, and a few called Ancient that are thought to be over 1500 years old. Some, especially the Mitchel-Hedges Skull, are so perfect, no tool marks whatsoever, they cannot even be created using today's technology. It is thought that to explain this phenomenon that the skulls were shaped by hand over several human lifetimes, in any case, the Mitchel-Hedges skull has become famous after being scrutinized when one Professor concluded that such an artifact of perfection "should not even exist".
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!
