Product Description
The action movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has based its plot on the real crystal skulls, the story of which is documented in this book
• Investigates the Maya and Native American legends that tell of thirteen crystal skulls said to hold vital information about coming Earth changes
• By independent filmmakers Chris Morton and Ceri Louise Thomas, whose A&E documentary on the crystal skulls won high acclaim in the United States and abroad
• Over 100,000 copies sold worldwide
Native American legend tells of thirteen life-size crystal skulls said to contain crucial information about humankind’s true purpose and destiny. The legend prophesied that one day, at a time of great crisis for humanity, all thirteen crystal skulls would be rediscovered and brought together to reveal information vital to the very survival of the human race. To date several skulls have been discovered.
This book is the definitive guide to the facts and legends that inspired the May 2008 movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It explores what these mysterious crystal skulls are, where they came from, and what they may have to offer. The book follows Chris Morton and Ceri Louise Thomas on their journey of discovery from the ancient temples of the Maya to the British Museum, the Smithsonian, and to the crystal laboratories of Hewlett-Packard, where scientific tests on one of the skulls--made from the same quartz crystal used in today’s computers--lead to the conclusion, “This skull shouldn’t even exist.” Their journey also leads to Native shamans and elders who reveal the sacred knowledge and vital information that these skulls hold about coming Earth changes and humanity’s imminent destiny.

 Good for those that do not know about Crystal Skulls July 24, 2008
For me this book was a hard book to put down. It reads like a mystery book, your never sure what is going to happen next or where the writers are going to end up next. I feel it is an amazing ride with the writers into the world of the crystal skull world. They meet many different people with just as many different types of opinions on the subject of crystal skulls. I feel this is a good read for anyone who is wondering about the crystal skulls and some history too.

An interesting book but it leaves many doubts and questions. Maybe, it should knowing the subject. I believe that more should have been said or examined about the true and most sophisticated skull of the lot. How was it created and when and by whom. Was it really not possible for humans to have created this skull? It was fun reading.

This book is an wonderful adjunct when seeing the movie, "Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Crystal Skulls." The movie whets one's appetite to learn more about the real Mayan Legend of the 13 Crystal Skulls, that were originally found in Central America, but are now scattered all over the globe. Upon close examination of these skulls, scientists are baffled because since the skulls are made of clear quartz crystal, which takes hundreds of years to naturally form within the Earth.
Crystal cannot be carbon dated, so the age of these skulls is impossible to discern. The crystal skulls could be as old as the Earth or even older, or they can be only a hundred years old.
Nobody can test for sure....crystal is a carbonless element.
ALSO to add to the mystery - how were the skulls carved?
No one in antiquity could have possible carved these skulls from their raw and natural state; crystals being equisically fragile and very prone to breaking upon carving.
The authors of the book were present when one actual crystal skulls was taken for analysis at the Hewlitt - Packard plant. Scientists at HP are used to working with crystal with all their computer products that they produce and sell worldwide.
Scientists at HP were able to uncover one more potential clue to the mystery of the crystal skull. Other tests revealed the skull was made from a single piece of of natural quartz, but from "Piezo-electric" silicon dioxide, precisely the type of naturally occuring quartz so widely used in modern electronics.
Piezo is a greek word which means, "to squeeze."
Electose means, "To get a charge from."
So it was revealed that this skull was alike a magnet, possessing both positve and negative charge.
You will have to get the book and read it to understand the mulitfacet history of the crystal skulls and there are some wonderful color photos in the book, that show 12 or 13 crystal skulls.
It was necessary for the authors to travel all over the world to meet with anthropologists, scientists, crystal experts and aboriginal leaders in their quest to write this interesting book.
The only flaw is that the last 3 or 4 chapters are too repetitious in revealing possible theories of the skulls.
I will strongly recommend this book to anyone who has an appetite to understand the deeper meaning behind the film, Indie 4.
The movie veered way off the true meaning of the legends of the crystal skulls, because Hollywood needs to satisfy other needs to keep up with the movie box office.
The date projected for all the skulls to reunite is 12/12/12/*
Currently, all 13 skulls are far-flung from one another, scattered like dice all over the world.
Each skull has a devoted care-taker that will be responsible to bring their own skull to a mutual agreed upon location; possibly in Belize or a part of Mexico that has those ancient Mayan Temples, sitting silently in the tropical jungle.
Until that day, which is just around the corner from where we are sitting today, nobody has any real solid idea what type of information is contained within the crystal skulls.
It could change the course of our world and our human destiny, and I will remain hopeful that it will all prove to be positive.
12-12-12 is our big crystal day.
Read this book to best understand what may be coming!!!!

On Assignment with Adama: Mt. Shasta, Telos, Lemuria, and Sacred Earth Sites, Book I
The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls has become a textbook for my students at our Shambhala Center in Mount Shasta and is referenced in On Assignment with Adama. It has been a guide book for me!

Wow!!!! Great Book! I went to Mexico last year and visited Chichenitza and heard the stories of the crystal skulls and was entriged. This book (based on facts)takes you on an adventure of how some of the skulls were found and the effects they have on people. The history and native beliefs and also how scientifically; they are an enigma. I couldn't put this book down and I'm usually one of those people who starts to read and falls asleep in the middle of a chapter.... Not this book!!! It's great!! I highly recommend!!
*Have we entered a time of quickening and separation??
*Is 2012 the end or a beginning?
