 Fix your mind on a crystal day: 12-12-12 June 3, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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!
Great Book to read even if you're not a big reader!!! February 19, 2007

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?
 Perhaps the most comprehensive book on the subject June 20, 2006

This book often reads like a great adventure novel; however, at some points inthe story it can essentially be considered as such. This is a wonderful view into the world of the crystal skulls, and it is well worth the investment to anyone who chooses to work with these sacred tools. This is also a valuable book to any advanced stoudent of any application of crystals.
The Mystery Ends In 2012 August 31, 2005

This is an excellent book for those with a peaked interest in the interconnection of all people and our pasts. Or in laymen terms Crystal Skulls. This book takes a very broad examination of a very expansive subject. It does explore the most common beliefs/concepts about the skull, not just popular or scientific. They really combed the world to ask the right people. From Native American shaman to top level scientists working for Hewlett Packard when they conducted scientific tests on the Mitchell-Hedges Skull in 1970.
Excellent bibliography, an excellent beginning to a quality bookcase.
