Indian crystal head mystery
According to the American Indians, their ancestors left them 13 speaking crystal skulls that know the past and can predict the future. He also said that one day, people will find all the crystal skulls, and they will gather them together, the great wisdom of mankind, and put them to use.
It has been passed down from generation to generation as a beautiful myth, but no one really knows what it is like, or even doubts that it really exists. But some archaeologists are convinced, even though no one has ever seen a crystal skull.
In 1924, a British explorer organized an expedition to Central America by water, along with his daughter. With the help of the locals, they finally found a site of Mayan civilization. But the ancient city was so covered in vines that it took them nearly a year to restore it to its original appearance.
The explorers were amazed at the sight of the ancient city, which was 150 feet high and covered seven square miles, far above the surrounding village, and was all made of cut white stone. The castle consists of pyramids, palaces, tombs, basements, etc. The Mayans built such a magnificent palace without any mechanical equipment, which shows the intensity of labor at that time.
The explorer's daughter was excited to see this, so she climbed to the highest point of the castle to explore the scenery. Then she suddenly felt a bright light deep in the crack of the pyramid. So she quickly told her father, and after the efforts of the expedition members, they finally moved the loose rocks around the crack, and finally found that the light was from a crystal that looked like a human skull, but this crystal skull was only the top half.
A few months later, the explorers found another half of the crystal skull nearby, which together were about the size of a real human skull. The entire skull is about 18 centimeters long, 13 centimeters wide and 13 centimeters high, and weighs about 6 kilograms. According to experts, this crystal skull is modeled after an adult woman's skull, carved with a complete crystal, exquisite workmanship, clever design.
The experts compared the crystal skull with a real human skull, and only the features of the eyes were slightly different from the real person, but the rest were almost identical. We all know that optics was produced around the 17th century, and people in the understanding of their own bone structure is also in the 18th century after the matter, and the person who carved the crystal skull should be very familiar with the human bone structure and optical knowledge, so more than a thousand years ago, the Maya really have such a high level of culture?
In addition, although the texture of crystal is hard, it is fragile, and what tools were used at that time to polish it? Therefore, scientists concluded that a thousand years ago, if people wanted to make such a crystal skull, they could only sand it down a little bit with water or fine sand, and the sander needed to work 24 hours a day for hundreds of years to make such a masterpiece.
The mystery of the crystal skull is so incredible that it has been speculated that it was not made by the Mayans, and may be the work of some extraterrestrial visitors. They gave it to the Mayans as a gift when they left, and they kept it until it was discovered by English explorers.
Scientists don't know for sure, but it's probably more acceptable when science can't explain some mysterious phenomenon.
If you have been to the British Museum, you will know that there are countless treasures on display. However, among the many treasures, the transparent crystal head is the treasure of treasures.
The discovery of a crystal head by archaeologists has always been an unsolved mystery. So, where did these crystal heads come from? And who made it? Why does the light emitted by these crystal heads vary so much from day to night?
The crystal head found by archaeologists has always been an unsolved mystery, and this discovery has attracted the attention of more and more archaeologists around the world.
Since the crystal head was first put on display in 1898, archaeologists have paid considerable attention to it. However, according to relevant information, these crystal heads are from New York. Tifani ’ Bought it at a jewelry store, and probably from the Azuti people of Latin America.
Later, through the mouth of the owner of the Tifani jewelry shop, archaeologists learned that the crystal head was sold to the shop by a British soldier in the late 18th century. Probably acquired by British and Chinese colonists from Mexico. After receiving this news, archaeologists rushed to Mexico. However, more than a hundred years later, archaeologists still have not been able to figure out how the crystal head came to be.
In 1927, an Englishman and his daughter Anna led an expedition to Luba in northern England. Ruins of the ancient city of Antum. As Anna walked through the wreckage, a harsh white light fell on Anna's face because of the fine weather that day. So she immediately crouched down and began to look.
Suddenly, she noticed what looked like a piece of glass under the mess of bricks. When she removed the broken brick, she was so frightened by the top half of the crystal's head that she nearly fainted. Anna's discovery attracted the attention of the expedition team. Another three months passed, and Anna, not far from discovering the top half of the crystal head, excavated the bottom half of the crystal head.
Later, the complete crystal head was presented to Michel free of charge. When Michel died in 1959, he passed the treasure on to Anna. After archaeologists identified the crystal head, it was determined that it would take at least 150 years to make the crystal head, and after it was carved, it had to be polished with sand grains.
Archaeologists also found that the crystal head had been buried in the ground for at least 3,600 years. The appearance of this crystal head has attracted more attention from archaeologists, and has also made the crystal head one of the mysteries of the world's archaeological community.
Since Anna discovered the second crystal head, scientists have been to the place where Anna found the crystal head to investigate and study. Eventually, an archaeologist named Xitufind found some clues here, but the crystal head only allowed people to understand that it was made of crystal pieces modeled exactly after a human skull.
Among them, this crystal head is inlaid with crystal teeth on the gums, a nose bone composed of three crystals, and its eye orbit is also a round crystal, this crystal head shows people an amazing aura.
The third crystal head is stored in the Musee des Hommes in Paris, France. However, for the crystal head of the coming, there are also different opinions. It is believed that the head was made in the 14th or 15th century by the Aztecs, a native American people in Mexico.
However, judging from its decoration, the Aztecs in the Middle Ages already knew the beauty and production technology of crystal. And they knew how to smelt copper very early on, because near this crystal head, there were some small refined copper tools found.
However, some archaeologists dispute this. They believe that the Indians at that time, in the 1940s period, still living in the forest, and living the life of primitive people, so it is impossible to have smelt copper, let alone master such superb carving technology.
Anyway, where did these crystal heads come from? By whom? When was it made? What was the purpose of making these crystal heads? These questions are unanswered questions.
