The Search is On… 2012 Mayan prophecy and the Crystal Skulls

The human skull is composed of one of the most durable substances found in nature and the dome shape is immensely strong, protecting the brain from injury or damage. The skull is an ambiguous symbol of both death - and its opposite - immortality. Head cults existed throughout the world, most notably amongst the Mayan people of Central America who, many thousands of years ago, decorated real human skulls with gemstones (such as the beautiful turquoise skull in the Mexican Gallery of the British Museum). The native Mayan people wore small decorative carved skulls as ornaments around their neck carved from jadeite, quartz and other gemstones.
Crystal skulls are some of the largest polished gemstones in the world. There are believed to be 13 in total. Three are in public museums, two are shown at special events by their private owners and the other seven are in unknown hands. Modern science cannot effectively date them, however, some say they are 1,000 years old and others claim they were made by Cosmic Elders and are up to 35,000 years old. Doubters say that most of them were made just over a hundred years ago by a European faker of South American antiquities who enjoyed a “skulduggery” joke on gullible purchasers. It is known for sure that, in most cases, the crystal definitely originates from Central and South America.
The ancient Greeks found transparent rock near Mount Olympus, home of the Gods, and called it “Krustallos” - their word for ice. They thought it was amazing that something as hard and as solid as rock could be as clear and transparent as water. This crystal substance is also known as ‘quartz’ stone and is the most abundant type of rock in the world. There are large mines of quartz in the Alps, Brazil, Madagascar and the US. Due to its special properties, it is used in mobile phones, computers and life saving medical equipment. The stone emits a regular pulse, and this constant vibration is used to maintain accurate time. It is also the vital ingredient of silicon chips and our communication systems could not operate without it.
Modern gem-cutters are astounded that the crystal skulls have been finely modelled and honed without the use of advanced diamond cutting instruments, and, as all have been carved against the grain or axis of the strata of the stone, it is unknown how the artefact did not shattered under the strain of the carving. Some skulls are as large, or even larger, than the human skull, and carved from a single block of quartz stone.
The most widely celebrated a flawless transparent rock quartz gem that weighs almost 12lbs. It is a masterpiece of carving. It was discovered by the British explorer, F. A. “Mike” Mitchell-Hedges, whilst he was excavating a collapsed altar of a Mayan temple in the jungle village of Lubaantum, British Honduras. The item was actually found by his adopted daughter, Anna, on her seventeenth birthday, and was kept in her possession until she died at the age of 100 in 2007. She was told by the Mayan people that the owner of the skull could use it to “will” death and it was known as “The Skull of Doom” due to its malevolent reputation. This skull emits a blue light from its eye sockets, it has crashed computers, and is now in the possession of Anna’s partner, Bill Homann. This crystal was used as a logo for Arthur C Clarke’s Mysterious World series. It comprises of two parts, the upper skull and the separate jawbone. There is a mystery surrounding it because Sotheby’s in London state they sold it to Mr Mitchell-Hodges in 1943 for £400, a princely sum in those days and it is now estimated to be worth half a million pounds. Anna explained that the stone was lent to secure an unpaid debt and bought back by her father in the auction. The stone brought her dreams of the Amerindian people of two thousand years ago.
Also in private possession is a crystal skull named Max. it belongs to Mrs JoAnn Parks of Texas, USA, and it weighs an amazing 18lbs. This was given to JoAnn by a red hat lama, named Norbu Chen, who was given the crystal by a Gautamalan shaman who found it in a tomb. JoAnn travels around America showing the crystal and believes it came from outer space. There is an opaque, purple quartz crystal skull called the Amethyst which is shown at special events by its owner and a smoky quartz one called ET, also in private ownership.
British Museum has a transparent crystal skull on display in Room 24. The stone, only 6lbs, is thought to originate from Brazil. It was bought from the New York jeweller, Tiffany for £120 in 1897.
The Musée du Quai Branly in Paris has a crystal skull that is considered to be a twin of the British Museum skull. It weighs about 6lbs and is thought to have been bought by French mercenaries in Mexico in the 1890’s.
The Smithsonian Crystal Skull is in the Smithsonian Museum, Washington DC, USA and is carved from opaque white quartz. It is greater than life-size and weighs a staggering 31lbs. It was given to the Museum by an anonymous donor in 1992.
The most powerful crystal skulls are thought to have been created by the highly evolved Mayan civilisation. Over two thousand years ago they were producing highly sophisticated architecture and artwork. Their temples show precise alignments and their astronomical observatories record the immense mathematical complexity the movements not only of the sun, moon and major planets, but also eclipses and transits of distant stars, all to a degree of accuracy beyond our present comprehension. The Mayan calendar shows that we are now completing the final years of a Venus cycle and entering the new Age of the Pleiades on the Winter Solstice of 2012.The Mayan people believed they came from this star group and that the transition from the Venus to the Pleiades will cause a global awakening.
Many legends and myths surround these extraordinary artefacts; do they come from Outer Space or were they made by the inhabitants of the legendary Isle of Atlantis? Certainly, the skulls possess a strangely hypnotic power. When white light is shone onto a skull, the crystal splits the light within, creating a prism of rainbow colours.
Crystal balls are used by clairvoyants for scrying because clear quartz has special properties. As quartz stone emits a regular pulse, it is thought that this resonates in harmony with the Earth itself and with the tissue and cell salts that comprises all life forms on this planet.
Mystic properties of the crystal skulls include that they are a container for divination, healing and communication of channelled knowledge about planetary awareness. They also possess the ability to foretell the evolutionary destiny of humankind. These crystals are said to amplify, focus and store Earth energy and to be able to transmit it for astral travel or to connect with super intelligent beings in other dimensions. The most important legend of the ancient Mayan people involves the Crystal Conclave. This legend tells us that the thirteen crystal skulls carved by the ancient Mayan people were impregnated with special frequencies and powers. At a time of great planetary crisis, the thirteen skull shaped stones will be brought together from all quarters of the world. When they come together as one, without separation, they will save the planet from imminent destruction and will reveal the past, present and future.
