The researchers were puzzled by the crystal head, which was carved very realistically. Not only the appearance, but also the internal structure of the human cranium bone structure are completely consistent. And the level of craftsmanship is extremely high, hidden in the base of the prisms and eye sockets with hand-faceted lens pieces combined together, found dazzling bright light. As we know, modern optics came into being in the 17th century, and mankind's accurate knowledge of its own skeletal structure came only after the rise of anatomy in the 18th century. This crystal head is in a very good understanding of human bone structure and optical principles based on the carving, more than a thousand years ago, the Maya is how to master these profound knowledge of anatomy and optics? Also, the crystal that is quartz crystal, its hardness is very high, second only to diamond (i.e., corundum) and corundum, with copper, iron or stone tools, are unable to process it. Even modern people, to carve such crystal products, can only use the gold steel stone and other modern tools. And more than a thousand years ago, the Mayans did not know how to make iron, and what kind of tools they used to process this crystal head? Could they have mastered some kind of technology that we don't know yet?
According to an old Indian legend, in ancient times there were thirteen crystal skulls in one ****, as big as human skulls, with movable jaws, able to speak and sing. It is said that these skulls can provide human beings with information about the origin
and death of mankind, but also help mankind to solve the mystery of life in the universe. These information materials are not only very important for the study of human habitation
planetary trends, but also play a decisive role in the study of human reproduction. It is said that someday people
will find all the crystal skulls, gather them together, gather the great wisdom of mankind into one, and play their proper roles
. But the premise is that human morality and spirituality must reach a certain level, otherwise even if they are gathered together, it would be a blasphemy to the
great culture.
For the Maya, skulls and bones are as much structural principles in life as seeds. They provide a form for our human existence, much as seeds give life to plants. Flesh grows on our bones, just as leaves grow on plants. By using the same word to express all of these concepts, the Maya suggest to us that each person plays an active, life-creating role. Thus, for the Maya, the potential for life resides in death itself, and the skull is not only a symbol of death, but it also symbolizes life, regeneration and renewal.
Crystal bones are not alien skulls
In 2008, a team of scientists from the United Kingdom and the United States used electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography to examine crystal bones from the British Museum and the Smithsonian's collection, and found tiny rotating scratches near the eye sockets, teeth, and skull, a cutting and polishing technique that derives from the "spinning wheel. This cutting and polishing technique originated from the "rotating wheel" jewelry processing equipment, and the ancient Maya did not master this processing technology. The researchers deduce that the crystal bones were processed in Europe and made of colorless Brazilian crystal. It is likely to the ancient Maya mysterious relics sold to collectors after processing.
