History of the Crystal Skulls - Part II (Discovery of Crystal Skulls in 19th Century)

Originally I was going to make this article just two parts but it would take many pages to discuss the major crystal skulls that have emerged since the 1800's. So we will only mention the main crystalline skulls or heads which either are documented to be discovered or that there are rumors of ones which surfaced sometime in the 19th century. This means we will be writing a Part III for this article series in the near future. Below find a description of the following crystal skulls that are known of today:
a) The Paris Crystal Skull (found in the 1860's) - a small single piece clear quartz skull with primitive features and a hole cut from top to bottom that was probably discovered in a tomb in Mexico by grave robbers. Eventually the skull is purchase from a French antiquities dealer and donated to the Trocadero Museum in Paris in 1878. The crystal skull is moved after 2000 into the Musee du Quai Branly near the Eiffel Tower. It is said that this could be an Aztec skull that was used in a death ceremony with it was placed on a pole and this is why the hole exists.
b) The British Museum Crystal Skull (found in the 1860's) - human size, a single piece of clear quartz probably also found in a tomb in Mexico which eventually found itself in the hands of a soldier of fortune who eventually sold it to the same antiquities dealer as the Paris Skull. It is recorded a gentlemen living in New York City eventually buys the skull (it had been offered to various world museums who thought it was a fake) who then sells this crystalline skull to Tiffany's, a New York Jeweler. In 1897 Tiffany sells the skull to the British Museum in London who has it on display in the early part of 1898. Initially this skull was on display at the Museum of Man, a sister museum to the larger British Museum but in 2004, the British Museum Crystal Skull moves it to the main museum on Russell Street where it has been on public exhibition ever since. When the Indiana Jones film came out in 2008, the museum did some type of tests upon the skull, as the Musee du Quai Branly did with their skull, and both museums claimed their respective crystallinr skulls were fakes or made by modern carvers in the 19th century.
c) National Museum in Mexico City (on display in the 1860's or 1870"s) is a collection of small crystal skulls that were purchased from individuals that had them in their possession. Mexico is known as a country where many of the crystalline skulls are hidden in the ground. As we move to Part III of this article series, you will learn more about this.
d) Reliquary Cross Crystal Skull (received from a Church in the 1860's in Mexico) - this is a small clear quartz skull with a hole cut from top to bottom to hold a cross that is dated 1571 which is made from quartz with gold embedded into it that is held by the Redo family. At a crystal skull conference in Mexico City in 2009, we met Mrs. Redo who has been the guardian of this skull for many years. At that time she informed us that her skull was in secured storage in England and was going to be offered for sale. Not sure if this crystalline skull has been sold to a new owner however.
e) President Porfirio Diaz of Mexico, various crystal skulls (from 1876 - 1911) - it is claimed on his desk that he had several skulls of which people who were contemporaries of his time wrote about seeing these skulls in his office but, we do not have a way to verify this statement. Further it is speculated that some of the crystalline skulls that we know of today may have been part of this set. This would include a large 30+ lb. hollow skull that was delivered to the doorstep of the Smithsonian Institute in 1992. There was a note left with the skull by an anonymous donor that suggested President Diaz had this crystal skull. Also there was discussion of an amethyst crystal skull that President Diaz had which could be another skull we have seen photos of that were sent to us by a private owner that lives in California. This amethyst skull appears to be of a simple design and has a dark purple color. Again neither of these crystal skulls can be confirmed but there are stories which are being told.
What we can state however is that in the 1800's, the large museums of the time became very interested to share antiquities from ancient civilizations and since the crystal skulls were all discovered to this point in Mexico, it was thought they were of Aztec or Mayan origins. But there was not a lot of interest to do a thorough investigation upon the skulls as they were just a part of the artifacts left by these cultures. The more serious research with the crystalline skulls does not happen until the 20th century when the most well-known Crystal Skull was discovered linked to an ancient ruin in Belize in the 1920's. But we will have to save the reporting of the next series of crystalline skulls that emerged publicly in the next century for the third part of this article series.
We can say though that the British Museum, Museum in Paris and the small crystal skulls in the National Museum of Mexico are still on display and still draw people very interested to see the real objects in person.
We hope you enjoyed this second part of the series about the History linked to the crystal skulls. As we move closer to the 21st century, more and more skulls begin to appear publicly. It is possible that many of the crystal skulls we know of today could have been either held in private hands of people who never spoke about them or we also believe that various indigenous cultures in all three Americas may have been guarding the skulls in secret to protect them as they considered the crystal skulls to be sacred objects and important for the future of humanity.
Thank you, in peace and light,
To the adventures and journeys ahead

Living in the Seattle area since 2011, they have traveled the world sharing key information about the crystal skulls along with their 16 skulls they call the crystal children. For 2012 they plan to write several new e-books. As a matter of fact on September 5th they just released their new Kindle e-book "Journeys of the Crystal Skulls Explorers" and more then 400 people grabbed their copy in the first week.

History of the Crystal Skulls - Part I (Where Did the Crystal Skulls Came From From Ancient Times)

In the 1970's and 1980's there wasn't a lot known about the crystal skulls other than once in a while we might see a TV show or documentary that would do a presentation about them. However, now that we are in the 21st century - the crystal skulls are emerging quite frequently in various parts of our world. Plus, there doesn't seem to be an end of newly uncovered crystal skulls which are publicly surfacing which could have originated from ages past.
The objective of this article (of three parts) is to discuss briefly possible origins of the crystal skulls prior to the 19th century. And then in Part II and Part III we will investigate from a historical perspective the major crystal skulls which are publicly known today as well as how the crystal skulls are affecting physically and energetically the people they meet.
Here are four possibilities where these crystalline heads may have originally come from - but of course, there is no way to prove if any of these ideas or theories presented are or could be true:
1) Other Dimensions or from Extraterrestrial Civilizations - the reason for discussing that the crystal skulls could originate from either off planet or from other universes is that:
a) some of the crystalline skulls which have been discovered or unearthed are fashioned or formed with a superior design which means a highly evolved intelligence was needed to manufacture these skulls.
b) in the holographic images that seemingly appear within the crystalline head (especially the ones we believe are extremely old) which we have viewed in their presence, photographed or video taped, people have observed scenes showing "ETs" and sometimes these extraterrestials appear to be near their space craft.
c) people who claim they are having a telepathic communication with their personal crystal skulls (either newly carved or much older) say the intelligences that is speaking to them claims to be from a galactic or a dimensional source.
d) within the various indigenous cultures in the world are various legends which explain the origins of the crystal skulls (especially the Mesoamerican people), in which in some of these legends it is stated that these crystalline skulls are gifts from the Gods (which we could interpret as extraterrestials).
2) Advanced Civilizations from the Earth's Past such as Atlantis or Lemuria were responsible for creating the crystal skulls. This theory is mostly derived from: the past life memories people are having of these ancient cultures where they see themselves witnessing and experienced these crystalline heads in those times; is the information given by mediums or sensitives who are in the presence of a skull; or finally are derived from various elders or shamans linked to the Mayans who believe in the existence of Atlantis and that the areas they currently live in were once colonies of Atlantis.
3) The legend of the 13 Clan Mothers: (this information comes from a book written by Jamie Sams) In this legend, during the time of the existence of Turtle Island (many thousands of years ago) there were purportedly spiritual beings who took on the human form of a physical woman who visited the people living on this huge continent. Turtle Island existed within the Atlantic Ocean which eventually broke into pieces that became four continents that we know of today. During the time of the Clan Mothers, each of these women had their own crystal skull which when they returned to their dimension of origin, they left these crystalline heads to help and benefit the people.
4) Hollow Earth - we have personally spoken to two sources who claim to have had a direct contact with the people who live on the Inner Surface of the Earth (meaning our world is hollow and gravity would hold a person the same to the inner surface of our planet just as we are held to the outer surface). The Inner Earth people claim that they originally came from various Galactic races who brought a crystal skull with a crystal body with them that contained the history and the genetic coding of their race.
It seems likely if any of the four proposed theories of the skull's origins could be correct, it would logically make sense that when Atlantis and Lemuria were destroyed (as purported by legends), some of their people who could see the end coming, scattered throughout the world and took their sacred objects with them (including crystal skulls) which eventually landed into the areas we are now finding crystal skulls like Mexico, Central America and South America which were colonies of these great civilizations.
As far as what were these crystalline heads were used for and programmed to do for the ancient people, here is our understanding:
a) they were the ancient computers which have stored incredible knowledge and information inside of them that perhaps, one day in our future, we will figure out how to retrieve this amazing information. The ability to read these computers may come through the development of some new technologies or maybe even an ancient technology that we might discover linked to a very old civilization that has hidden this technology or placed it within a time capsule.
b) they were used to record vibrational frequencies and energy that were near the skulls' presences - of which such energies could offer help to heal individuals of any illness or physical challenges; to enhance one spiritual gifts or break through physical, emotional or mental blocks that prevent a person from knowing and remembering that they are immortal souls having a physical experience on Earth.
c) the crystal skulls could be utilized as a powerful tool to enhance one's physical environment (such as weather control to bring a pleasant day) or to act as a vortex offering an interdimensional door to allow us to have contact with other beings on other levels or even "Spirit". So we could say, these crystalline skulls also have the capability to function as a kind of communication device.
So as we approach the 1800's the first crystal skulls were publicly uncovered in the ground within Mexico. We could pre-suppose that these skulls were used by various Mesoamerican societies who must have inherited these crystalline skulls from the advance people who were fleeing the destruction of their civilization and then the skulls became integrated into these cultures. But there is a specific legend which states there exists a master set of 13 skulls that will come back together one day, however, we have no definitive proof if such a set exists or not.
Alright then, in the next part of this article we will turn our discussion towards the main crystal skulls which have appeared in modern times and when, we will follow this by how the crystal skulls have affected the people of our world of today in various ways (emotionally, physically and spiritually).
In Peace and Light always,
