Episode 02 The Crystal Skulls

NARRATOR: December 12, 2012. Miami, Florida.

Just days before the Mayan calendar is set to end, hundreds

converge here at the Miami Circle, an archaeological site

that was once a sacred center for the Native American Tequesta

tribe. They are gathered to witness a

native ritual involving an ancient relic known as the

crystal skull.

Similar events centered around these mysterious crystal

artifacts continue to draw large crowds.

But why? What is it about the crystal

skulls that has fascinated mankind for centuries?

WILLIAM HENRY: Part of the lore or prophecy of the crystal

skulls is that at certain times of strife or perhaps impending

catastrophe, people will be able to use the power of the skulls

to forestall that cataclysm.

Maybe events like we see throughout the world at specific

dates are times when these skulls can be brought back

together and their power can be amplified.

MORTON: And according to the legend, the skulls are

containers of great knowledge, great wisdom, information.

Common to all of these legends is that these crystal skulls are

something particularly special and actually, they believe, very

important to humanity.

NARRATOR: Although there have been literally hundreds of

crystal skulls found throughout the world, according to legend,

there are only 13 which are believed to possess an awesome,

mystical power. COPPENS: The crystal skulls

have become so famous that the field has been flooded with

dozens of modern skulls.

And on a number of occasions, people who have possessed these

skulls are trying to pretend as if their skull is ancient.

And this, of course, is very difficult because, at the same

time, we have the skeptics, the scientists, who basically say it

is all fake. And so, as a result of which,

we're really confronted with a mixture of crystal skulls and a

very difficult situation. NARRATOR: According to

crystal skulls enthusiasts, as many as 12 of the 13 authentic

skulls have been discovered and are in private collections.

But where did these so-called authentic skulls come from?

And how were they discovered? In the late 19th century,

museums in London and Paris displayed crystal skulls as

genuine Mesoamerican religious relics.

But today, mainstream scientists argue they are all modern

creations. They also insist that any

analysis of the skulls is incomplete, as quartz crystal

cannot be carbon-dated.

MICHAEL DENNIN: Quartz has no carbon.

Quartz actually has no radioactive elements in it.

It's pretty much pure silicon. So the quartz itself has no real

signature that can be used to do dating.

Even getting within 1,000 years or 10,000 years, it gets almost

impossible to actually date it. ROBERT SCHOCH: Authenticity

is something difficult to determine when they've been

analyzed using modern scientific techniques.

In some cases, there are suggestions that modern tools

were being used. Other people have suggested,

however, they were using very sophisticated tools back in

ancient times. MORTON: Some people believe

that because there are tool markings on the teeth of some of

the crystal skulls that therefore they are relatively

modern fakes. However, there are others who

point out that actually the ancient Maya had wheel-carving

technologies. COPPENS: But to jump to the

conclusion that simply because there are tool marks that

somehow this means it is a 19th century fake is simply

unscientific. NARRATOR: Like crystal skulls

enthusiasts, many ancient astronaut theorists believe that

the 12 known ancient quartz skulls do, in fact, have ancient

origins and believe they may possess a great, perhaps even

otherworldly power, one that has yet to be fully revealed.

HUGH NEWMAN: There is something definitely ancient

about these skulls, and they're not modern carvings.

There were suggestions that these skulls may have been from

a nonhuman source. The evidence for this is scarce,

but the-the mythologies and the legends do suggest they were

known about in prehistoric times and they were revered.

MORTON: Several Native American tribes have similar

stories about ancient crystal skulls that were said to have

been left behind by the earliest ancestors way back in the mists

of time. Some believe that these are

ancient artifacts left behind by extraterrestrials or that they

were remnants left over from the lost civilizations.

NARRATOR: According to legend, the secret of the skulls

will be revealed when the original 13 skulls come together

to form a global grid. In fact, there are many who

believe that this so-called "reunion of the skulls" will

awaken sacred knowledge of the gods, knowledge that has been

hidden from mankind for thousands of years.

TSOUKALOS: According to some Native American myths, there are

12 inhabited planets out there, and each one of those skulls

contains the information from one of these planets, including

Earth. And the reason why there's a

13th skull is because the 13th skull contains the knowledge of

all those planets. It's basically a backup.

DAVID CHILDRESS: It's genuinely possible that some of

these crystal skulls are many, many thousands of years old.

People have suggested, too, that some crystal skulls aren't from

this planet and that they have been brought here from other

solar systems. And, of course, if that were the

case, they would have been brought here by

extraterrestrials. NARRATOR: Crystal skulls with

extraterrestrial origins? Is such a profound theory even

possible? Perhaps the answer can be found

by examining one of the oldest and most enigmatic crystal

skulls ever found.

Lubaantun, Belize, Central America.

Here in the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula lay the ruins

of an ancient pre-Columbian city that thrived in the eighth

century A.D. In 1924, explorer Frederick

Albert Mitchell-Hedges and his daughter Anna discover a

human-sized skull made of clear quartz crystal.

It has a detachable jaw, making it one of the most unique and

anatomically accurate of all the crystal skulls.

HENRY: Mitchell-Hedges was told by the Mayans that his

skull was over 3,600 years old.

This is fascinating because this would predate Mayan

civilization. NARRATOR: When

Mitchell-Hedges passed away in 1959, the skull was bestowed to

his daughter Anna. She guarded the skull for more

than a decade before allowing it to be studied.

CHILDRESS: And it was studied by a guy named Frank Dorland,

and what he found was that the skull was completely baffling to

him. He would come down at night to

find the room completely glowing, and the crystal skull

was literally lighting up itself a dark room like it was a light.

All kinds of strange phenomena would happen around the skull,

including people would hear strange sounds and smell things

like sudden flowers and things like that in the room with no

explanation but that it was coming from the skull.

So all kinds of unusual things were happening around the skull,

and Dorland himself couldn't figure out how the skull had

been made. COPPENS: When it comes to the

Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull, it has been analyzed on a number

of occasions: Frank Dorland in the 1960s did it as a private

individual; Hewlett-Packard did it as well; and the British

Museum did a very short analysis in 1980 as well.

So this skull has been subjected to a number of detailed

scientific analyses. In all of those occasions, what

was found was that it was almost impossible for a human being to

make this. MORTON: One of the scientists

that examined the skull actually said, "This skull shouldn't even

exist." And that is really what led to

the idea that perhaps these crystal skulls were not made by

humans at all. And many people to this day

still believe that to be the case.

TSOUKALOS: The entire mythology of the Mayans is based

on extraterrestrial encounters in the past.

Mitchell-Hedges was told by the locals that their ancestors gave

that skull to them. My question is, who were those

ancestors, and is their origin out there?

And the answer, of course, is yes.

NARRATOR: Could the Mitchell-Hedges skull really be

an ancient, extraterrestrial relic, as ancient astronaut

theorists suggest? And if so, might this skull and

others like it around the world really possess supernatural

powers? Perhaps further evidence can be

found by examining the history of another crystal skull, one

linked to an ancient aboriginal tribe half a world away.

NARRATOR: The Melanesian islands off the coast of Papua

New Guinea. Eighth century A.D.

According to legend, aboriginal tribal leaders set sail east

toward the Hawaiian Islands. They carry with them a highly

revered ancestral crystal skull. Today, that skull, known as

Synergy, is under the care of guardian Sherry Whitfield.

It was given to her as a gift by a European businessman.

SHERRY WHITFIELD: When I first got the skull, I only knew

a little bit of the history of it.

I knew that it had come across the Pacific in a reed canoe.

It had been in Hawaii, on Easter Island, with the people of the

sky.

In the 1600s, the skull was given to a young nun in Peru.

On her deathbed in 1720, she passed the skull to a native

family and said, "Keep the skull until the right person comes."

And she gave them the history. And they disappeared into the

jungle.

NARRATOR: In 2005, Whitfield was contacted by a

representative of the aboriginal tribe who saw a photograph of

Synergy in a newspaper. WHITFIELD: And he said he

brought the photos and he brought the little skull to the

shaman and the chief, and everything stopped.

And they declared 24 hours of feasting and telling stories

about the skulls. It was really cool because,

really, they don't talk that much about the skulls in their

everyday life. It's part of their sacred

secrets and their teachings. Now, they say that they didn't

make the skull, that it was passed to them as a legacy, so

it's an ancestral object. Their legend is that their tribe

was started by a white man and a black man, twins.

Their whole religion revolves around twins.

And they have the twin of this skull.

Their legends are that there were two of these skulls made

identical. There's a powerful spirit in

crystal skulls.

MICHAEL HAMSON: Melanesia is populated by all different

classifications of spirits, of ancestral spirits, meaning

spirits of the remote ancestors that have to do with a

particular group's creation story or recently dead

ancestors.

Spiritual energy in Melanesian society is just not for people.

It can be in places, in objects, in plants and animals.

NARRATOR: The notion of a spiritual energy that resides in

inanimate objects is widespread throughout the South Pacific.

Anthropologists who studied Melanesian societies in the 19th

and early 20th centuries termed this supernatural force "mana."

JONATHAN YOUNG: The idea of mana is that there is a divine

magical energy that is both the source of life and a kind of

animating presence in things, in places, in people.

There is reverence for specific objects because they seem

particularly strong in this magical power.

Some believe that the power comes from ancestral sources and

that the older the ancestors, the greater the power.

HAMSON: These things are incredibly important to the

people in all aspects of life like warfare, hunting,

gardening, fishing, any type of thing that normal human beings

can't control. And these objects with this

ancestral spirit energy, if you control them right and access

them right and speak to them right and get their permission

and get their aid and get their help, they can, in effect,

pre-kill your enemy prior to battle.

NARRATOR: Is it really possible for objects like

crystal skulls to be possessed by otherworldly spirits, as

South Pacific islanders believe? And if so, where do these

spirits come from? TSOUKALOS: In the South

Pacific, their ancestral myths talk about people descending

from the sky.

One of the mythologies talks about two brothers descending

from the sky, Barkulkul and Marelul.

And the time in which they spent, it was considered to be

the Golden Age. After that time ended, guess

what, the two of them went back up into the sky to return where

they came from, the stars. COPPENS: The core message of

crystal skulls is that-- our ancestors are very specific--

that these are divine, that these are ancient.

Some of them are definitely known to be used for divination,

whereby somebody basically makes contact with an intelligence who

is either contactable or resident within this crystal

skull.

NARRATOR: Could crystal skulls really provide a link to

mankind's extraterrestrial ancestors, as many ancient

astronaut theorists believe? And if so, is there something

unique about the properties of these translucent objects that

could enable them to contain supernatural powers?

Anglesey, British Isles. 60 A.D.

Roman soldiers conquer the last stronghold of the Druids, a

class of mystics and priests whose roots stretch back to the

dawn of European civilization.

SABINA MAGLIOCCO: Everything that we know about the Druids,

we know through their enemies, the Romans, who went to a great

deal of trouble to exterminate the Druids because they saw

them, rightly, as social organizers, as important leaders

around whom the Celtic tribes coalesced.

Many powers get attributed to the Druids-- for example, that

the Druids held mystical knowledge.

The Druids had a philosophy of reincarnation.

YOUNG: The Druids used crystal to tell fortunes, to

read the future, to do ecstatic mystical rituals.

The Scot Highlanders called these "stones of power."

There's something about the crystal clarity, the strange

experience of staring into it, the things one can imagine.

And the crystal ball that grew out of this and used by more

recent seers really helped a person slip into a sort of

trance state from which they're able to imagine or hear or

experience or see something that is taken as important

information. The information was considered

to come from the gods or the spirits.

COPPENS: Gazing into a crystal ball was another means

in medieval times as to how to come into contact with the world

of the divine, to make contact with otherworldly intelligences.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that ancient cultures accessed other

dimensions through the use of crystal objects, as some ancient

astronaut theorists suggest? And if so, might there be a

scientific reason why divination objects like crystal skulls are

made of this unique material?

HENRY: Crystal has a unique lattice structure, and some

people believe that it has an other-dimensional quality.

It can transmit and receive messages from other dimensions

and is actually other-dimensional substance

itself. Crystal's ability to communicate

inter-dimensionally could explain why people throughout

history have used crystal balls to foretell the future or even

to look into the past. MORTON: And it's interesting

because when you think of the legend that crystal skulls were

containers of great knowledge, then perhaps there is vast

amounts of information, as the Native American elders say,

inside a crystal skull. CHILDRESS: Ancient people

were very much aware of how important crystals are and how

they are, in a sense, a high-tech object.

But how would they know that? They had to have these high-tech

objects in the past, either used by the ancient people or, in a

sense, brought to us by extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Could the inherent properties in crystal allow for

inter-dimensional communications and assistance, as some

researchers suggest? And might this extraordinary

power be used for other, possibly more sinister

purposes? Perhaps the answers can be found

by examining the tales surrounding another quartz

crystal skull, one possessed by one of the most brutal leaders

in human history.

NARRATOR: Lhasa, Tibet. March 1959.

As the Chinese begin to invade this capital city, the Dalai

Lama and a small group of high lamas flee into the treacherous

Himalayan mountains, risking imprisonment, torture and even

death to make the 14-day trek to Nepal.

According to reports, in their possession was a 22-pound

crystal skull named Amar. JOHN DESALVO: I've heard

many stories about a high lama who fled from China, took a

large crystal skull. Other Tibetan monks who risked

their lives hiding crystal skulls when the Chinese came.

So, that tells me there also is something more than just a

physical infatuation with these objects, that there's some

spiritual component. DAVID WILCOCK: We have a

Tibetan priest who hauls a 22-pound crystal skull out of

Tibet, specifically to stop it from getting into the wrong

hands. Building a human skull out of

crystal could serve as a sort of antenna for the consciousness of

someone who is a highly-adept meditator to be able to focus

their minds for the purposes of healing, or potentially, for

destructive purposes.

NARRATOR: If the stories are true, why did the skull's

caretakers go to such great lengths to protect the 22-pound

object? Could there really be a

potentially dangerous component to the Amar skull and other

crystal skulls, especially if one were to fall into the wrong

hands?

Bavaria, Germany. March 2011.

A 20-pound crystal skull is discovered at the former home of

a high-ranking Nazi SS officer. Some researchers believe the

skull was once owned by Heinrich Himmler, the sinister henchman

of Adolf Hitler and the man who oversaw the extermination of

millions of people during World War II.

KEN STORCH: I, for one, think that probably Heinrich

Himmler, uh, had procured a crystal skull.

The Nazis were really obsessed with procuring ancient

knowledge, and part of that ancient knowledge was with the

crystal skull. In the waning days of World War

II, the Nazis were heavily involved in the wonder weapon

that was going to change the course of the war and pronounce

them as victorious.

NOORY: Nazis, specifically Hitler, loved the occult.

There's no question that Adolf Hitler, as barbaric and as

insane as he was, was into the occult and desperately wanted to

possess all these things, because he believed that they

would give the Nazis incredible powers.

NICK REDFERN: They basically went on the hunt for as many of

these relics and artifacts as they could find to try and find

out if these ancient religious relics contained fantastic

powers that could be used against the Allies during the

Second World War. HENRY: The Nazis were

obsessed with skulls and skull imagery, and especially the

knowledge of the ancestors. It's not a stretch, with their

interest in ancient occult legends and lore, that the Nazis

knew of the tremendous power of the crystal skull.

NARRATOR: Is it possible, as many ancient astronaut theorists

believe, that Hitler's henchman, Heinrich Himmler, acquired a

crystal skull in an effort to direct its power against those

who opposed the Third Reich? MORTON: The legend says that

mankind has to be sufficiently prepared for the knowledge that

the crystal skulls contain, because, apparently, this is

knowledge that can either be abused or used for good.

COPPENS: In the case of Heinrich Himmler, what we're

seeing is a man who is going to will his power over everybody

else. And the question is whether he

used the skull into trying to get people to do certain things.

Crystal skulls are said to somehow be able to transform the

intention of a human being. And this is very much a powerful

weapon. This is something which can be

used against other human beings.

NARRATOR: Are ancient crystal skulls, like the one possessed

by Heinrich Himmler, really amplifiers of energy, both

positive and negative? And, if so, could the possession

of a skull really give its owner potentially destructive powers?

Perhaps the answer can be found by examining the possible reason

why these mysterious crystal relics were fashioned in the

shape of human skulls in the first place.

WILCOCK: It may be that building a crystal in the exact

shape of the human cranium does have some sort of energetic

quality. The crystallized form of the

human skull was believed to represent the eminence of the

soul upon death. It may even be possible that

that crystal skull, when it focuses this human energy field,

could be used as a form of propelling the aspirant into an

out-of-body experience, to resonate with their own skull,

to raise the frequency of their bioenergy field, so that they

can achieve this out-of-body state.

YOUNG: One interesting thing about a crystal skull is a

crystal is a clear thing, and the idea of a skull is a very

dark idea. So you have light and dark

combined in the same symbol, and a kind of wisdom comes out of

seeing something combined, a holistic bridging of the light

and the dark. MAGLIOCCO: Skull motifs are

common really throughout the world to signify death and

another world, the world of the dead.

In these mythologies, there was another world-- a death world--

to which everybody went, really, when they died.

And it was very parallel to our own world.

DEEPAK SHIMKHADA: In Tibetan Buddhism, the skull is very

powerful. It has a deep, deep meaning,

because it stands for death. It also stands for the

transcendence of death, overcoming of death.

So it's a symbol that also represents impermanence of life.

NARRATOR: Were 13 ancient crystal objects shaped like

human skulls in an effort to suggest they might have the

power of life and death? If so, what is the source of

such an awesome ability? And why has it been lost to

mankind for centuries? Ancient astronaut theorists

believe the answers might be found in a mythical lost

civilization, one that vanished overnight.

In two of his famous dialogues, Timaeus and Critias, the fourth

century B.C. Greek philosopher Plato describes this "lost

continent" as an island founded by Poseidon, the god of the sea.

RICHARD RADER: Atlantis, at least as imagined by Plato, was

very advanced technologically.

Had very advanced and progressive ideas about justice,

of law. In addition to being a sort of

technological marvel, it's also a model of ethical,

philosophical and moral civilization, as well.

NARRATOR: According to ancient astronaut theorists,

the Atlantians also used objects made of crystal, not only as a

means of harnessing energy, but as a means to store important

information, much like a computer.

HENRY: Part of the lore and legend of Atlantis is that the

priests had taken the ancient relics and sacred knowledge of

Atlantis and deposited it, or perhaps even encoded it, into

crystal objects, including skulls.

NARRATOR: According to legend, the continent of

Atlantis mysteriously disappeared thousands of years

ago. But if Atlantis actually

existed, is it possible that a handful of its citizens

survived? And might crystal skulls be

among the objects that survived with them?

Could this explain why 12 of what are thought to be the

original 13 skulls were found in nearly every part of the world?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and for evidence, point to

the curious similarities that exist between the ancient Mayans

and modern-day Tibetans.

COPPENS: What we're finding is that in those places across

the world which have said to have been a place of refuge, in

those places, we have crystal skulls, specifically Tibet,

specifically the Mayan world. Those two areas are specifically

linked as being identified as refuges of the Atlantis

civilization.

NARRATOR: But what would be so important about the crystal

skulls that would compel the doomed citizens of Atlantis to

risk their lives in an effort to escape with them?

Tokyo, Japan. 2012.

The engineering and electronics company, Hitachi, reveals a

revolutionary data storage device, a quartz glass chip,

which will preserve encoded information for millions of

years. DENNIN: Hitachi announced

some very exciting breakthroughs in etching data into actual

quartz crystal type materials.

And so, by figuring out a way to burn little holes in the quartz

using high-powered lasers, you've now created your ones and

zeros, and they were actually doing it at a scale where you

can just look at it with a microscope and see the ones and

zeroes and read it out. TSOUKALOS: That chip, if

intact, can be read a million years from now.

But that also takes into question, how do you read the

chip? Because you need to have the

device with which to actually access the information.

And that is the problem we are experiencing with the crystal

skulls. If they contain knowledge, we

don't know where the "on" button is.

ERICH VON DANIKEN: I would not exclude that in a crystal

skull, there is a message, because we can make the most

modern little chips out of crystals.

So, I really suggest it has to do something with

extraterrestrials. Maybe there is information in

the crystal skull. But we have not the technology

to reach this information. This is a question of the

future. NARRATOR: Modern science has

researched and explored the use of quartz crystal in

cutting-edge technology and communication.

But some ancient astronaut theorists believe that there is

evidence that the ancients also recognized the potential of this

uniquely conductive mineral.

SCHOCH: Quartz is said to be able to hold power, to be able

to absorb energy. It's been suggested that maybe

the ancients used quartz to somehow record things in some

way that we don't quite understand, or possibly not to

record so much, but to tap into other realms.

Or to be able to use as communication devices.

CHILDRESS: Certain types of receivers, crystal radios,

television sets, other types of communication, and even power

for spaceships, can be done through quartz crystals.

NASA even does special experiments in space where they

want to grow perfect quartz crystals.

So, the idea of quartz crystal technology being used by

extraterrestrials as kind of high-tech technology makes a lot

of sense. COPPENS: What we know as a

fact is that crystal is able to store information.

So, what we need to ask ourselves is whether crystal

skulls were made out of crystal because our ancestors wanted to

put information in them. While we might not have a means

of extracting it, I think we really require it, for

ourselves, to try and make an effort to see what kind of

information might be present within these crystal skulls.

TSOUKALOS: When we hear these stories about having to

bring together all those crystal skulls, where does this premise

come from, this idea that they have to come together, and then,

something important happens? Well, could it be that each

crystal skull might be some type of a computer chip, and that

they belong to some motherboard of some extraterrestrial

computer, and that the only way it works, if all those skulls

come together? NARRATOR: Might crystal

skulls really be part of an elaborate ancient computer

system? Could they be data-gathering

devices, used for both recording and transmitting information?

Perhaps further evidence can be found by measuring the

electromagnetic energy field, or aura, surrounding an actual

crystal skull... named Einstein.

NARRATOR: This is Einstein, believed to be the largest

ancient crystal skull as yet discovered.

Its owner, Carolyn Ford, says she obtained the 33-pound

crystal object more than 20 years ago, and that she was

unaware that it possessed any strange abilities until the day

when, she claims, it actually communicated with her.

FORD: It was revealed to me by Einstein the moment that

I got him, when I knew nothing about crystal skulls, he said,

"I'm an ancient computer. In fact, I'm a master computer.

And we record everything, like a live feed 24/7.

And that's our purpose." He's been recording history on

this planet since the beginning of time, so indeed, he was in

Atlantis. A lot of the ancient crystal

skulls have been in Atlantis, and even before that time.

NARRATOR: Could the so-called "Einstein skull" really be an

artifact from the lost civilization of Atlantis, as

its owner claims?

(bird screeching) Sedona, Arizona.

2013. CHILDRESS: It's very clear

down here, and then it gets cloudy.

NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorist David Childress enlists

the help of aura photography expert Jamie Jones in an effort

to test the Einstein skull for unusual energy pulses or auras.

These auras appear as colors that correspond to various

physical, emotional, mental and spiritual states.

JONES: With aura technology, we're able to use biofeedback

imaging to pick up electromagnetic energy field

around the human body, and by looking at this, it's amazing.

It's like our blueprint for our life.

And these energies are represented in colors.

I'm not expecting any energy to be coming out of the inanimate

object.

So, I'm a little skeptical in that I'm not sure, um, what to

expect when I photograph the skull.

And, um, I've been told a lot of things about skulls, as far

as information that they're holding, what civilizations

they're from, or if they're actually from the

extraterrestrials. So, I'm kind of excited to see

this particular skull and what it emits.

CHILDRESS: Hi, Jamie. JONES: Hi.

FORD: Hey. CHILDRESS: And this is

Carolyn, and wow, here is the skull.

JONES: Wow. This is fabulous. CHILDRESS: So what do we do?

JONES: These are biofeedback censors.

FORD: Okay. JONES: And they're gonna be

reading the energy, if there's energy around the skull, so

you're gonna place it on here for me. Perfect.

CHILDRESS: So it has to go on both of the two sensors?

FORD: This section here. JONES: Yes, because both

sensors are picking up energy, so we want as much coverage as

possible. Okay, that's perfect. All right.

CHILDRESS: All right, and now, um, you just take a photo

of it, huh? JONES: We're gonna take a

picture. All right.

CHILDRESS: I don't have really big expectations,

honestly, but I think there is some energy in the skull, so

maybe this aura camera can pick it up.

(beeping) JONES: All right, and here is

the aura of the skull. FORD: Wow.

Oh, look at those colors! CHILDRESS: Okay. Wow.

JONES: That is amazing. It's amazing.

FORD: Really? CHILDRESS: So... so what are

we looking at here? I mean, here we can see the

skull. JONES: It seems to be very

strong, warrior-type protective energy, and if you look closely,

that energy is arced over. FORD: Right.

JONES: Literal arc of protection over the skull.

FORD: Yeah, that's beautiful. JONES: Now, the blue that we

see throughout the entire picture is wisdom and knowledge

from traveling many lifetimes and many dimensions.

Obviously, this skull has some consciousness and energy around

it... FORD: Right, yes.

JONES: ...that it emanates quite strongly, and these other

beings with it, as well. FORD: 'Cause he calls himself

the Skull of Consciousness. JONES: Oh, there you go, see?

CHILDRESS: Ah, is that right? FORD: Yeah, yeah, so, um...

JONES: See? Quite profound. CHILDRESS: I was surprised

really that the aura camera would pick up so much energy

from the skull and the different colors.

There's something there. NARRATOR: Does the

photographed energy field surrounding Einstein help to

prove that the crystal skull could, in fact, be some sort of

recording device? An extraterrestrial object used

to harness both energy and information?

Perhaps until all 13 legendary skulls are discovered, their

true power will remain a mystery.

STORCH: You got to ask yourself, what happens when we

do find those crystal skulls that have been around for eons,

and we put all 13 together? Is the legend going to come

true?

CHILDRESS: Part of this legend is that, yes, these 13

crystal skulls are extraterrestrial skulls.

And when the 13 skulls are together, it'll create a new

epoch for planet Earth.

NOORY: I think this planet is up in arms.

So, if the legend's true that the crystal skulls are gonna

join together and create this incredible power to help us, it

better be sooner than later. MORTON: There is certainly a

belief amongst certain Native American tribes, when humanity

is at its most desperate, all of these original ancient

crystal skulls will come back together, and that they will

divulge their knowledge and wisdom that can help the human

race survive. They specifically say that what

will come out of the crystal skulls is the lesson that we are

all connected. WILCOCK: So, perhaps the

journey to find these crystal skulls is going to help unravel

the truth of ancient human origins, which may include the

fact that we are not indigenous to this planet and that the

human form is far more sacred than we believe.

NARRATOR: Could there really be a network of crystal skulls

that will, when reunited, harness powerful forces?

And, if so, will they reveal the truth about mankind's purpose?

There are many who believe the answer is a profound "yes" and

that the evidence is right before our eyes.

And as clear... as crystal. Captioning sponsored by
