Legend of the Crystal Skulls

[Guest guest]

I to Archaeology magazine (great magazine btw!!). The May/June

issue has this article that some might find of interest.

(my apologies to those who get this as a crossposted message.)

Sixteen years ago, a heavy package addressed to the nonexistent " Smithsonian

Inst. Curator, MezoAmerican Museum, Washington, D.C. " was delivered to the

National Museum of American History. It was accompanied by an unsigned letter

stating: " This Aztec crystal skull, purported to be part of the Porfirio Díaz

collection, was purchased in Mexico in 1960.... I am offering it to the

Smithsonian without consideration. " Richard Ahlborn, then curator of the

Hispanic-American collections, knew of my expertise in Mexican archaeology and

called

me to ask whether I knew anything about the object--an eerie, milky-white

crystal skull considerably larger than a human head. ~snip~
