At last I found a genuine rock crystal in the Mayan-style skull. And I bought it immediately. Cheesy

You realize the entire story behind them is fake, right?

I like it. The crystal skull story is part of our modern mythos and a great campfire tale.

After Timpas' video, YouTube displayed the next video in line, which happened to be a BBC video that debunked the myths about the real crystal skull.  And while that was interesting, it was the comments below the film by the true believers that were priceless.

BTW Timpa, did your skull come from China?  According to the BBC video, the largest company in the world that makes crystal skulls is in China.  The company makes and sells around 7000 per year.

As much as I enjoy the original story I'm always left with sort of a bad reaction to the words crystal skull. It seems a few years ago someone released a fake Indiana Jones based on the story of crystal skulls. Luckily it was so poorly done no one fell for it. But if they had, it might of ruined one of the greatest movie franchises of all time.

Skull story life of its own life; Let's say no matter what. Smiley

The skull was the label: made in Brazil. And then the seller said they had ordered.

OK, just wondering.  The place in China had all sorts of sizes.  Including actual size.  No idea what they cost.
