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.
