Crystal skull & supernatural fascination...






Many believe these skulls were carved thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago by an ancient Mesoamerican civilization. Others think they may be relics from the legendary island of Atlantis or proof that extraterrestrials visited the Aztec sometime before the Spanish conquest.
 Stories about the skulls focus heavily on their perceived supernatural powers.
Joshua Shapiro, coauthor of Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed, on his Web site cites claims of healings and expanded psychic abilities from people who have been in the presence of such skulls.
"We believe the Crystal Skulls are a form of computer which are able to record energy and vibration that occur around them," he writes. " The skull will pictorially replay all events or images of the people who have come into contact with them (i.e. they contain the history of our world)."
Most archaeologists and scientists are skeptical, to say the least.
Skulls were prominent in ancient Mesoamerican artwork, particularly among the Aztec, so the connection between these artifacts and these civilizations is apt.
"[I]t was a symbol of regeneration," says Michael Smith, a professor of anthropology at Arizona State University. "There were several Aztec gods that were represented by skulls, so they were probably invoking these gods. I don't think they were supposed to have specific powers or anything like that."

The skull from the picture above was lent to me by a friend who got it carved by a gifted craftsman in Guatemala about eighteen years ago. It is about one and a half size bigger than an average human skull. I only intended to take pictures of it but  could not help gazing lengthy at it. Such a magnificent piece of rock crystal ! The few nights it was resting in my house I had the most intense and vivid dreams...

Vous voudriez savoir avec des mots ce que vous avez toujours su en pensée.
Vous voudriez toucher du doigt le corps nu de vos rêves.


Et il est bon qu'il en soit ainsi.

La source secrète de votre âme doit jaillir et couler en chuchotant vers la mer,

Et le trésor de vos abysses infinis se révéler à vos yeux.


Le prophète, K. Gibran.
