1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Luminous relics in the shape of human skulls.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
The skull was cut against its grain.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
This skull should not exist.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Otherworldly artifacts believe to harness the secrets of the universe.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
The skulls are contained as great knowledge, great wisdom, information,

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
vital to the very survival of the human race.

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Are they part of an elaborate hoax?

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,000
These crystal skulls may have some kind of very strange mystical powers.

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Or do they reveal an extraterrestrial agenda?

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Crystal skulls aren't very much a powerful weapon.

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
What if it were true?

13
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:10,000
And if so, might the proof be found when we examine the mysterious power of the crystal skulls?

15
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:47,000
December 12, 2012, Miami, Florida

16
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Just days before the Mayan calendar is set to end,

17
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
hundreds converge here at the Miami Circle,

18
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:02,000
an archaeological site that was once a sacred center for the Native American to cast a tribe.

19
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:13,000
They are gathered to witness a native ritual involving an ancient relic known as the crystal skull.

20
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Similar events centered around these mysterious crystal artifacts continue to draw large crowds.

21
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:29,000
But why? What is it about the crystal skulls that has fascinated mankind for centuries?

22
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Part of the lore or prophecy of the crystal skulls is that at certain times of strife or perhaps impending catastrophe,

23
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,000
people will be able to use the power of the skull to forestall that cataclysm.

24
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:55,000
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.

25
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:05,000
According to the legend, the skulls are containers of great knowledge, great wisdom, information.

26
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Common to all of these legends is that these crystal skulls are something particularly special and actually they believe very important to humanity.

27
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Although there have been literally hundreds of crystal skulls found throughout the world,

28
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,000
according to legend, there are only 13 which are believed to possess an awesome mystical power.

29
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:46,000
The crystal skulls have become so famous that the field has been flooded with dozens of modern skulls.

30
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:54,000
And on a number of occasions, people who have possessed these skulls are trying to pretend as if their skull is ancient.

31
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:03,000
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.

32
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:15,000
And so as a result of which we really confronted with a mixture of crystal skulls and a very difficult situation.

33
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:25,000
According to crystal skulls enthusiasts, as many as 12 of the 13 authentic skulls have been discovered and are in private collections.

34
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:33,000
But where did these so-called authentic skulls come from and how were they discovered?

35
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:43,000
In the late 19th century, museums in London and Paris displayed crystal skulls as genuine Mesoamerican religious relics.

36
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:50,000
But today, mainstream scientists argue they are all modern creations.

37
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:59,000
They also insist that any analysis of the skulls is incomplete as quartz crystal cannot be carbon dated.

38
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Quartz has no carbon. Quartz actually has no radioactive elements in it. It's pretty much pure silicon.

39
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
So the quartz itself has no real signature that can be used to do dating.

40
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Even getting within a thousand years or 10,000 years, it gets almost impossible to actually date it.

41
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Authenticity is something difficult to determine when they've been analyzed using modern scientific techniques.

42
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
In some cases there are suggestions that modern tools were being used.

43
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Other people have suggested, however, they were using very sophisticated tools back in ancient times.

44
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:49,000
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.

45
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:57,000
However, there are others who point out that actually the ancient Maya had wheel carving technologies.

46
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:07,000
But to jump to the conclusion that simply because there are tool markings, that somehow this means it is a 19th century fake, it's simply unscientific.

47
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Like crystal skulls enthusiasts, many ancient astronaut theorists believe that the 12 known ancient quartz skulls do, in fact, have ancient origins.

48
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,000
And believe they may possess a great, perhaps even other, worldly power.

49
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
One that has yet to be fully revealed.

50
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
There is something definitely ancient about these skulls and they're not modern carvings.

51
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:39,000
There are suggestions that these skulls may have been from a non-human source.

52
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:49,000
The evidence for this is scarce, but the mythologies and the legends do suggest they were known about in prehistoric times and they were revered.

53
00:06:50,000 --> 00:07:04,000
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 Mr. Time.

54
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Some believe that these are ancient artifacts left behind by extraterrestrials or that they were remnants left over from the lost civilization.

55
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:27,000
According to legend, the secret of the skulls will be revealed when the original 13 skulls come together to form a global grid.

56
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:41,000
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.

57
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:54,000
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.

58
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:06,000
And the reason why there's a 13 skull is because the 13 skull contains the knowledge of all those planets. It's basically a backup.

59
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:14,000
It's genuinely possible that some of these crystal skulls are many, many thousands of years old.

60
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:23,000
People have suggested too that some crystal skulls aren't from this planet and that they have been brought here from other solar systems.

61
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000
And of course, if that were the case, they would have been brought here by extraterrestrials.

62
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Crystal skulls with extraterrestrial origins is such a profound theory even possible.

63
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Perhaps the answer can be found by examining one of the oldest and most enigmatic crystal skulls ever found.

64
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Luban Tune Belize, Central America.

65
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Here in the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula lay the ruins of an ancient pre-Columbian city that thrived in the 8th century AD.

66
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:17,000
In 1924, explorer Frederick Albert Mitchell-Hedges and his daughter Anna discover a human-sized skull made of clear quartz crystal.

67
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:27,000
It has a detachable jaw, making it one of the most unique and anatomically accurate of all the crystal skulls.

68
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Mitchell-Hedges was told by the Mayans that his skull was over 3600 years old.

69
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
This is fascinating because this would predate Mayan civilization.

70
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:48,000
When Mitchell-Hedges passed away in 1957, the skull was bestowed to his daughter Anna.

71
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,000
She guarded the skull for more than a decade before allowing it to be studied.

72
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
And it was studied by a guy named Frank Dorland.

73
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:03,000
And what he found was that the skull was completely baffling to him.

74
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:13,000
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.

75
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:22,000
All kinds of strange phenomena would happen around the skull including people would hear strange sounds and smell, things that were not heard.

76
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Things like sudden flowers and things like that in the room with no explanation but that it was coming from the skull.

77
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:38,000
So all kinds of unusual things were happening around the skull and Dorland himself couldn't figure out how the skull had been made.

78
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,000
When it comes to the Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull it has been analyzed on a number of occasions.

79
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Frank Dorland in the 1960s did it as a private individual.

80
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Eulot Packer did it as well and the British Museum did a very short analysis in 1980 as well.

81
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,000
So this skull has been subjected to a number of detailed scientific analyses.

82
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:10,000
In all of those occasions what was found was that it was almost impossible for a human being to make this.

83
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000
One of the scientists that examined the skull actually said this skull shouldn't even exist.

84
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:22,000
And that's really what led to the idea that perhaps these crystal skulls were not made by humans at all.

85
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,000
And many people to this day still believe that to be the case.

86
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:36,000
The entire mythology of the Mayans is based on extraterrestrial encounters in the past.

87
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Mitchell-Hedges was told by the locals that their ancestors gave that skull to them.

88
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:53,000
My question is who were those ancestors and is their origin out there?

89
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,000
And the answer of course is yes.

90
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Could the Mitchell-Hedges skull really be an ancient extraterrestrial relic as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

91
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:18,000
And if so, might this skull and others like it around the world really possess supernatural powers?

92
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Perhaps further evidence can be found by examining the history of another crystal skull.

93
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:31,000
One linked to an ancient Aboriginal tribe half a world away.

94
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:45,000
The Melanesian Islands off the coast of Papua New Guinea, 8th century AD.

95
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:52,000
According to legend, Aboriginal tribal leaders set sail east toward the Hawaiian islands.

96
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,000
They carry with them a highly revered ancestral crystal skull.

97
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Today, that skull known as Synergy is under the care of guardian Sherry Whitfield.

98
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,000
It was given to her as a gift by a European businessman.

99
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,000
When I first got the skull, I only knew a little bit of the history of it.

100
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,000
I knew that it had come across Pacific and a red canoe.

101
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,000
It had been in Hawaii, on Easter Island, with the people of the sky.

102
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,000
In the 1600s, the skull was given to a young nun in Peru.

103
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,000
On her deathbed in 1720, she passed the skull to a native family.

104
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000
I said, keep the skull until the right person comes.

105
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,000
And she gave them the history and they disappeared into the jungle.

106
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,000
In 2005, Whitfield was contacted by a representative of the Aboriginal tribe,

107
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
who saw a photograph of Synergy in a newspaper.

108
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
And he said he brought the photos and he brought the little skull to the shaman and the chief,

109
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
and everything stopped.

110
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:13,000
And they declared 24 hours of feasting and telling stories about the skulls.

111
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:19,000
It was really cool because really they don't talk that much about the skulls in their everyday life.

112
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000
It's part of their sacred secrets and their teachings.

113
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Now they say that they didn't make the skull, that it was passed to them as a legacy.

114
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
So it's an ancestral object.

115
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Their legend is that their tribe was started by a white man and a black man, twins.

116
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Their whole religion revolves around twins, and they have the twin of this skull.

117
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Their legends are that there were two of these skulls made identical.

118
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000
There's a powerful spirit in crystal skulls.

119
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Melanesia is populated by all different classifications of spirits, of ancestral spirits,

120
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,000
meaning spirits of the remote ancestors that have to do with a particular group's creation story,

121
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,000
or recently dead ancestors.

122
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Spiritual energy in Melanesian society is just not for people,

123
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,000
it's convenient in places and objects and plants and animals.

124
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,000
The notion of a spiritual energy that resides in inanimate objects

125
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,000
is widespread throughout the South Pacific.

126
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Anthropologists who studied Melanesian societies in the 19th and early 20th centuries

127
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000
termed this supernatural force, mana.

128
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,000
The idea of mana is that there is a divine, magical energy

129
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:55,000
that is both the source of life and a kind of animating presence in things, in places, in people.

130
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:03,000
There is reverence for specific objects because they seem particularly strong in this magical power.

131
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Some believe that the power comes from ancestral sources

132
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,000
and that the older the ancestors, the greater the power.

133
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000
These things are incredibly important to the people.

134
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,000
In all aspects of life, like warfare, hunting, gardening, fishing,

135
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
any type of thing that normal human beings can't control.

136
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000
And these objects with this ancestral spirit energy,

137
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,000
if you control them right and access them right and speak to them right

138
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,000
and get their permission and get their aid and get their help,

139
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,000
they can in effect pre-kill your enemy prior to battle.

140
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Is it really possible for objects like crystal skulls to be possessed by other worldly spirits

141
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
as South Pacific Islanders believe?

142
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,000
And if so, where do these spirits come from?

143
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:09,000
In the South Pacific, their ancestral myths talk about people descending from the sky.

144
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,000
One of the mythologies talks about two brothers descending from the sky,

145
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Bar-Kul-Kul and Mar-A-Lul, and the time in which they spent.

146
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
It was considered to be the Golden Age.

147
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
After that time ended, guess what?

148
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:35,000
The two of them went back up into the sky to return where they came from, the stars.

149
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,000
The core message of crystal skulls is that our ancestors are very specific,

150
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,000
that these are divine, that these are ancient.

151
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Some of them are definitely known to be used for divination,

152
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,000
whereby somebody basically makes contact with an intelligence

153
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
who is either contactable or resident within this crystal skull.

154
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Could crystal skulls really provide a link to mankind's extraterrestrial ancestors,

155
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,000
as many ancient astronaut theorists believe?

156
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:20,000
And if so, is there something unique about the properties of these translucent objects

157
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,000
that could enable them to contain supernatural powers?

158
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Anglesey, British Isles, 60 AD.

159
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Roman soldiers conquer the last stronghold of the Druids,

160
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:49,000
a class of mystics and priests whose roots stretch back to the dawn of European civilization.

161
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Everything that we know about the Druids, we know through their enemies, the Romans,

162
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,000
who went to a great deal of trouble to exterminate the Druids,

163
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
because they saw them rightly as social organizers,

164
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
as important leaders around whom the Celtic tribes coalesced.

165
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Many powers get attributed to the Druids.

166
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
For example, the Druids held mystical knowledge.

167
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000
The Druids had a philosophy of reincarnation.

168
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:31,000
The Druids used crystal to tell fortunes, to read the future, to do ecstatic mystical rituals.

169
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,000
The Scott Highlanders called these stones of power.

170
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:42,000
There's something about the crystal clarity, the strange experiences of staring into it,

171
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000
the things one can imagine.

172
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,000
And the crystal ball that grew out of this and used by more recent seers

173
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000
really helped a person slip into a sort of trance state

174
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,000
from which they're able to imagine or hear or experience or see something

175
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
that is taken as important information.

176
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,000
The information was considered to come from the gods or the spirits.

177
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Gazing into a crystal ball was another means in medieval times

178
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,000
as to how to come into contact with the world of the divine,

179
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,000
to make contact with otherworldly intelligences.

180
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Is it possible that ancient cultures accessed other dimensions through the use of crystal objects,

181
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,000
as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

182
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:38,000
And if so, might there be a scientific reason why divination objects like crystal skulls

183
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
are made of this unique material?

184
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Crystal has a unique lattice structure,

185
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000
and some people believe that it has an other dimensional quality.

186
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
It can transmit and receive messages from other dimensions

187
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,000
and is actually other dimensional substance itself.

188
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Crystal's ability to communicate interdimensionally

189
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,000
could explain why people throughout history have used crystal balls

190
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,000
to foretell the future or even to look into the past.

191
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,000
And it's interesting because when you think of the legend,

192
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
crystal skulls were containers of great knowledge,

193
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
then perhaps there is vast amounts of information,

194
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000
as the Native American elders say, inside a crystal skull.

195
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Ancient people were very much aware of how important crystals are

196
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,000
and how they are, in a sense, a high-tech object.

197
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
But how would they know that?

198
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,000
They had to have these high-tech objects in the past.

199
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Either used by the ancient people or, in a sense, brought to us by extraterrestrials.

200
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Could the inherent properties in crystal

201
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000
allow for interdimensional communications and assistance,

202
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
as some researchers suggest?

203
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,000
And might this extraordinary power be used for other,

204
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,000
possibly more sinister purposes?

205
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Perhaps the answers can be found

206
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000
by examining the tales surrounding another quartz crystal skull,

207
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,000
one possessed by one of the most brutal leaders in human history.

208
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Lhasa, Tibet.

209
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000
March, 1959.

210
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000
As the Chinese begin to invade this capital city,

211
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,000
the Dalai Lama and a small group of high lamas

212
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
flee into the treacherous Himalayan mountains,

213
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,000
risking imprisonment, torture, and even death

214
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,000
to make the 14-day trek to Nepal.

215
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:55,000
According to reports, in their possession was a 22-pound crystal skull

216
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
named Amar.

217
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
I've heard many stories about a high lama

218
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000
who fled from China, took a large crystal skull.

219
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Other Tibetan monks who risked their lives

220
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
hiding crystal skulls when the Chinese came.

221
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000
So that tells me there also is something more

222
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
than just a physical infatuation with these objects.

223
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000
That is some spiritual component.

224
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,000
We have a Tibetan priest who hauls a 22-pound crystal skull.

225
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Out of Tibet, specifically to stop it from getting into the wrong hands.

226
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Building a human skull out of crystal

227
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,000
could serve as a sort of antenna for the consciousness

228
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,000
of someone who is a highly adept meditator

229
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,000
to be able to focus their minds for the purposes of healing

230
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000
or potentially for destructive purposes.

231
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
If the stories are true,

232
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
why did the skull's caretakers go to such great lengths

233
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
to protect the 22-pound object?

234
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Could there really be a potentially dangerous component

235
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000
to the Amar skull and other crystal skulls?

236
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Especially if one were to fall into the wrong hands.

237
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Bavaria, Germany.

238
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
March, 2011.

239
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,000
A 20-pound crystal skull is discovered at the former home

240
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
of a high-ranking Nazi SS officer.

241
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Some researchers believe the skull was once owned by Heinrich Himmler,

242
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
the sinister henchman of Adolf Hitler,

243
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
and the man who oversaw the extermination

244
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
of millions of people during World War II.

245
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,000
I for one think that probably Heinrich Himmler

246
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,000
had procured a crystal skull.

247
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:57,000
The Nazis were really obsessed with procuring ancient knowledge,

248
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,000
and part of that ancient knowledge was with the crystal skull.

249
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,000
In the waning days of World War II,

250
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,000
the Nazis were heavily involved in the Wunderwebbe

251
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000
that was going to change the course of the war

252
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,000
and pronounce them as victorious.

253
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Nazis, specifically Hitler, loved the occult.

254
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
There's no question that Adolf Hitler,

255
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
as barbaric and as insane as he was,

256
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:36,000
was into the occult and desperately wanted to possess all these things

257
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,000
because he believed that they would give the Nazis incredible powers.

258
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,000
They basically went on the hunt for as many of these relics and artifacts

259
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,000
as they could find to try and find out if these ancient religious relics

260
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,000
contained fantastic powers that could be used against the Allies

261
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
during the Second World War.

262
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,000
The Nazis were obsessed with skulls and skull imagery,

263
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000
and especially the knowledge of the ancestors.

264
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,000
It's not a stretch with their interest in ancient occult legends and lore

265
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,000
that the Nazis knew of the tremendous power of the crystal skull.

266
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Is it possible, as many ancient astronaut theorists believe,

267
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,000
that Hitler's henchman Heinrich Himmler acquired a crystal skull

268
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,000
in an effort to direct its power against those who opposed the Third Reich?

269
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,000
The legend says that mankind has to be sufficiently prepared

270
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,000
for the knowledge that the crystal skulls contain,

271
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:45,000
because apparently this is knowledge that can either be abused or used for good.

272
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
So in the case of Heinrich Himmler,

273
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,000
what we're seeing is a man who is going to will his power over everybody else.

274
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,000
The question is whether he used the skull

275
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,000
into trying to get people to do certain things.

276
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Crystal skulls are said to somehow be able to transform the intention of a human being.

277
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000
And this is very much a powerful weapon.

278
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000
This is something which can be used against other human beings.

279
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Are ancient crystal skulls, like the one possessed by Heinrich Himmler,

280
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,000
really amplifiers of energy, both positive and negative?

281
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,000
And if so, could the possession of a skull really give its owner

282
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,000
potentially destructive powers?

283
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Perhaps the answer can be found by examining the possible reason

284
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:46,000
why these mysterious crystal relics were fashioned in the shape of human skulls in the first place.

285
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,000
It may be that building a crystal in the exact shape of the human cranium

286
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
does have some sort of energetic quality.

287
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:06,000
The crystallized form of the human skull was believed to represent the eminence of the soul upon death.

288
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:13,000
It may even be possible that that crystal skull, when it focuses this human energy field,

289
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:20,000
could be used as a form of propelling the aspirin into an out-of-body experience

290
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:26,000
to resonate with their own skull to raise the frequency of their bioenergy field

291
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,000
so that they can achieve this out-of-body state.

292
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000
One interesting thing about a crystal skull is a crystal is a clear thing

293
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,000
and the idea of a skull is a very dark idea.

294
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,000
So you have light and dark combined in the same symbol.

295
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:49,000
And the kind of wisdom comes out of seeing something combine a holistic bridging of the light and the dark.

296
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Skull motifs are common really throughout the world to signify death and another world, a world of the dead.

297
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:07,000
In these mythologies there was an other world, a death world to which everybody went really when they died

298
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000
and it was very parallel to our own world.

299
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Intermittent Buddhism is very powerful.

300
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000
It has a deep, deep meaning because it stands for death.

301
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,000
It also stands for the transcendence of death or overcoming of death.

302
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,000
So it's a symbol that also represents impermanence of life.

303
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Were 13 ancient crystal objects shaped like human skulls in an effort to suggest

304
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000
they might have the power of life and death?

305
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,000
If so, what is the source of such an awesome ability?

306
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,000
And why has it been lost to mankind for centuries?

307
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answers might be found in a mythical lost civilization, one that vanished overnight.

308
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Atlantis.

309
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:19,000
In two of its famous dialogues, Timaeus and Cridius, the 4th century BC Greek philosopher Plato

310
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:26,000
describes this lost continent as an island founded by Poseidon, the god of the sea.

311
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Atlantis, at least as imagined by Plato, was very advanced technologically.

312
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Had very advanced and progressive ideas about justice, of law.

313
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:49,000
In addition to being a sort of technological marvel, it's also a model of ethical, philosophical and moral civilization as well.

314
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:57,000
According to ancient astronaut theorists, the Atlanteans also used objects made of crystal,

315
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:06,000
not only as a means of harnessing energy, but as a means to store important information, much like a computer.

316
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Part of the lore and legend of Atlantis is that the priests had taken the ancient relics and sacred knowledge of Atlantis

317
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:22,000
and deposited it, or perhaps even encoded it, into crystal objects, including skulls.

318
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:31,000
According to legend, the continent of Atlantis mysteriously disappeared thousands of years ago.

319
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:38,000
But if Atlantis actually existed, is it possible that a handful of its citizens survived?

320
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:44,000
And might crystal skulls be among the objects that survived with them?

321
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Could this explain why 12 of what are thought to be the original 13 skulls were found in nearly every part of the world?

322
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and for evidence, point to the curious similarities that exist between the ancient Mayans and modern-day Tibetans.

323
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:14,000
What we're finding is that in those places across the world which have said to have been a place of refuge,

324
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:22,000
in those places we have crystal skulls, specifically Tibet, specifically the Mayan world.

325
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Those two areas are specifically linked as being identified as refugees of the Atlantis civilization.

326
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:42,000
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?

327
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Tokyo, Japan, 2012.

328
00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:06,000
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.

329
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Hitachi announced some very exciting breakthroughs in etching data into actual quartz crystal type materials.

330
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:23,000
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.

331
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:29,000
And they were actually doing it in a scale where you can just look at it with a microscope and see the ones and zeros and read it out.

332
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:37,000
That chip, if intact, can be read a million years from now.

333
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,000
But that also takes into question how do you read the chip?

334
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Because you need to have the device with which to actually access the information.

335
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:56,000
And that is the problem we are experiencing with the crystal skulls if they contain knowledge.

336
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,000
We don't know where the on button is.

337
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:11,000
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.

338
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,000
So I really suggest it has to do something with extraterrestrial.

339
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Maybe there is information in the crystal skull, but we have not the technology to reach this information.

340
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
This is a question of the future.

341
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Modern science has researched and explored the use of quartz crystal in cutting-edge technology and communication.

342
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:47,000
But some ancient astronaut theorists believe that there is evidence that the ancients also recognized the potential of this uniquely conductive mineral.

343
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:53,000
Quartz is said to be able to hold power, to be able to absorb energy.

344
00:34:53,000 --> 00:35:02,000
It has been suggested that maybe the ancients used quartz to somehow hoard things in some way that we don't quite understand.

345
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Or possibly not to record so much, but to tap into other realms or to be able to use as communication devices.

346
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Certain types of receivers, crystal radios, television sets, other types of communication and even power for spaceships can be done through quartz crystals.

347
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:35,000
NASA even does special experiments in space where they want to grow perfect quartz crystals.

348
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:46,000
So the idea of quartz crystal technology being used by extraterrestrials as kind of high-tech technology makes a lot of sense.

349
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,000
What we know as a fact is that crystal is able to store information.

350
00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:01,000
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.

351
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Well, we might not have a means of extracting it.

352
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:15,000
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.

353
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:30,000
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?

354
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:48,000
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 is if all those skulls come together?

355
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Might crystal skulls really be part of an elaborate ancient computer system?

356
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Could they be data gathering devices used for both recording and transmitting information?

357
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Perhaps further evidence can be found by measuring the electromagnetic energy field or aura surrounding an actual crystal skull named Einstein.

358
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:27,000
This is Einstein.

359
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:45,000
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 that she had been able to find the crystal skull.

360
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,000
It actually communicated with her.

361
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:57,000
It was revealed to me by Einstein at the moment that I got him when I knew nothing about crystal skulls.

362
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:02,000
He said, I'm an ancient computer. In fact, I'm a master computer.

363
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:12,000
And we record everything like a live feed 24 seven. And that's our purpose.

364
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:20,000
He's been recording history on this planet since the beginning of time. So indeed he was an Atlantis.

365
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:28,000
A lot of the ancient crystal skulls have been in Atlantis and even before that time.

366
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Could the so-called Einstein skull really be an artifact from the lost civilization of Atlantis as its owner claims?

367
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Sedona, Arizona, 2013.

368
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,000
It's very clear down here and then it gets cloudy.

369
00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:06,000
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.

370
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:15,000
These auras appear as colors that correspond to various physical, emotional, mental and spiritual states.

371
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:23,000
With aura technology, we're able to use biofeedback imaging to pick up electromagnetic energy field around the human body.

372
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:30,000
And by looking at this, it's amazing. It's like our blueprint for our life and these energies are represented in colors.

373
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,000
I'm not expecting any energy to be coming out of the inanimate object.

374
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:40,000
So I'm a little skeptical in that I'm not sure what to expect when I photograph the skull.

375
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:48,000
And 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.

376
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,000
So I'm kind of excited to see this particular skull and what it emits.

377
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Hi Jamie.

378
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Hi.

379
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Hey.

380
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,000
And this is Carolyn and wow, here is the skull.

381
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Wow. This is fabulous.

382
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,000
So what do we do?

383
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000
These are biofeedback sensors and they're going to be reading the energy if there's energy around the skull.

384
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
So you're going to place it on here for me.

385
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Perfect.

386
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,000
So it has to go on both of the two sensors?

387
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Yes, because both sensors are picking up energy.

388
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000
So we want as much coverage as possible?

389
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Okay, that's perfect.

390
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,000
All right.

391
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,000
And now you just take a photo?

392
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,000
We're going to take a picture.

393
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,000
All right.

394
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:30,000
I don't have really big expectations honestly, but I think there is some energy in the skull.

395
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,000
So maybe this aura camera can pick it up.

396
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
All right.

397
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,000
And here is the aura of the skull.

398
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Okay.

399
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
That is amazing.

400
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,000
It's amazing.

401
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,000
So what are we looking at here?

402
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,000
I mean here we can see the skull.

403
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,000
It seems to be a very strong warrior type protective energy.

404
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,000
And if you look closely, that energy is arched over.

405
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,000
Right.

406
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Literal arc of protection over the skull.

407
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Now the blue that we see throughout the entire picture is wisdom and knowledge from traveling many lifetimes and many dimensions.

408
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Obviously, this skull has some consciousness and energy around it that it emanates quite strongly.

409
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000
And these other beings with it as well.

410
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000
He calls himself the skull of consciousness.

411
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Oh, there you go.

412
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000
It's like profound.

413
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:28,000
I was surprised really that the aura camera would pick up so much energy from the skull and the different colors.

414
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,000
There's something there.

415
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Does the photographed energy field surrounding Einstein help to prove that the crystal skull could in fact be some sort of recording device?

416
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:46,000
An extraterrestrial object used to harness both energy and information.

417
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Perhaps until all 13 legendary skulls are discovered, their true power will remain a mystery.

418
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:03,000
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.

419
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Is the legend going to come true?

420
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Part of this legend is that yes, these 13 crystal skulls are extraterrestrial skulls.

421
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:24,000
And when the 13 skulls are together, it'll create a new epic for planet Earth.

422
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,000
I think this planet is up in arms.

423
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:36,000
So if the legend's true that the crystal skulls are going to join together and create this incredible power to help us, it better be sooner than later.

424
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:57,000
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, their wisdom that can help the human race survive.

425
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:07,000
They specifically say that will come out of the crystal skulls is the lesson that we are all connected.

426
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:25,000
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.

427
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Could there really be a network of crystal skulls that will, when reunited, harness powerful forces?

428
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:42,000
And if so, will they reveal the truth about mankind's purpose?

429
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:55,000
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.
