Who knows how many Mayan crystal skulls there are? What's the difference?

13. Among the ancient civilizations in the world, the civilization created by the ancient Mayans living in Central America is the most puzzling: they seem to fall from the sky, reach their peak in the 3rd century to the 9th century, and then come to an abrupt end.

People don't know what happened in the 9th century 100. People only know that all kinds of huge engineering pyramids, palaces and temples built by Mayans suddenly stopped construction, and all Mayans accepted some mysterious instructions, gave up their hard-built homes and moved to more desolate mountainous areas. This is a mystery left by the Mayans to future generations. Not only that, the Mayans left another incredible mystery-the mysterious and ingenious crystal skull.

Mysterious legend

There is an old legend among American Indians: in ancient times, there were 13 crystal skulls that could talk and sing. These crystal skulls contain information about the origin and death of human beings, which can help us solve the mystery of life in the universe. Legend also believes that one day people will find all the crystal skulls, gather them together, integrate the great wisdom of human beings and play their due role. This legend has been circulating in America for thousands of years. For a long time, people thought it was just a beautiful myth or fable. No one knows what the legendary crystal skull is. From the content of the legend, it looks like an all-encompassing information base, an all-knowing gobbledygook, but people know nothing about it and even doubt its existence.

An unexpected discovery

/kloc-European explorers in the 0 th and 9 th centuries believed in this legend, although no one had ever found those legendary crystal skulls. Until 1927, Anna, a British girl, finally made an amazing discovery on her birthday.

Anna's adoptive father, Michelle Haggis, is a British explorer and a member of the Mayan Cultural Committee of the British Museum. She was fascinated by Mayan civilization. 1924, Michelle organized an expedition from Liverpool, England, accompanied by his beloved adopted daughter Anna, and arrived in Central America along the waterway.

With the help of local Mayans, the expedition finally found an ancient Mayan city site in the uninhabited tropical jungle of Belize in Central America today. This is an ancient city submerged by vines and trees. It took the expedition a whole year to restore the ancient city to its former style.

Michelle was stunned by the ruins of this ancient city. The height of this castle far exceeds that of the surrounding villages. It is 65,438+050 feet high and covers an area of 6 square miles, including pyramids, palaces, tombs, city walls and basements. Every part of the castle is made of cut white rock. The Mayans used primitive stone axes to create such exquisite works, and their labor intensity was incalculable.

Influenced by her adoptive father since childhood, 17-year-old Anna is also excited about everything in front of her. She climbed to the top of the pyramid, the highest point of the castle, and could see the beautiful scenery of the tropical jungle. It was because of her initial curiosity that a mystery of the Mayans was solved.

Anna was enjoying the scenery when she suddenly found something shining deep in the crack of the pyramid. She immediately told her adoptive father that Michelle took all the members of the expedition to the top of the pyramid to remove the loose stones at the edge of the crack. After several weeks of hard work, she finally dug a hole that could accommodate a villain. Anna climbed into the bottom of the cave alone. Suddenly, she found something illuminating her face. A closer look shows that it is a crystal similar to a human skull. She was very excited and took it back to the top of the pyramid.

The treasure Anna found was the upper part of a transparent crystal skull, and Michelle ordered the team to continue digging. Three months later, they found the lower part of the crystal skull 25 feet away. Together, the two skulls are exactly the size of a real skull.

This crystal skull is17cm long,12cm wide,12cm high and weighs 5kg. It is carved from a large piece of complete crystal according to the shape of adult female skull. Its workmanship is very meticulous. The nasal bone is composed of three crystals, and the two eye holes are two round crystals. Its jaw part can be connected with the skull part or disassembled, and the whole structure is extremely exquisite.

As usual, Michelle dedicated the crystal skull to the leader of the local residents. When Michelle's expedition was about to return to England, the local leaders presented Michelle with the crystal skull in return for the help of the expedition in providing them with medicine and food. Later, people called this skull "Michelle Haggis Crystal Skull". After Michelle died, this skull has been treasured by Anna.

The mystery of life is unknown.

The appearance of the crystal skull touched the nerves of archaeologists all over the world. They compared the crystal skull with the real human skull and found that the parameters were almost the same as the real human skull except that the eye characteristics were slightly within the normal range of human beings. ...

An old Mayan man told Michelle that the crystal skull was at least 654.38 million years old and was made in memory of a great Mayan priest. However, not many people believe him. Scientists try to find out the exact production time, but the physical characteristics of the crystal decide that it will never be known.

In addition, there is a tiny circular groove under both sides of the skull surface, so that the mandible can be connected with the skull and can be opened and closed freely like the mandible of a human skull. Exquisite carved teeth and smooth cheekbones all show the producer's thorough understanding of human anatomy.

But crystal is one of the hardest materials in the world, and tools made of copper, iron and stone can't be processed. /kloc-what tools did the Mayans use more than 0/000 years ago? In addition, although this pure and transparent crystal has high hardness, its texture is brittle and fragile. Scientists infer that if you want to make it look like thousands of years ago, you can only slowly polish it with very fine sand and water from a very large crystal stone, and the producer has to polish it 24 hours a day for 300 years to complete such a masterpiece.

One puzzle after another.

According to legend, the secret information of human origin and death is hidden in the crystal skull, which can help people solve the mystery of cosmic life. If this is true, how will it tell people these secrets? Will it really talk one day? Scientists certainly won't believe it. They believe that if the legend is true, then the crystal skull may be an information memory for storing secret information, or, in layman's terms, a hard disk.

Scientists have done this experiment. They use crystal as the storage medium of information, write some information in it with laser, and then use instructions to recover it after a period of time. The data inside is intact. Experiments show that if someone wrote data into the crystal skull thousands or tens of thousands of years ago, it can still be preserved today.

If the crystal skull is really an information memory, how did the ancient Mayans store information thousands of years ago? Have they mastered science and technology that modern people don't? How do people extract information? Scientists can't do anything about it.

However, the ancient Maya gave us more confusion than that. Scientists have found that when a beam of light shines on this skull, the prism hidden in the base combined with the hand-polished lens in the eye socket can produce a series of optical changes. Its dazzling light beam has hypnotic magic, which can cause hallucinations, auditory hallucinations and other phenomena. Frank Doland, a crystal expert who has studied the crystal skull for six years, said that when he approached the crystal skull, he could hear a "very quiet and obvious sound, like from a high-pitched bell", and he could also see images such as "mountains and temples" from the crystal skull. Some people even found that their diseases were miraculously cured after touching the crystal skull. All kinds of magical phenomena are really incomprehensible. Modern optics came into being in the17th century, and it was impossible for the ancient Mayans to use it.

All the mysteries concentrated on the crystal skull are incredible, so some mystics simply attribute it to whisperd's masterpiece. Before they left, they gave the crystal skull as a gift to the Mayans. After that, the Mayans kept it in the pyramid until Anna found it. Scientists can't prove this statement, but when science can't make a reasonable explanation for some mysterious phenomena, this guess is more acceptable. Maybe it's really an alien masterpiece.

The real origin is questioned.

Michelle Haggis's crystal skull gathers all kinds of mysterious phenomena and mysteries, which makes people's speculation about it more and more bizarre, but in fact, this skull is not the first or the only one to be discovered.

So far, about a dozen crystal skulls have been found in the world, three of which are kept in museums or research institutions, and the rest are private collections.

Moreover, these dozens of crystal skulls are not all Mayan relics. But among all these skulls, Michelle Haggis skull is undoubtedly the purest, most perfect and most magical one.

Perhaps it is because this skull is so perfect that it has always been envied by human beings, which makes people doubt its true origin. Especially when the crystal skull was unearthed, Anna herself had different opinions. In an interview with 1962, she said that the crystal skull was discovered by her father while excavating Mayan ruins in the late 1930s. 1968, when she wrote to the experts who studied the crystal skull, she said that the skull was discovered in 1926; 1982, when she answered the inquiry of scholar Nicole, it became1924 again; In the mystery of the crystal skull published by 1995, it is said that the crystal skull was discovered on Anna 17' s birthday.

All these have to make people doubt the real origin of Michelle Haggis crystal skull.

Everything may be a lie.

The investigators also found that among the Indians, only the ancient Aztecs had the habit of carving skulls, while the ancient Mayans did not have such a habit, which made the mysterious aura shrouded in this skull more and more false. ...

Scientists believe that crystal is a magical thing and it is easy to be fascinated. In addition, the skull is also easily reminiscent of death and death. The hypnotic effect of carving a skull with crystal doubles at once, so people who are easily hinted will be hypnotized by it, producing auditory hallucinations and hallucinations.

June 5438+October 2005 10, an event shocked the archaeological community: the crystal skull of the ancient Aztec people in Mexico in the British Museum was officially identified as a fake by scientists, and the archaeological community was in an uproar.

At the same time, people also questioned Michelle Haggis's skull comprehensively.

Although these two skulls come from different sources, they are very similar in overall shape, and both of them are based on a female skull. The difference is that the skull of the British Museum is a whole piece of crystal, while the mandible of Michelle Haggis's skull is independent, detachable and more exquisite, but the two skulls are strikingly similar, making it hard to believe that they are made independently.

The crystal skull in the British Museum is said to have been found in the ruins of ancient Aztec in Mexico. Scientists found that the crystal skull was polished and cut with wheeled tools, and this technology did not exist in the American continent at that time. There is no doubt that people now have more reason to doubt the authenticity of Michelle Haggis' crystal skull.

Some scientists tend to think that it is not a Mayan relic, but a product of modern people in the19th century. However, this 100% pure and transparent crystal is invaluable even if it is not a cultural relic. Who will use it to make fake cultural relics? Now, Anna has refused to make any scientific appraisal of the crystal skull, so scientists can't judge whether it is a fake made by modern people.

But people are still willing to believe that one day, modern science and technology will completely uncover the mystery on the crystal skull, let the truth surface, and let the facts be revealed to the world. (According to chongqing morning post)
