CRYSTAL SKULLS HISTORY

Key Moments in crystal skulls History
in the last 300 years

The history of crystal skulls remains somewhat of a mystery, but new information keeps coming to light. Crystal Skull Explorer Joshua Shapiro provides the following crystal skull history timeline as recorded in his 2004-5 Crystal Skull Explorers ebook (This crystal skull history willl be updated in the new printed edition in 2008)

18th Century
Early 1700’s : A Monk near Luv, Russia, while taking his daily walk notices a large rose quartz skull sticking out of a mound. Contained within this mound are a number of artifacts that are linked to the ancient Scythians, a people who lived in Russia over 1000 years ago. (Author’s Note: This is one of the skulls that is in the hands of Ms. Joky van Dieten, called the “Luv” skull).
Late 1700’s: A blind craftsman works with a local Shaman in the Amazon to fashion a human-size crystal skull from a large block of quartz. It is perceived that some spiritual entity of unknown origin is present within this skull. (Author’s Note: this skull becomes known “Windsong”, the caretaker is Floyd Petri).
19th Century
1840’s: The Redo family acquires a small crystal skull that includes a Christian Cross made from Gold and Quartz. This Cross is inserted into a circular opening at the top of the skull. The Crystal Cross shows a date of 1571 that is engraved upon it. The family received this skull either through a local Church or it was purchased.
1860’s-1880’s: Eugéne Boban works in Mexico (1862-1867) during the French Occupation and is appointed as the French Scientific Commission underneath Emperor Maximillan. It is suspected that at this time he begins to acquire some crystal skulls either found in various Mesoamerican ruins or has contacts with local skilled carvers. It is believed that the two crystal skulls that became known as the Paris and British Museum Crystal Skulls (in the Musèe de l’homme located in Paris and the British Museum in London) were acquired by Boban and were eventually sold to various individuals later during this period.
1876-1910: It is reported that President Porfirio Diaz of Mexico has a collection of crystal skulls on his desk. Two of the skulls that are purportedly a part of his collection are claimed to be an amethyst crystal skull (later to be known as ”Ami”) and possibly a large hollow Crystal Skull that was later sent to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. in 1995.
1878: Alphonse Pinart donates a clear crystal skull to Musèe de l’homme (Trocadero Museum) in Paris. He reports that he purchased this skull through Eugéne Boban.
1881: Inside of Boban’s catalogue of goods for sale for this year, he lists a human-size crystal skull (it is suspected that this is the British Museum Crystal Skull).
1886: A Mr. Ellis is reported in a New York City newspaper to have bought a large crystal skull from Boban. (Again suspected to be the British Museum Crystal Skull)
1890: In a book published by George Frederick Kunz, Gems and Precious Stones , he mentions both the Paris and British Museum Crystal Skulls. It is the first time a crystal skull is seriously discussed in a published book. This book states that a Mr. George Sission of New York City is in possession of a human size crystal skull (is this the British Museum Skull?).
1897-1898: Tiffany & Co., a New York based jeweler, sells a large crystal skull to the British Museum (London) for £120, who places it on display in January of 1898.
20th – 21st Century
1906: While a Mayan family is digging on their property (somewhere in Guatemala), a shovel strikes a hard object in the ground. It turns out that they have uncovered a human-sized crystal skull that is made from smoky quartz which is slightly different than our own human skull. (Author’s Note: This skull becomes known later as “ET” after it is procured by Ms. van Dieten.)
1910: As various local priests are assisting a team of archaeologists in the Mayan site of Copan, one of them uncovers a clear quartz crystal skull and hides this skull from the head of this team. This skull is then used to cure a plague for a local Mayan village.
(Author’s Note: This information was given by a Mexican Priest named Francisco Reyes who was responsible for bringing to the U.S. both this crystal skull {which becomes known later as the “Mayan Crystal Skull” during three months of research conducted by crystal skull researcher, F. R. ’Nick’ Nocerino} and “Ami”, the amethyst crystal skull.)
1910: The Mexican Revolution removes President Diaz, it is reported that “Ami”, the amethyst skull becomes the property of the “Lascurian” family in Mexico.
1923-1927: During the expedition led by British explorer, F. A. Mitchell-Hedges, to the Mayan ruins called Lubaantún (“City of Fallen Stones”) in Belize, his adopted daughter Anna discovers a hidden chamber inside of a pyramid structure where a clear quartz skull is discovered on January 1 st, 1924. (Author’s Note: This crystal skull is later called the “Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull” in honor of the leader of this expedition.)
1924-1926: A large 18 lb. (8.17 kg) crystal skull is found in a Mayan tomb in Guatemala and is safeguarded by the local people. (Author’s Note: This crystal skull later resurfaces with a Tibetan trained red hat Lama and becomes known as “MAX”.)
1936: In July, published in MAN, a monthly publication of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, contains an article comparing the form and appearance of the “Burney” Crystal Skull (Author’s Note: This is the Mitchell-Hedges Skull but is being held as collateral by Sydney Burney, a lawyer and antiquities collector) to the “British Museum Crystal Skull”.

1964-1970: Frank and Mabel Dorland (California), art conservators, meet Anna Mitchell-Hedges in New York City (1964). Ms. Mitchell-Hedges decides to give the crystal skull to Mr. Dorland for research. Frank Dorland conducts various tests in this six-year period with the crystal skull which are later reported in various books. He keeps the skull in his home and in a bank vault. He works with a number of different psychics to collect more information about the skull and is visited by numerous people that wish to experience this crystal skull, some of whom are very famous.
1970: Frank Dorland and author/journalist Richard Garvin bring the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull to Hewlett Packard in California to allow scientists to do various experiments upon this crystal skull.

He places numerous ads in several spiritually orientated publications and thousands of people respond. Over 400 private sessions are conducted with various individuals during the summer of this year.
2000+: Crystal Skull research is conducted on behalf of the World Mystery Research Center in the U.S. and Europe utilizing various ancient, old and contemporary crystal skulls and featuring a variety of different electronic devices
Within the last ten years or so, there are quite a number of newly discovered crystal skulls that have surfaced which are being considered ancient or old skulls. Also we continue to hear rumors and reports about other crystal skulls which are held in private hands that may soon be revealed to the public. There are far more (purportedly) ancient and old crystal skulls that are known today than the two or three that were publicly available during the early part of the 20th century.
