les treizes cranes de cristal c'est un bobard , de plus il n'en existe que deux et le premier crane " trouvé " n'a jamais pu etre identifié comme vrais a 100% , les conditions de sa decouverte semblent meme suspectes a certain archeologues

pour la petite histoire : une Ste Autrichiennes en fabrique d'excelents depuis des dizaine d'années , parfaitement polis sans trace d'outilage moderne d'ailleur le British Museum a conclu que celui qu'il possede a etait fabriquer en Allemagne au 19e siecles

Le SkepDic faisant reference a une etude du british museum, je leur

avait demande s'il etait possible de se procurer leur rapport, que je

ne trouvais nulle part.

En fait le rapport n'a pas ete publie.

Au travers de leur recherche, ils n'ont pas etudie de cranes appartenant

a des particuliers. Ils ont aussi conclu que le crane qu'ils possedent a

ete fabrique au 19eme siecle et supposent qu'il provient d'Allemagne, en

se basant sur l'etude du smithonian institution. Ils n'ont pas fait de

declaration officielles a ce sujet.

Voici leur reponse:

Dear Mr L.,

Thank you for your enquiry about our crystal skull. There is some

confusion about what the research at the British Museum in 1996 actually

entailled. This is partly because it has not been published and partly

because the Morton and Thomas book and televisoin programme

misrepresented what research we actually carried out.

The research was essentially into prehispanic lapidary technology. It

comprised a survey of the limited archaeological evidence for workshops,

tools and raw materials and of written evidence. The scientific research

amounted to a comparative examination of tool marks on artefacts from

know contexts and of our crystal skull. The objects examined were a

group of rock crystal beads excavated from the Templo Mayor, a crystal

goblet excavated from Monte Alban and some Maya Jade items.

We did not examine any privately owned skulls, as Morton and Thomas have

suggested. It is true that we concluded that our own skull was probably

made in the mid 19th Century. Based on research carried out by Jane

Walsh at the Smithsonian Institution, there is reason to believe that it

could well have been made in Germany, along with other rock crystal

artifacts, but we have not made any statements declaring this to be the

case.

I hope this clarifies the situation in the absence of any published

report.

Yours Sincerely,

J. H.
