Past
The Mayan and The Skull
Skulls are an important motif in Mesoamerican iconography. In
the Mayan tradition the symbol of the skull was linked to the
human mind, to human intelligence and
knowledge.
Rather than the heart, the brain was considered the centre of a
human being and the skull was a symbol of the entity of a
person.
The Mitchell-Hedges quartz crystal skull is a magnificently sophisticated bit of masterful art and it has nothing at all to do with death or mortality in the eyes of its original makers: it was believed to be a godhead-symbol of knowledge and wisdom.

Present
The Crystal Skull
It is the most mysterious and fascinating
archaeological artifact: there are a number of known crystal
skulls in existence, but of these the Mitchell-Hedges skull is
unique in its extraordinary craftsmanship. It has been studied by
both scientists and physicists with no conclusive
proof as to how old it is or even how it could possibly have been
crafted from a single large crystal.
Journeys with the Crystal Skull
The Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull has toured a lot. Its caretaker has walked all around the world to spread the crystal skull message.
Future
Notice
