A curse, a blessing, a computer, a peace of art… these are a few ways crystal skulls
have been described and none more so that the Mitchell-Hedges Skull.
As we mentioned in the last video which you should check out if you have not already,
the crystal skulls were said to have been revered by the Mesoamericans.
Some say that the skulls were created by these ancients, others say they came from Atlantis,
others claim they are alien artefacts and many just state they are a hoax.
Do the skulls contain a mysteries power?
Well I doubt it, but one lady spent much of her life calming that the Mitchell-hedges
skull – known as the skull odd doom does…
Anna Mitchel-hedges was only a young girl in the year 1924 when on an expedition with
her father, Frederick, in the ancient town of Lubaantun in modern day Belize.
Frederick Michel-hedges was a man with ideas of grandeur, regularly calming to make many
discoveries – which tended to already have been documented for years, sometimes even
centuries – and he even said he discovered Atlantis in Honduras.
He even had his own radio show in the 1930s where he would tell his Indian jones style
adventures, and how he wrestled sakes, escaped native tribes and found treasures.
In 1924 Fredrick was looking to find another adventure and brought anna along to explore
the ancient ruins in Belize.
While walking in a pyramid complex, which was a dig site, anna discovered the skull
hidden away in the site under an altar.
And this is where the story starts to get weird…
Instead of publishing the finding, or really doing anything you might expect with it anna
kept the skull and it was not spoken about.
Even in his writings Fredrick did not make any mention of the skull despite writing extensively
about his trip.
Others present at the time of the excavation recorded neither the skull's discovery nor
Anna's presence at the dig…
Despite this the skull emerged in 1943, but Fredrick made very little claims about it
only briefly saying in an older edition of his live story that: "it is at least 3,600
years old and according to legend it was used by the High Priest of the Maya when he was
performing esoteric rites.
It is said that when he willed death with the help of the skull, death invariably followed”.
And this is exactly what anna began to claim.
Anna claimed that the skull gave here insight into the future, including JFKs assassination.
She also clamed that it had cured diseases and even killed someone…
From the 1970s onwards anna took the skull on various tours, and allowed it to be studied,
but withdrew it from study when experts began to say it was a fake.
Despite this people still flocked in their thousands to see the skull, and to use its
supposed supernatural ability… and anna kept a tight watch over the skull until her
death in 2007.
- This is quite a crazy tail, but it is even
odder if the skull is fake.
Since annas death researchers have discovered the skull was a replica of a European skull
and that it was made using modern tools.
Researchers had one believed Fredrick had planted the skull at the dig site for his
daughter to find but more resent research into the skull also seemed to suggest that
the skull was bought by annas father in a market in 1943…
This would mean that the story of anna being at the dig site was a hoax, and makes the
rest of the claims seem a bit crazy.
Possibly anna had the same ideas of grandeur as her father, or maybe she really believed
what she was saying about the skull.
But whatever the reason there are people today that are convinced the skull is the real thing,
and that it hold mystical powers we are not yet ready to possess.
And some even believe that out there are 12 other skulls that when brought together may
save us from the apocalypse…
- What do you think?
Where do you think the skull came from?
And do you think anna thought it was real?
