Crystal skull

From Indiana Jones Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search
The crystal skull of Akator.

A crystal skull was a crystalline object shaped like a cranium which held supernatural properties. There were several skulls scattered worldwide, but held connections tracing back to the Americas. Indiana Jones believed he had stumbled upon half of them. Of the skulls discovered, each had a different power attributed to it which invariably led to death or disaster.

[edit] History

Thirteen skulls resided in the ancient kingdom of Akator with unearthly origins embodying the gods of a lost Mayan culture. Another was recovered in 1947 from the wreckage of an unknown object that had crashed in Roswell, New Mexico.

[edit] Behind the scenes

A real crystal skull.

Crystal skulls are real (though none have been authenticated as pre-Columbian in origin, and were most likely fabricated in the mid-19th century or later in Europe[1]) and while their paranormal properties are questionable, variations of the theme have been a part of the Indiana Jones canon since 1995 as part Jones' lecture notes in Indiana Jones and the Golden Vampires.
