Lookin through Cristal Spectacles at the , past Darkly
๐๐
This program should be introduced as a work of fiction, because none of the outlandish claims for the "Skull of Doom" have been verified. Even the details of its 'discovery' in Belize are purely anecdotal–not how archaeology is usually documented. In fact, it has been subjected to tests which point to a modern manufacture, probably in Europe. It's a beautiful piece of gem carving, but that's it–the crystal skull does not know what you're thinking; it cannot 'save the world' etc. because it's a rock.
Anna and her father should have been a politician's. Even to this day, there isn't an honest one!
Boooo! Down with this sort of thing!
ok wow
Made in China
"travel companion" sounds like a nonce
Anyone buying any of this?
I suppose the only thing we can ever really know for certain is that she needed to have her skull examined.
You walk out into the forest and say you found a magical one of a kind tree and you're some kind of crazy person but if you find a crystal shaped by another human, then all of a sudden you're someone special.
The Mayans saw that a white man had found a legendary treasure from their culture and started dancing with joy! What a load of BS.
A single man can adopt a 16 year old teenager ? I'm not comfortable with that part of the story. Why would he need to adopt a teenage girl? There's more to this story…
well she lived off of it for many years. ๐ฎ๐
Aliemz..
Next they should tell the story of the five elemental rings that when combined will summon a being of immense power to save the planet…
Next, ancient astronauts please๐
I have this shiny green rock that talks to my dog and there is a picture of my ex mother in law on it
Anna Mitchell Hedges and her father are, and were, liars.
It would of been impossible to reproduce this back in the day,,,,,lol,,, must be Aliens
Timeline docs are normally really good, this however not so much
All the skulls are fake. Saved you 45 minutes.
Yes I'm sure he was happy to adopt Anna and have her as a travel companion….. Just someone to travel with, nothing else of course…..
You're introduction should actually start of by: "In 1924 a young fraudster and her father concocted a scam where they pretended to find a crystal skill in South America which they in actual fact bought on an auction." That would be more factually correct.
I really like your videos, they're so good, I'll regularly subscribe to your channel
Everyone talks about this crystal skull. No one talks about Crystal Pepsi. Go figure!
All these scientists are lying mitchell hedges skull is real.
All modern fakes , TOTALLY proved THOUSANDS of times but y'all keep on pushing the BS!!!
There is a receipt from a famous British auction house for 400 pounds Sterling for a crystal skull signed for by Fredrick Hedges. Hmmmm, how strange.
A wonderful historical coverage work about the Skulls ๐of doom ..thank you time line channel for sharing
Westerners' political businesses in the 60th, early 70th, needed that attractive, mysterious myths ( crystal skull ๐) to capture youths generations minds. ..as decisiveness fantasy โจ๏ธ. …How many myths are circling ( rounding) around Number (13)…?
Lemma, did they get the jet that she flew over on wrong, because in the Sixtys and Seventys that jet should have been a Boeing 707 or a 727, right โ๏ธ
So she says lol This should be good for a laugh or 2. Just like we went to the moon. Not me NASA REPRESENTITIVES and others have said we need to get to the moon 1st before we can explore deep space. Are THEY LYING!!? cuz I was told we went there in a beat up washing machine in the late 60's…or was THAT A LIE!? 50 yrs on technology wise n we are talking about having to get to the moon 1st…..huh Im NO EXPERT…but Im confusioned! ๐ ๐ This is a FUN STRORY though. 5th Element vibe going on.
12 skulls makes more sense with zodiac bs
Save yourself 50 minutes, its fake.
Interesting story, but I feel a but cheated on how much attention this got
Alss the skull was deened a fake. I wo der why he suddenly mentioned it decades later and why he kept it if his daighter had found it. Pretty greedy i guess. Conversely . Why didnt she want it if he was keeping it a secret anyway . If the skull was made in the image of a powerful priest . A myan ceetainly didnt live for 39 years, much less the 159 its being claimed on having take to make it
. Hogwash!!!!
Interesting enough all were cut from solid crystal rock. So all are worth that in weight
she ' found ' it……
I was always curious who made these skulls and why or of they were gift from the aliens (Us from the future)? But I think that no one should touch them or find them or put them all together in one space cause it may end bad and aomething makes me feel weird and like scared and sick in my stomach. And I'm curious if Anna and her dad didn't had visions or burns on their skin or if they had visits from spirits after finding this one skull?
Why they can't find and hire person/medium to tell them anything and everying about cristal skulls?
I have one in madurai.
Good story!
Such an obvious hoax. Someone originally lied to make money and more people piled ovee the years to get a piece of that sweet hoax money for themselves.
I do love the thought of some pranksters making a crystal skull and dropping it off at a museum with an ominous note.
