Why did Spielberg and Lucas choose this theme?

A Crystal Skull in an Indiana Jones Film?

by Joshua Shapiro, Crystal Skull Explorer

The most famous crystal skull in the world known as the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull of Love, discovered in 1924 in the ruins of a Mayan city in Belize. This crystal skull is an exact duplicate of a human bone skull and is comprised of two pieces, with a lower separate jawbone.

Since 1983, I have had the pleasure to know and experience directly a number of what are being called very old or ancient crystal skulls in the world. So as you imagine, when the title of the new Indiana Jones film was announced on September 9th and that a crystal skull would be involved in the story, my life has never been the same again. However, quite a few people have been wondering why did Spielberg and Lucas (I read on the internet this decision was more Lucas) decide to have our favorite adventurer, Mr. Indiana Jones, be involved in a mad chase with the Russians to find a crystal skull (or skulls)? In this article, I shall endeavor to offer some ideas to address this.

At the time of the release of this article, the public haven’t seen the film yet but I was able to read an overview of the story on the internet and purportedly there will be several crystal skulls (seven) appearing in the film. In the last trailer, Indiana Jones discusses that the crystal skull has a special power linked to it. So first, let’s discuss the reality of what a crystal skull is.

As the two words used define this object, it is simply a piece of quartz crystal which has been shaped in the form of a human bone skull. Through the Society of Crystal Skulls International, founded by F. R. ‘Nick’ Nocerino (deceased) there are three classifications of crystal skulls discussed today

a. Contemporary or new crystal skulls (those created by the modern carvers of today predominately from China & Brazil.)

b. Old Crystal Skulls (crystal skulls carved over 100 years ago up to about one thousand or fifteen hundred years)

c. Ancient Crystal Skulls (a crystal skull made from 2,000 years and older, for which we are unsure which civilization(s), constructed the skulls and by which means.)

Now, it is my understanding that the readers for this on-line magazine are oriented towards subjects of the new age, which are spiritual in nature or related to the paranormal. Therefore, I am not going to mince words and will just quickly share some of the key theories we have uncovered linked to the origins of the ancient crystal skulls.

Where did the crystal skulls come from? Based upon reports we have received from various people who either had a personal vision while in the presence of a crystal skull or are a sensitive who has worked closely with a skull – the possible answers we heard were:

1) Off Planet (gifts from the Gods);
2) made by a very advanced civilization in the past (Atlantis or Lemuria or older);
3) They come from the people who live in the Inner Earth (the theory that our world is hollow and living on the inner surface of our world are people who exist in a higher spiritual vibration and are technology more evolved.)

Why were the crystal skulls created?:
1) They are the ancient computers (they have somehow recorded the history of our world by their ability to record events in their presence as vibrational images within the skull – and -- they have been implanted with the knowledge of the ancients to be shared with modern man at the right time to assist us.
2) They are a tool for healing and raising consciousness (they help to heal people of physical, emotion, mental or karmic issues and to open up a strong conscious connection to the inner part of our being or soul).
3) The skulls are publicly surfacing now to help humanity create a world of peace by inspiring or activating the best talents and skills inside of each of us and to bring out our inner creative gifts. Also they are activating the energy of love locked within our heart chakras so we can begin to work together in more cooperation and harmony with each other.

Since this is just a short article, I am sure the reader understands there is far more to the crystal skulls then what I can report here. Therefore I strongly recommend if you are intrigued by the crystal skulls, you may wish to explore the websites given at the end of this article for more information.

Now, finally let’s go back to our original question: Why would Spielberg and Lucas choose a crystal skull (or skulls) to be the ancient object being sought within this new film? Well, the crystal skulls are considered to be one of the greatest mysteries in our world, and if any of the theories we shared above are true, the crystal skulls may be one of the most important artifacts we know of that must be studied more closely.

Additionally, there are so many stories being told by different people about experiencing an extremely strong energy field surrounding these crystalline objects, so powerful that many people discuss how their lives have been profoundly changed after visiting with a crystal skull. There are a number of indigenous or native legends and prophecies which are linked to the skulls that basically discuss the crystal skulls are a key for humanity’s future especially when a specific number (13 is given) come together in the same place at the same time.

In my experience, when I had an opportunity to have a direct contact with various crystal skulls, I have felt a connection with a living consciousness or intelligence that is working through these crystals especially the very old ones. Who or what is this intelligence, I believe is beyond our comprehension but they wish to work with their human brother and sisters to help us create a peaceful world. So, dear reader, are you ready to meet one of the crystal skulls and do you believe they are here to help us change our world forever and see a golden age?

Thank you for your attention and interest,

I am just a crystal skull explorer traveling the world,
Stay tuned ….
