I dream of diving this one day... it would be hardcore
AcidHell2 said:also whats that thing about the crystal skulls is that myth or fact?
cleanbluesky said:Depends which of many rumours you are referring to, but it is certain that there is a skull known as the Mitchell-Hedges skull which is composed of a near perfect piece of clear quartz with a level of craftmanship that is believed to be unobtainable using present technology. It is also believed that the skull is aincient in origin, and it's owners claim to have found in South America (British museum dispute this). Who and how it was made remains unknown.

One of the 13 aincient skulls can be seen in the British Museum, although they have suggested it is a 'fake' after finding tool marks on a part of the artefact.
AcidHell2 said:yep thats the one I was thinking of. Would be cool if they could pin it down one way or the other..
cleanbluesky said:I'd like to know what will happen to the skull soon. Anna Mitchell-Hedges is in her 80s at least, I hope she chooses it's next owner very, very carefully.
AcidHell2 said:Think I'm going to have to read up about it, always been intrested in this type of thing. Don't know anything about this one. Do you no why it can't be reproduced shurly with CNC and laser things can be created down to nano meters or below?
