=Mystery of the crystal skulls (video) = Are typically the ancient mysteries crystal skulls. In the world museums have collected many sculptures of human skulls made mostly of quartz. Their origin is unknown, but all are found in Mexico, Central and South America ie where ancient civilizations have flourished in Mayan, Aztec and Inca. Of all the archaeological finds of skulls most interesting and mysterious was discovered by the English archaeologist Albert Mitchell Hedges and his daughter Anna. He is the first crystal skull discovered in the jungle of the small Central American country of Belize, where they found many ancient ruins of Mayan civilization. The skull became internationally famous is named after its otkrvatelya - skull Mitchell-Hedges. Crystal skull was found among the remains of an altar in the ruins of an ancient Mayan temple. The skull is accurately made of transparent quartz, which is extremely well polished. It is the perfect copy of the skull in natural size, weighs 5 kg.i 190 g 203 mm length, 125.4 mm wide and is made from whole piece of rock crystal. According to scientists, the real miracle is that until now the skull does not break into pieces because of the peculiarities of the internal structure of this crystal - many veins and small bubbles. But they obviously did not prevent the construction and perfectly smooth surface of the skull. In 1970 the skull was subjected to careful analysis in the laboratory kristalofizicheska prestigious global company "Hewlett-Packard". Studies have shown that it was made without taking into account the molecular symmetry of the crystal and the extraordinary its fragility. Consequently, its construction can not be achieved even with a laser, without falling apart. Furthermore, the surface was not found any, even microscopic traces of the tool, which has been written. It is assumed only that the crystal skull was cut with a diamond because the hardness of the crystal is slightly smaller than that of diamond. Skull Mitchell-Hedges had a striking optical properties. In the eye sockets of the skull were placed expertly crafted lenses and prisms. Cheekbones acted as a modern optical fiber and light sent from the base of the skull to the eye sockets, which were located lenses. If the skull is illuminated eyes began to glow brightly, and if you focus a beam of light at the base of the nose, the whole skull began to glow, as if surrounded by a halo. Scientists said that no modern technology can not create such an object. One of them even said, "This damn skull simply does not exist!"
