The 13 Crystal Skulls Said To Bestow Mystical Powers

In 1924, Anna Mitchell Hedges found a crystal skull in Central America, believed to possess magical telepathic powers. Legends suggest that 13 such skulls will unite to unlock mysteries of life when humanity is spiritually ready. Anna and Frederick, her father, searched for a lost Maya city, eventually discovering the ruins of Lubaantun. Anna’s discovery of the crystal skull occurred on January 1, 1924, inside a pyramid chamber she explored with her father’s help. Scientific examinations revealed the crystal skull’s extraordinary craftsmanship, but tests suggested it was a modern creation made with industrial diamond tools in the 19th century, contradicting claims of its ancient origin.
