美洲土著人世代流傳着一個故事：祖先留下了十三個水晶頭骨，當地球文明達到極緻時，
它們會重新出現， 並揭示出人類過去和末來的秘密……
九十年代， 英國的兩個電視製片人果然在中美叢林的古廟廢墟中，找到了一個精美絶倫的水晶頭骨，
他們追蹤調查，終於發現十三個水晶頭骨已全部現世，每一個頭骨都來歷不凡且具有不可理喻的一些靈異表現。
這一發現和金字塔上的獅身人面像一樣神秘莫測，引起全球考古學界的一場激烈論戰……
本書是關於這一發現探索過程的真實全紀錄，作者攝製的同名電視紀錄片已在英國BBC及歐美各大電視網播映，引起舉世矚目。

"The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls" is the definitive guide to the facts and legends that inspired the May 2008 movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.It explores what these mysterious crystal skulls are, where they came from, and what they may have to offer.
The book follows Chris Morton and Ceri Louise Thomas on their journey of discovery from the ancient temples of the Maya to the British Museum, the Smithsonian, and to the crystal laboratories of Hewlett-Packard, where scientific tests on one of the skulls--made from the same quartz crystal used in today’s computers--lead to the conclusion, “This skull shouldn’t even exist.”
Their journey also leads to Native shamans and elders who reveal the sacred knowledge and vital information that these skulls hold about coming Earth changes and humanity’s imminent destiny.

Page 2
According to an old Native American legend, there are 13 ancient crystal skulls, the size of human skulls, with moveable jaws, that are said to speak or sing. These skulls are said to contain important information about the origins, purpose and destiny of mankind and answers to some of the greatest mysteries of life and the universe. It is said that this information is not only important to the future of this planet, but vital to the very survival of the human race. According to these ancient teachings, one day all of the crystal skulls will be rediscovered and brought together for their collective wisdom to be made available, but the human race must first be sufficiently evolved, both morally and spiritually, so as not to abuse this great knowledge.
Page 50
Only since the beginning of the twentieth century have scientists begun to harness the incredible power of quartz crystal. So how was it that our 'simple' and 'primitive' ancestors had known to make the skull from precisely this type of material? Was it mere coincidence or could it be that they knew something we didn't?
Could it be that the crystal skull really was some sort of store of information, just as the ancient legend had said? Could it really contain an important message from our ancestors? At first, this seemed very far-fetched. It was almost unbelievable that a simple lump of rock could contain the great secrets of our forefathers from way back in the mists of time, But, despite our initial skepticism, after our trop to Hewlet-Packard we began to take this idea more seriously.
Page 52
In the case of the computer we have managed to work out a way of inputting and retrieving the information 'stored within it' through the process of electronics. But what if any information inside a crystal skull? We may not yet know the correct way to input and retrieve any information stored within it, but that does not necessarily mean that the information is not there. The analogy that comes to mind is of a Stone Age man or woman finding a computer and being told that it contains great knowledge and information. Without the necessary understanding of electronics and the appropriate passwords and commands, they would simply not believe it. Could we be in a similar situation with the crystal skulls? It may be that the information they contain is in a form that we simply do not yet comprehend. For it is only when we are able to interact properly with any information storage system that the knowledge stored within it comes into a form of existence that we can understand.
