As expected, the 'mystery of the crystal skulls' is becoming more and more a hot topic in the lead-up to the new Indiana Jones movie, slated for release next month. As mentioned in the news briefs earlier this week, Archaeology.org have posted quite a detailed and interesting feature about the crystal skulls, which I recommend anyone interested have a good read of. As mentioned in the article, and previously here on TDG, most of the mystery/controversy revolves around the provenance of the "Mitchell-Hedges skull" - and there is a good website devoted to that topic, the official Mitchell-Hedges website. Lastly, we also now have a Red Pill entry about the skull, kindly provided by our good friend, researcher Filip Coppens.

Excellent interview with Harrison Ford on the new Indy movie in USA Today, including a new photo.
Nothing new under the sun...
Jane Walsh's article in Archaeology provides nothing new; in fact, the counterarguments against her theory that I aired in the current issue of Nexus magazine (15.3) stand: there is NO evidence to connect these skulls to Germany, other than one antique dealer slagging the other one off, in attempts to get his share of the Mexican antiquities market.
The M-H site is working on a rebuttal to the article - and other statements being made - and should be up shortly.
Not to mention
Many skeptics continue to claim there's no evidence of tests done at Hewlett-Packard on the Mitchell-Hedges skull, which is complete rubbish. Any news on when you'll be putting that info online, Philip?
For Indy fans, here are screenshots of actual film footage.
H-P tests
Sceptics do their usual play on words. H-P indeed did not publish an "official" report, but they did extensive testing, which was written up by Frank Dorland. For sceptics, this reads as "HP did not do a report".
That H-P did tests is documented by several photographs, some on the net, some in books (eg The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls, Holy Ice, etc.)
Also, people working at HP at the time actually did interviews for documentaries later (eg BBC Everyman, 1996), and, again, some of these interviews were written up.
The Dorland family have a copy of this report, and we've asked whether we can put this up on the site at some point in the future.
