Quartz crystals as the base material and processing technology to match the hardness of rock crystal, becomes unreasonable when the skull is the result of an ancient man-made.
Mitchell-Hedges is adventurous and well-known author of medieval British, who claimed to have found a skull made of crystal in his exploration into Mayan ruins of the monastery in 1920.
William Henry Holmes, an archaeologist from the "Smithsonian Archeology" creating articles to uncover the controversy surrounding the crystal skull. The article mentions that in the 19th century amid rampant trade in goods of art and antiques in Mexico, there is an antique dealer known for its collection of crystal objects.
Eugène Boban, a native of Mexico antiques dealer who opened a shop in Paris in 1870, is the person most associated with the museum collection of the 19th century about the crystal skulls. Most of the collection Boban, including three crystal skulls, has been sold to the ethnographer Alphonse Pinart, who later donated his collection to the museum portion Trocadéro, which became known as the Musée de l'Homme.
Although the mystery of the origin of the existence of the crystal skull has been the strongest yet, the subtlety of the work of medieval crystal is also another mystery. Hard crystalline materials need modern technology to be able to hone, carve and polished.
And like other art dealer Boban also did not disclose the source of antiques collection. So from where the goods are and with what technology the object, a mystery that was taken off by the merchant. Thank you for reading this article.
