The real ‘Crystal Skull’

The real ‘Crystal Skull’

July 7, 2008

And you thought George Lucas was making all that stuff up about Crystal Skulls.

Turns out there actually are crystal skulls like the kind Indy is searching for in the latest “Indiana Jones” adventure. Whether they have any mystical powers is another matter.

Check out “The Legend of the Crystal Skulls” at 8 p.m. EST Thursday July 10 on The Smithsonian Channel. The new special recalls a Smithsonian Institution curator’s 16-year quest to find the origins of a crystal skull mailed anonymously to the institution roughly 16 years ago.

The same day the special airs the actual Smithsonian will reveal that crystal skull, one of several known skulls in existence. It will remain on display through Sept. 1.
