00:00Average and primitive, these cultures were hardly primal.
00:05Their knowledge of mathematics, physics, and astronomy was brilliantly precise and sophisticated.
00:12Even today we have trouble explaining how these cultures achieved such exact knowledge.
00:19Most interesting, however, is the question of whether or not they carved these amazing objects.
00:25And if so, why?
00:28What is a crystal skull?
00:30We're talking about something that looks like a human skull,
00:33but made from quartz crystal or various types of quartz crystal.
00:37But there are three different types that are categorized of crystal skulls.
00:40Contemporary, which we have an example here.
00:43Old crystal skulls.
00:45And then we have what are called very old or ancient crystal skulls,
00:49which would be older than 2,000 years old.
00:52Most ancient crystal skulls are found in Mexico and Central America.
00:58The skulls can affect the human psyche,
01:02but science cannot explain how or why.
01:08When a person comes into the presence, their vibration, their unique energy,
01:13activates some components of knowledge in the skull,
01:16and there is a thought transference or a feeling transference that goes on.
01:20I see the crystal skulls, all of them, like little computers with different information
01:25that have been encoded by past civilizations.
01:28Joshua Shapiro feels that his own psychic abilities are enhanced
01:34by exposure to the skulls,
01:36and has developed special techniques in determining the characteristics of each skull.
01:43One of the tests that we do with crystal skulls is called scrying.
01:48Scrying is where we're looking for images inside of the crystal skull.
01:52What type of images?
01:54Some people see cities like Mayan cities, UFOs, extraterrestrials,
01:59mermaids, dolphins, whales,
02:01maybe even a scene from a place that nobody's ever heard of.
02:06And they appear in different areas of the skull.
02:09People can see them in the jaw, in the face, in the back of the skull.
02:14They can appear in different areas.
02:17Investigators like Joshua refer to people who possess crystal skulls as caretakers.
02:26One such caretaker is Joke van Dieten.
02:30Joke first gained notoriety in the 1950s as the first woman race car driver in Europe.
02:38My name is Joke van Dieten. I'm from Holland.
02:42And my mission now is to introduce crystal skulls to you.
02:50Quartz crystal comes from very deep under the Earth.
02:54It has been in the womb of Mother Earth for two million years at least.
03:01I think it has the healing energy of the Earth.
03:06This is the ancient crystal skull from Guatemala, found in 1906.
03:11And the moment I came in touch with it, I right away called it E.T.
03:16I wanted to actually do my own research.
03:22I'm a very skeptical person.
03:24I'm down to Earth, and I did not believe totally what people shouted.
03:32Joke have felt that dolphins, with their highly evolved brains,
03:37might be useful subjects in which to test the power of the skulls.
03:43Well, one of the dolphins wanted to have it.
03:47He was jumping out of the water, touching it all the time.
03:52And then the trainer said, you see, it's communicating with the skull.
03:57So yes, I would love to do some more research in that direction.
04:03The crystal represents the Earth, the energy of the Earth.
04:10So why would such a sensitive animal as a dolphin not respond to the energy of the Earth, the energy of the crystal?
04:21Very obvious, yes. I didn't doubt it a second.
04:25Unfortunately, soon after this event, Joke was diagnosed with a massive brain tumor.
04:32It was at first thought inoperable.
04:35However, surgery was undertaken, and Joke believes the skulls had a great influence on the outcome.
04:43I had an operation. I was very successful.
04:46I went home, and I came in contact with E.T.,
04:50and then I thought, well, maybe E.T. has been brought to me for that reason,
04:57to heal me, to prepare me for what I am doing now.
05:05Vincent Garcetti is an archaeologist who had never heard of crystal skulls.
05:11After meeting with Joke, however, his psychic abilities unfolded to reveal his part in the skulls resurfacing.
05:22Vincent traveled frequently to remote parts of Peru.
05:26It was at one of these trips that the skulls' influence through Joke called to him.
05:35At my first trip after that, I find a skull.
05:38But I think it was the other way around. They have found me.
05:41I have been there hundreds of times.
05:44And when I went to see the shaman of the tribe, the thing I see is a skull.
05:49And before I knew it, within the next two more trips, I had already covered four of them.
05:57Vincent's ability to locate crystal skulls may show a psychic connection, but a connection to what?
06:06The mysteries of their origin remain disputed.
06:10The crystal skulls could be gifts from the gods that were given to humanity to help us in becoming more aware of who we were,
06:19especially providing a very visible example of a mystery in front of our eyes.
06:24To us, the skull represents poison and death.
06:29But what did it signify to ancient cultures?
06:34Even today, it is nearly impossible to shape quartz crystal.
06:40How the ancients were able to create these peculiar artifacts remains a mystery.
06:47The true answer to why these skulls exist may never be known.
06:53The mystery remains a part of the world of the bizarre.
