Summary: A Must Read!
Review: Amazing. This book absorbede!The knowledge(?) provided through this book is of great potential importantce to everyone - worldwide. The style is easy and engrossing, and the author's take on a multi-angled view in their research. Looking at the science, archeology, and mythological evidence (as well as the many eye witnesses to the skulls mysterious powers) the book points towards invaluable insights, from the origins and forgotten histories of humankind, to the possiblilies and purposes of our future destiny. After reading this book, my whole perception of the world shifted sideways - twenty foot that way! (he says pointing in both directions). A real must read for anyone interested in the ancient mysterious, ancient wisdom and/or spiritual knowledge. Take a look and decide for yourself. NB. If you like/liked this book, take a look at 'The Scole Experiment' - I think you'll like that too.

Summary: Good research on the topic
Review: Are you interested in finding more on one of those mysterious findings emerging from the past? But this time you'd like to be taken for an intelligent person, not a gullible E.T. or high-tech Atlantis freak. When I first opened the book I armed myself with a thick mental shield, as I was expecting to read about highly technological ancient civilizations or worse, extra-terrestrial descents onto the earth. It's nothing like that. The book lives up to its title, as it is a rational research presented in a detective fashion. So you'll be retracing the authors' path as they discover bits and pieces and fly back and forth between US and Europe and visit places and people. And you'll read about native South, Central and North American prophecies. And I think you'll get goose bumps as I did. Have a good reading.

Summary: A real page-turner
Review: I bought this book at the archeological museum at Uxmal in Mexico and couldn't put it down. Part mystery, part history, part metaphysics, and part science, it's a fascinating read.

Summary: A real page-turner
Review: I have read this book several times and will definately read it again. Each time I start it with the same level of intrigue and excitement and when I begrudgingly turn the last page I come away with a sense that I 'get' something about life that I failed to see before. Morton and Thomas take you on an epic journey of the past, present and, most importantly to this book, the future. The book reveals many aspects of the lives and prophecies of those from the ancient world in the authors quest to make some sense of the mysteries behind the skulls - concentrating on the indigenous Central Americans, but including everything from Atlantis to Egypt. This is a book with something for everyone - history, philosophy, religion, and environment - but with all the trappings of a gripping suspense novel. Although nothing definite is proved it achieves its aim to fascinate and leaves you wanting more. To revoke the authors for not reaching anything totally conclusive is to undermine their aim and miss the point of this book. The story is urging us to look at the way we treat our planet and each other and captivates the imagination leaving you ultimately inspired. Read it !

Summary: ill thought out by such a supposed clever e.t. civilization.
Review: Much as it's a fascinating idea and full of great mystery and wonder, there are two major flaws with this book: 1)This book is written in the same 'let's patronise the west' style as many other books. Claiming that we're not 'clever' enough to know things already like the fact that on the quantum level things are uncertain (we've known this for 90 years give or take), like the fact that information can be stored in crystal form or for that matter within physical materials.....duurr how long have we known about this? Anyone heard of a computer chip??? Enough patronising the west, it merely shows the author's ignorance in these matters not the western world's. Besides, it is the western world that is now teaching the east both the learned disadvantages of not preserving the environment - the east is rushing headlong to destroy it's own - and the necessity to appreciate what's truly important having become too engrossed in materialism and consumerism - something which the east is also rushing headlong into. 2)If the supposed civilization which created these amazing skulls did store the information claimed - and it's not simply come from the imagination or subconscious mind of the medium or shaman as is more than likely - why did they not make the information available to human civilization earlier so that rather than waiting until it's too late and the damage is already too far gone and the future consequences of the damage have already been set into motion and that all we can now supposedly do when they 'reveal' that the earth will split in 2 is to prolong the inevitable rather than have learned how to prevent it? These are hardly the actions of a supposedly intelligent set of 'beings' who supposedly left the skulls for us to find the message - but only that we would discover the message when we were sufficiently far advanced that the damage to our planet would already be irreversible!! This is patently ridiculous. So before we all start assuming that the end of the world is nigh - the earth will inevitably be destroyed in any case in the far distant future by the heat of the sun long before any other cataclysm if likely to overtake us - perhaps we should just be a little more sceptical and realistic and still spiritual and enivronmentally conscious but not be so quick to assume that such a contradiction must result in the inevitability of our own 'supposed' destruction due to our former shortsightedness. i.e. let's look at the likelihood that such a possible message should be left but made inaccesible to us all until it's too late anyway. Patently then a waste of their time even leaving such a message - and yes we are becoming far more spiritually aware of the connection between all things anyway which is probably the real reason the book was written beacuse the author wanted to get this point across as a principle in the form of an exciting mystery and supposedly 'secret' knowledge being passed on by higher beings......oohhh how exciting - and therefore it is highly unlikely that the beings were either so 'aware' or in fact particularly intelligent, if in fact any such beings have any relevance to this story anyway! P.S. This whole gene-splicing idea between humans and aliens does sound remarkably similar to the current storyline in The X-Files with the discovery of an alien spaceship containing the human DNA formula but 1000's of years old. So which came first the chicken or the egg......?????

Summary: The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls : A Real Life Detective St
Review: What an insight to the ancient world of the Mayan civilisation. I found the book fascinating. The reader will find himself constantly asking questions and will keep on reading presuming they will be answered but unfortunately not all are.! A thought provoking book - it would inspire all those would-be archaeologists!
