David Hatcher Childress and Stephen Mehler have put together one of the best books on the market about Crystal Skulls that pack a one-two punch.
Childress starts it all off with insight into the technology that exist and is being developed based on and using crystals. He then takes the reader back in time to the Mayans, Aztecs, Zapotecs and other Mesoamerican cultures to where these mysterious skulls seemed to have been an important part of the beliefs and quite possible their ceremonies and rituals. He even raises and looks at the question: Did Mexican Emporerors' have a secret collection of Crystal Skulls? Some even say that this is where the Mitchell-Hedges Skull come from. Childress finishes his section our with a close look at the controversial Mitchell-Hedges Skull and some of the theories as to how it was obtained.
The second half of the book, which is authored by Stephen Mehler, is where the reader is introduced to some of the famous skulls and the stories behind them. Mehler also does a great job on highlighting the life of Nick Nocerino, who was considered the foremost expert in the research of Crystal Skulls. This leads into the section of the book that looks at the research of the Crystal Skulls and information gathered from that research. Mehler discusses some of the testing that was done on various skulls as well as some of his own experiences.
This was a great collaboration between two authors and a recommended read for anyone interested in Crystal Skulls. You will learn a lot from this book as well as read about some important people in Crystal Skull research coupled with some amazing stories. Packed with tons of pictures and sketches helping visualize what is being talked about only adds to an already well put together book.
