It is clear that some of the "psychic communications" between some people and the skulls make for "extravagant" and at best unlikely claims. Sceptics have had a field day with tales of how the skulls are of alien origin, perhaps from such star systems as the Pleiades or Orion, and claims that they may be hundreds of thousands of years old.

The new Indiana Jones film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, is scheduled for release in late May 2008. We are planning to include a presentation of the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull at the NEXUS Conference on 4-6 October 2008 on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. The Crystal Skull will also be on tour of the east coast of Australia during October and November. For more on the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull, see Philip Coppens's article in our next edition.
