What do ancient crystal skulls, Mayan prophecies, and a mysterious pre-Columbian manuscript have in common?
In this episode, we explore one of the most enduring legends in archaeology and fringe science: the mysterious crystal skulls. Linked to the ancient Maya, these eerie artifacts have sparked stories of healing powers, doomsday prophecies, and even extraterrestrial origins. But the truth may lie in something far older—the Dresden Codex, one of the last surviving Mayan books.
Was the Codex warning us? Were the skulls part of something larger? Or is this all an elaborate myth fueled by modern imagination?
Join us as we unravel the origins, theories, and controversies behind two of the strangest objects in the ancient world.
