day, Hund apparently noticed that the sphere seemed to be particularly well balanced so he
decided to take it to the California Space Institute at the University of California for testing to
determine just exactly how well balanced it actually was. What the results of the tests surprisingly
showed, was that the sphere was in fact balanced perfectly and exactly.
The balance of the sphere was in fact, so exact, that it exceeded the limits of any of the space
institutes current measuring technology – and these are the people who make gyrocompasses for
NASA! Not too badly balanced at all really...

surface in deep underground mines and is estimated to be a staggering 2.8 Billion years old.
The Crystal Skulls
Perhaps it’s because they are fashioned in the shape of human skulls or maybe it’s due to the
hint of some dark and mysterious curse, whatever the reason may be; there are few artifacts that
have generated more interest than the crystal skulls.
There have actually been several crystal skulls of quite incredible workmanship found in
various places around the world though perhaps the most widely celebrated and also the most
mysterious of these is the Mitchell-Hedges Skull which has also been known as ‘the skull of
doom’(figs.46a & 46b). There are at least three very good reasons for this. Firstly, the skull is
very similar in form and size to an actual human skull, even featuring a fitted and removable
jawbone while most other known crystal skulls are of a more stylized or avant-garde appearance,
quite often with unrealistic features and teeth that are simply etched onto the surface of the
crystal. Secondly, it is as yet, unknown how the Mitchell-Hedges skull was constructed. From a
scientific and technical perspective, it appears to be an utterly impossible object that has been
made to a ridiculous degree of perfection by an unknown technique, which today's most talented
sculptors and engineers are still unable to duplicate, even by modern methods and quite simply
should not exist. Thirdly: It is a complete mystery as to where the skull actually comes from.
The discovery of the skull is still a controversial matter and one that has been brought into
question many times. The story goes like this: A British explorer by the name of F. A. Michael
Mitchell-Hedges, embarked on several expeditions with the aim of searching for evidence of the
lost civilization of Atlantis. He claims that his step-daughter Anna unearthed the skull in 1927
during such an expedition that he had led into the ancient Mayan ruins of Lubaantun, in Belize
(then called British Honduras). According to Mitchell-Hedges, Anna (then 17 years old) was
searching inside a structure that was believed to have once been a temple, when she found the
cranium of the crystal skull inside. At the time of the discovery, the skull was lacking its jawbone
which was itself found three months later, about 25 feet away from where the cranium had been
