The origins of two purportedly pre-Columbian Mexican crystal skulls
This page documents how this source is reused across Claim by Claim. A source can support, challenge, qualify or contextualize different claims; appearing here does not imply endorsement of every linked proposition.
Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.
Microscopy and material analysis found rotary-tool working and modern silicon-carbide abrasive on the best-studied museum skulls, evidence inconsistent with the claimed pre-Columbian manufacture.
Challenges
Tool marks, mineral evidence and archival provenance converge on modern manufacture rather than an authenticated pre-Columbian archaeological origin.
