thedaytheytriedtokillme: The Mitchell-Hedges Official Website apparently this is the skull that was the model for the Indiana Jones one: …It is about the size of a small human cranium, with near perfect detail. …the skull had been carved with total disregard to the natural crystal axis and no metal tools were used. Dorland claimed he was unable to find any tell-tale scratch marks, except for traces of mechanical grinding on the teeth… As the skull is made from quartz, no carbon or any other dating techniques can be performed on it… This only makes me admire the Damien Hirst one more.
