The book Danger-My Road, published in A.D. 1954, holds that this crystal head was made by the ancients more than 3,600 years ago: "According to archaeologists' appraisal, it will take at least 150 years to make this crystal head, and it will be polished with sand after carving and buried in the ground for at least 3,600 years before being unearthed. "
Other archaeologists disagree with the above conclusion. They think that the ancients who lived more than 3600 years ago could not have made such a beautiful crystal head because of the low level of science and technology at that time. So, when and by whom was it made?
There is also a crystal head in the French Museum of Anthropology. According to some French archaeologists, "this crystal head has been scientifically identified and is considered to be made by Astek, a Mexican Indian in 14 or 15 century. From the historical and religious point of view, it is estimated that it is a kind of decoration of the priest's staff of the Astek people, which proves that the Astek people have understood the beauty of crystals and the production technology of crystals in the Middle Ages. At the same time, it also shows that they knew how to smelt copper a long time ago, because many refined small copper tools were found near this crystal head. It seems that the crystal head was carved by the Astek people with copper tools. "
Some scholars support and agree with the above arguments. They think that from 14 to 15 century, the Astek people have created a high level of culture, and they can make pottery with fine texture and beautiful shape, which is characterized by brown and black patterns. Patterns have developed from various complex geometric patterns to realistic themes such as flowers, birds, fish and insects, and bronzes can also be forged with natural copper. They also have high skills in casting and casting gold. In 1978, during archaeological excavation, another large stone carving with a diameter of 1 1 ft and a weight of about 10 ton was found in Mexico. It was named "Moon Stone" and was carved by Astek people in 1470. From the historical facts listed above, it can be proved that the technological level of Astek people at that time had reached a very high level and they were capable of manufacturing crystal heads. Astek people believe that the soul is immortal and worship many gods (sun, moon, cloud, rain, flower and five meters). When offering sacrifices to the gods, they often offer sacrifices with the living. This crystal head may be one of the objects used by Astrak to hold worship activities.
However, some scholars are skeptical or even negative about the above assertion. They believe that during the period from 14 to 15, the production tools and weapons of Astrak people were generally made of wood and stone, and they were still in the stage of tribal alliance, and they were transitioning from primitive society to early slavery. They also lack superb carving skills, so it is difficult to carve lifelike crystal heads.
There is also a crystal head in the British Museum. In the dark without lights, the transparent crystal head emits dazzling white light, showing a grinning "devil" image, which is daunting. This crystal head was bought by 1898 from Tiffany Jewelry Store in new york, USA. According to the store owner, it was sold to the store by a soldier at the end of 18. Some archaeologists believe that it may have been made by the azutians in Latin America during the colonial period. But this is only a legend, and it is not the unanimous conclusion of the archaeological community.
At present, scholars are arguing over the crystal head, and it is still difficult to reach a conclusion. What is its truth? When and for what purpose were these three crystal heads made? This is still a mystery to be deeply revealed by archaeologists.
