In Episode 25 of the 5 Minute Mysteries podcast, we explore the enigmatic crystal skulls, a collection of intricately carved quartz skulls that have sparked debate, fascination, and controversy for over a century. Claimed by some to be ancient Mesoamerican artefacts with mystical powers and dismissed by others as 19th-century forgeries, these skulls have inspired countless legends. Are they relics of lost civilisations, proof of extraterrestrial contact, or simply elaborate hoaxes? Join us as we unravel the mystery behind the crystal skulls and uncover the truth behind one of history's most puzzling artefacts.
