Those who claim to have discovered the skulls say they date back thousands—or even tens of thousands—of years, to ancient Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Aztec, Toltec, Mixtec, or Maya. Many who believe the crystal skulls are ancient attribute supernatural powers to them, including healing properties and the ability to enhance a person’s psychic abilities when in their presence.
