Happy Thanksgiving everyone. M.J. and I are grateful for all of the readers of this blog! Have a lovely holiday weekend.

In part I of our Crystal Skulls series we want to introduce you to the mysterious legend of these enigmatic skulls. Were they carved by the ancient Maya for healing and shamanic purposes? Or were they created by a prehistoric advanced civilization (such as Atlantis) to store vast amounts of encoded information?

In the next installment, a dear friend, healer, doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and blogger Lily Diamond (Green Mother Medicine blog) will do a guest post on her recent experience visiting with the skulls which were on a “sacred journey” across the U.S. that culminated in the 11.11.11 Crystal Skulls World Mysteries Gateway Conference in a Los Angeles. Lily was able to hold one of the skulls in her hands, and has some very interesting things to say about her experience. Stay tuned to The Museum of Mysteries…

For a little background from the Mayan perspective, here’s a short video:

I recently went to a fantastic movie, “Anonymous”, about the mystery surrounding the authorship of the Shakespeare canon. While the film is fiction, it includes elements of fact that do seem to imply a feasible possibility that William Shakespeare is not the name of the author who penned the works of “Shakespeare” –

The director of the film, Roland Emmerich, has put together a compelling little video of ten reasons why Shakespeare did not write Shakespeare…

For more on the mystery, the film’s website has a debate going and a series of very educational links on the matter, here.

NPR has also done some work on this:

Even with concrete evidence still out of reach, listening to astronaut Edgar Mitchell speak about his certainty that extraterrestrials have indeed visited our planet, is utterly intriguing…
