Journeys of a Crystal Skull Explorer is the new book done by Joshua and Desy Shapiro. This comprehensive book takes a look at one of the world's greatest mysteries known as the crystal skulls. A crystal skull is a piece of quartz crystal that has been fashioned into the shape of a human skull. Since the 19th century, these crystalline objects have been uncovered within or near ancient ruins in Mexico and Central America. The scientific and archealogical communities generally avoid contact with these artifacts but within the MesoAmerican and Native American communities, the crystal skulls are reverred as sacred tools and it is told within their prophecies that the crystal skulls are important tools to help Humanity create peace in the future. Joshua Shapiro has been involved in teaching and researching about the crystal skulls since 1983, when he saw an almost human sized crystal skull made from amethyst in California believed to have been used by the Mayans. He met his wife Desy in Holland in 2001, and since that time, they have worked closely together to offer public events in America, South America and Europe. Inside their new book is contained: Numerous interviews with owners of various crystal skulls including some of the most famous ancient crystal skulls; An overview of how the crystal skulls are being made by modern carvers; Fantastic personal stories and encounters with the crystal skulls and how this contact changed people lives in a very profound way; Personal experiences and their world travels by the authors (including the search for a Blue Crystal Skull); The important insights about the crystal skulls from various indigenous contacts in the Americas and how the crystal skulls are connected to their future prophecies; And finally, new research done on behalf of the author's non-profit research center, The World Mystery Research Center, how the energy field surrounding the crystal skulls can affect and improve the health and well being of individuals in their presence and secret codes linked to the skulls themselves. The book includes 563 pages with many photographs and illustrations and a comprehensive resource section. Perhaps this is the most comprehensive book about the crystal skulls to date.
