Max the ancient crystal skull (18lbs - one piece) is considered by many, including the British Museum, to be one of the rarest artifacts ever found is the inspiration for the next Indiana Jones film due to be released this spring. Estimated to be many thousands years old, Max was found in a Mayan tomb in Guatemala in the 1920's. Used by Mayan priests for healing and prayer, the skull was given to Norbu Chen, a powerful healer of the Tibetan sect of Red Hat Lamas. After studying in India, Chen traveled to Guatemala where he studied with the Mayan priests. It was here that he came into the presence of MAX. Chen was given this precious artifact when he left the Mayans for use in his journey as a healer.

Max, along with other ancient crystal skulls, remains a mystery with regard to its origin, including who carved it and where it is from. Many who have been in the presence of these crystal skulls feel that they are from other dimensional realms and perhaps were used by ancient civilizations (including Atlantis and Lemuria) to sustain contact between Star Beings and the human race.

Max will appear at Essence For Life in April.
