This time, the Russians are after the Crystal Skulls, which were thought to be unreal, however were discovered.
In total there are 13 Crystal Skulls, each of which represented powerful objects of symbolism of human history. These skulls are crystal in form, hence giving them the name Crystal Skull, and are also said to be 5,000 to 35,000 years old. Many archaeologists believed that the Crystal Skulls gave inhuman magical and healing powers, and as a result nobody believed they even existed. Others believed that the skulls gave the power to see in the past, present, and future. The 13 Crystal Skulls are mentioned and are sometimes referenced as religious representations in many religions including paganism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Islam, and Judaism.
In paganism, the 13 Crystal Skulls were believed to give the carrier of these skulls unimaginable and invaluable supernatural powers, no one could ever dream of having. Powers of healing, immortality, and other godly powers could be obtained through these skulls. However, the downside of these skulls is that uniting all 13 Crystal Skulls would lead to sheer world destruction. Many pagans believe the skulls are located in South America, Mexico, or even Atlantis, a theoretical world under the ocean. In Christianity, the 13 Crystal Skulls are representations of Jesus Christ and his 12 Disciples, a total of 13. Each crystal represented the characteristic traits of each of them. In Buddhism, the Crystal Skulls represent the need for balance of power in the world. If all 13 crystals were obtained, the world would end in destruction. In Hinduism, the skulls, alike the Sankara stones, represented eternal and everlasting peace. In Shintoism, the skulls represented Heaven and Earth and also the need for their preservation. In Islam and Judaism, the skulls were thought to be lost prophecies handed down before God to the various prophets in the early ages.
