Last night Shia Labeouf broke the silence of Lucasfilm, to reveal the শিরোনাম for the new Indiana Jones movie....
'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'
But what does this mean for our favourite Archaeologist/Hero? What will he be up against? Where will he be going? Most importantly... what is the 'Crystal Skull'?
Well there are actually 13 crystal skulls, all thought to be (on average) around 20,000 years old. Investigations into one of the existing crystal skulls garnered startling revelations. The skull itself had its age proven, yet the workmanship of it defies the technology of the time (and almost the technology of our time). It has been seemlessly cut from one larger crystal, but the skull itself bears no markings from its cut, suggesting it was made using metal tools. However, with the cutting and subsequent work on detail, the man hours to produce just one would have been amounted to around 300 years!
It has been ব্যক্ত that each of the skull's possess magical powers and healing abilities... but where they came from appears to বিভক্ত করা opinion.
Some believe that the skulls were a gift from God to the people.
There is even a suggestion that they were created দ্বারা Aliens.
Most interestingly, it is also believed that they are the only remains left from the হারিয়ে গেছে civilisation of Atlantis, which was reputedly in contention to be Indy's object of desire for this movie. If they were to combine the skulls' mythology with Atlantis, it could prove fruitful for the movie to play on our understanding of Atlantis... and to have Indy on a quest to not only retrieve the skulls... but to prove the existence of Atlantis once and for all.
The legend of the crystal skulls has been investigated deeply দ্বারা Historians and Antropologists. Their investigations came across an ancient Indian Legend that there was 13 crystal skulls, of the Goddess of Death, and that these had been kept separate for a very good reason... but why? The fact that the skulls have been specifically kept apart suggests they possess a great power when combined (like the Power Rangers), but that is the পরবর্তি mystery... what is that power/purpose of the skulls?
The theories vary, but are outlined below;
The skull's contain a history of Mankind, and in that sense are like the computers of the ancient world.
They are powerful healing tools.
Others believe that they can be used to look into the past, present and future ( there is a documented case of a known Archaeologist's daughter having detailed dreams of the past when sleeping near a crystal skull).
This is just the tip of a fascinating archaeological find, and with such deep mythology/history to play with, I think we're in for a great movie.

Nobody knows what the actual শিরোনাম is going to be yet but let's just say that this movie is probably going to be very awesome! After Harrisson Ford, we've read about A LOT of rumours about who would be the পরবর্তি Indiana Jones. So far, I've heard rumours about ডিজনি casting Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy and The Lego Movie) may be cast as everyone's favourite archaeologist and I've also heard shocking rumours about Indie possibly being played দ্বারা a woman! For the movie Jonathan Kasdan is taking over the role of writer from David Koepp. This is the movie that all Indiana Jones fans- new and old- have been waiting for! the exact তারিখ for release অথবা the actual শিরোনাম of the movie hasn't been released yet so until then, there's nothing আরো that I can say other than that it's going to be a great movie!
