At least they left the glass dragon.

submitter: "I have no idea why someone would take that and not the other things that are equally valuable on the altar"

Would they make an equally AWESOME bong??

/yeah...didn't think so

Four or five hundred years old?

I doubt it. Made of resin in some medical lab, circa 1997, more likely. Something transparent - like lucite.

Of course, according to crystal skull aficionados, it takes 300 years of human labor to make one.

"I have no idea why someone would take that and not the other things that are equally valuable on the altar."

What, like a couple of sticks of incense?

Seriously, I'm not sure what of value there is to steal in a New Age bookstore ...

Fortunes.

Shouldn't the Tarot cards or tea leaves or some other silly crap have revealed that this was going to happen?

Was an equal weight of sand left in its place?

Me likes it better.

Spiritual New Age mumbo-jumbo is just as ridiculous as religious nonsense.

It belongs in a museum.

Just sounds like someones found the missing ones and has gone about collecting the ones in the hands of the unworthy.

Soon they will be all reunited and blah blah blah...

I hate farken pagans.

Sounds like someone needs to work on their protection spells.

"We have zero shoplifting in here"

Wrong.

"The legend surrounding the largest of the crystal skulls is that they were produced by people from Atlantis and buried in Central and South America before the collapse of Atlantis, Marr said.

If all are collected, the skulls - believed to number about a dozen - will reveal a seemingly infinite amount of information, Marr said. "

Oh for farks sake.

I_Hate_Iowa: Spiritual New Age mumbo-jumbo is just as ridiculous as religious nonsense.

I don't see spiritual new age mumbo jumbo being crammed down our throats or wars waged in the name of who can meditate longer.

Ridiculous? If you want. Dangerously ridiculous like Islam or Christianity? No.

FTFA: "If all are collected, the skulls - believed to number about a dozen - will reveal a seemingly infinite amount of information, Marr said."

That's quite a compression algorithm.

Religion is just a foil for class warfare from the top down.

Sad, no matter who it belonged to. Stealing from anyone is wrong. And yeah, by matter of coincidence I found $200 today on the ground and got it to its rightful owner. Stealing = sucking
College fraternity shiatheads stealing = FCUCKING total sucking

"We have zero shoplifting in here, and I have no idea why anyone would take something as lovely as that," said Persis Newland, the shop's owner.

a) they described it as lovely, therefore someone else may share that opinion

b) it would probably look pretty cool.

c) or, they misplaced it whilst under the 'spell of deception'. insert eyeroll here.

d) it escaped 'free willy' style to be with the other crystal skulls, because if they believe it has healing powers it can clearly fly too.

All of these skulls are of recent (i.e. post-Spanish contact) origin. Yes, they're pretty and look cool, but anyone who argues that they have some sort of connection to the Aztec/Maya underworld is either an idiot or is trying to sell you something.

yes and no. All wars are monetary in some way. And religious in some way. and for any other reason too.

$ = power = religion = land = politics etc

Of course, according to crystal skull aficionados, it takes 300 years of human labor to make one.

If that's the actual skull, it's farking hideous.

Newland, the store owner, thinks the attention the skulls have received as a result of the film may have prompted the theft.

No....Do You Farking Think So

panzerfaustbob -
Shouldn't the Tarot cards or tea leaves or some other silly crap have revealed that this was going to happen?

Must be a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy.

Am I the only one here that's disturbed by the person referring to the skull as a male? "He likes to read his paper by the fire, yes he does ... "

which is interesting, because

"Marr said he purchased the skull at a convention in Anaheim seven years ago for about $500. According to Marr, the same crystal reader told him the skull had healing powers."

Methinks someone got ripped off at the Star Trek convention...

I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothin',

Point of notice: There is a new 50 Cent video game coming out centered around the retrieval of his crystal skull. Seriously, do a google search for "50 Cent: Blood on the Sand".

The legend surrounding the largest of the crystal skulls is that they were produced by people from Atlantis and buried in Central and South America before the collapse of Atlantis, Marr said.

The truth surrounding crystal skulls is that they were produced in Europe with rotary power tools in the late 1800s and sold by the unethical to the uneducated, usually tourists and adventurers, who wanted something "unique" to take back to Europe.

idk, I think Pol Pot had a pretty cool skull collection (though none made of crystal) for a non-religious sort of warmonger...
