 		Looks like there's a new message at the bottom of Chapter II:

Quote:

Congratulations, to the Keys and the Chosen few. Once again you have laid the ground work for the prophecy to proceed one step further. All who have joined in this, have now embarked on a journey that was planned thousands of years before each was born. For two of the Keys now know there destiny. Two others still lay dormant. Lead on for each step brings new promise for the future of mankind.

 		well based on 2/4 Chosen ones, and 2/13 Skulls found so far, we're a little under a quarter of the way through this one. I wonder when the next bit will show up...

 		update to Aden's blog:

Quote:
Here is some of what I have found.

I have been searching the Internet all night. Every since yesterday I have become infatuated with these skulls. I told you guys I would help you out, so I needed to find out as much as I could about these skulls. I have found a lot of information on these things. Most of the stuff out there has been pure speculation. But, I believe since these things are contacting us there has to be more truth to it than people believe. My father always said "Every legend, every tall tail, has truth in its origins."

So I have compiled some of the information for you guys. Most of you probably know all of this already. But since, I had no clue I will put post this stuff just in case.

There are variations of a legend , alive in the oral tradition, which talks about a group of thirteen skulls, sometimes referred to as The 13 Grandmothers. For example, in 'The Legend of the Singing Skulls' twelve magical worlds are described, all of which contain humanoid life. These are planets within various star systems, such as Sirius, the Pleiades, etc. These races were invited by Mother Earth to walk upon her. Each race brought a carved Crystal Skull. All of these skulls can access the other and replay information in the form of holographic images. The Twelve formed a circle, which they called 'The Ark'. In the center was the 13th skull.

The Atlanteans had science and spirituality/metaphysics perfectly balanced. So, what they knew and how they created the crystal skulls for whatever purpose is very hard to understand nowadays. Crystals are stones that are able to store information and can be programmed for whatever purpose based on the specific properties that it holds. Especially with Quartz, it is able to amplify the energy of other crystals, its known as the stone of truth or/and clarity.

The legend says that there were originally thirteen (13) life-size human skulls of solid crystal with movable jaws that were said to speak and sing. The significance of the number thirteen is that including the Sun, the Moon, and the ten planets in our solar system adds up to the number 12. The last one stands for Quetzalcoatl, the serpent god, who will return again to rule all the planets. The Mayan year was made up of 13 months of 20 days. There are thirteen Mayan gods of the upper world.

The Seneca Legend describes how Atlantis was destroyed due to an abuse of the powers of the quartz crystals. In the book, Other Council Fires Were Here Before Ours by Seneca Grandmother, elder Twylah Nitsch, she tells us that Atlantis was originally part of the continent "Turtle Island." All the countries of the world were joined until the Continental Drift slowly separated them. This process took millions/billions of years. When a meteor hit earth, it is thought that Atlantis sank into the Atlantic Ocean.

When the Spanish came they heard of the "Legend of the Skulls" and some of these skulls may have been found and placed in European museums and private collections. When the Native Americans heard of their plan to grab their sacred skulls, skulls were sent to various parts of their world, so their powers could not again be abused.

Many people think that the crystal skulls were brought here by extra-terrestrials, and that is why many cultures such as the Mayans, Aztecs, Zapotecs, and Mixtecs all studied the stars. The Cherokee legend confirms this idea.

 		strange gaps in that first paragraph on the blog - the rest seems OK>

Found the site where that paragraph was taken from (which I think was posted previously: http://www.angelvalley.org/gathering_crystalskulls.html) no strange gaps there... Neverming Aden's reply indicates it's nothing

 		It's only been a day since the last blog entry, so I think it's still way too early to say it's imploded. Based on the pace so far I would have expected something by now though...

 		Well... We had about a one-or-two day lull after putting Onixskull in his place, didn't we? It's just the post-skull-lull, that's all (I hope). I don't think the PMs would have done such rapid release if they didn't have their material together ahead of time--they would've spread it out so they could use that time to make more material.

However, a few more days and I'd say it's implosion.

 		I suppose that means that it's all Missy for clues, then? B/c Chosen 3's deaf, and Aden's useless... XD
