Was Indy right about the Crystal Skulls?

According to Jane Walsh, the movie isn't even close. Although there are such as thing as crystal skulls from Mexico very little about them is alien or even that old. While crystal skulls have been popping up since the 19th century all of them lack provenance and remain a mystery. According to Jane Walsh,however, the crystal skulls popularity can be traced back to one man, Eugene Boban. Boban was a French antiquarian with a specific interest in Meso-American art. Walsh claims that it was he who started the crystal skull fad by having crystal skulls made in Mexico so that he could sell them, along with other looted artifacts in the world's cultural centers of London and Paris. For a long time, up to 60 years, these skulls were thought to be genuine. It was not until the stone work was inspected more closely by microscope that it was discovered that it was impossible for these skulls to be real, the tool marks indicated modern methods were used to create the skulls. Although most museums, like the British Museum, still display the skulls as forgeries some places in Mexico and South American try to pass the skulls off as genuine. The reason for this deception is that the skulls draw a crowd for the museum. I find it kind of sad that a museum, an institution that is supposed to be about the spread of knowledge, continues to lie to its patrons about the history of its artifacts and by extension the people it represents. The article that I read this on is only from 2008, so it is highly likely that the museums in question are still showing off the skulls and perhaps might be trying to ride on some of the Indian Jones hype to get a few more visitors.
