Legends of the Crystal Skulls fascinates some

People who enjoy the chronicles of Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) often wonder if the artifacts and adventures that Indy pursues are based on real life stories and findings.  A new DVD from the Smithsonian Institute examines the real legends of the crystal skulls featured in the just released on DVD Indiana Jones movie.

The Smithsonian documentary, Legend of the Crystal Skulls, takes a look at the mythical legend of 13 crystal skulls and the large subculture of people around the globe who believe these skulls have power of absolute knowledge.  Some have connected the skulls to the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012, believing this is when the skulls will reunite.

The documentary explores the subculture and also takes a close look at early 20th century archaelogist Mitchell Hedges, whom many people believe is the motivation for the Indiana Jones character.
