Crystal Skull Explorers » Blog Archive » MAX, the Crystal Skull

Keeper: JoAnn Parks, Houston, TX, July, 1995

The largest ancient crystal skull at the present time is known as “Max”, the Texas Crystal Skull. I had my first opportunity to see “Max” in February, 1988, when it was on display at the Whole Life Expo in Los Angeles. Since that time, “Max” and his keeper, JoAnn Parks, have traveled all over the United States, providing others an opportunity to experience this ancient artifact. Recently, Mrs. Parks and “Max” came to visit our home town of Chicago, and was very well received. Mrs. Parks told me during our phone conversation that she is receiving many invitations to bring “Max” to various cities throughout the country. In addition, while she was recently in Miami, doing a presentation at a local museum, some professional technicians took a holographic image of “Max”, which should be available to the public at some future time. Mrs. Parks is also working on a new book that will share more information about the history of “Max”, what type of experiences people have had in the presence of “Max” and research that has been performed upon this crystal skull. We strongly recommend to our readers, if you have an opportunity to experience “Max”, you don’t want to miss out.

If a person wishes to contact Mrs. Parks, to find out the schedule of events related to “MAX” and in which cities he will be available to be seen and experienced, she can be contacted at: The Texas Crystal Skull, Attn: JoAnn Parks, P.O. Box 751261, Houston, TX 77275-1261; (713)991-4545

One of the people who had an opportunity to spend time with “Max” while he was in Chicago is Debbie Smoker. Debbie is a contributing writer for New Avenues, a local New Age journal published bi-monthly for the Southern Wisconsin area. Debbie had an opportunity to interview Mrs. Parks to discuss how she came in contact with “Max” and what has happened to Mrs. Parks since that time. We have been granted permission to re-print Debbie’s article to share with our readers.

Enjoy and discover the mysteries surrounding “Max” – Joshua email: crystalskullexplorers@gmail.com

Believed to be between 5,000 and 36,000 years old, Max is known to be one of the 13 ancient crystal skulls of the world. Interestingly, they were all found in Central America and Mexico. Much research is currently being done on the skulls. However, their origin is still a baffling mystery. They seem to defy logic. Everything that is known about lapidary work indicates that the skulls should have been shattered fractured, or fallen apart when carved.
