The Zapotecas were the second oldest civilization in Mesoamerica. Only the Olmecs were older. Even the Mayas flourished later in what is known as the Classic Period.

The Zapotecas left evidence at the ancient city of Monte Alban in the form of buildings, ball courts, magnificent tombs and grave goods including finely worked gold jewelry. Monte Alban was one of the first major cities in Mesoamerica and the center of a Zapotec state that dominated much of what we know today as the current state of Oaxaca.

Pancho was carved from one piece of clear quartz crystal. Quartz crystal can be found all over the world and the crystal that was used to create Pancho is probably millions of years old.

He stands about 6.5″ tall and weighs about 15 pounds. Pancho is hollow. Most of the other ancient crystal skulls have human characteristics. Pancho does not.

The most interesting distinction is the fact that Pancho has two rows of teeth with 9 teeth in each row. His head is horizontally flat in the back and he has an elongated looking jaw. Some of the dirt that was on him and inside of him when he was found in the ground still clings on to Pancho.

Who carved Pancho and how was he carved? The answer to these questions remains a mystery. Modern scientists claim that the Pre-Hispanic peoples of Mesoamerica did not have the tools or the technology to carve Pancho and the other crystal skulls so smoothly.

Without modern tools, it would have taken more than 300 years hand polishing the crystal day in and day out without rest to create such a smooth specimen. Could perhaps a more advanced civilization have brought Pancho to Monte Alban? Or did a more advanced culture bring the peoples of this area the tools to create Pancho and the other crystal skulls?

It is widely accepted in the metaphysical and spiritual community that the land of the Maya was a safe place for the survivors of Atlantis after the destruction of that continent.

The Atlanteans had learned to harness crystal energy and used it as part of their culture. Did the Atlanteans or even the Lemurians bring this technology or even the crystal skulls themselves to Mexico and Central America?

Some crystal skull researchers and experts even believe that Pancho and some of the other ancient crystal skulls could have come from outer space or from another dimension. This might explain Pancho’s strange appearance.

It is very possible that these extraterrestrials placed the crystal skulls strategically in earth grids or landlines to activate the planet. These crystalline grids could perhaps navigate future visits by these aliens to our planet much like crop circles do today.

Assuming that our ancestors carved and created Pancho and the other ancient crystal skulls the question still remains: what was their purpose? Did our ancestors download information into the crystal that perhaps someday would be retrieved by future generations? Our ancestors were wise and knowledgeable.

They built the Great Pyramids, Stonehenge, Macchu Picchu, and the statues on Easter Island. The Maya were able to calculate solar calendars, lunar calendars and even a calendar for the planet Venus. The Egyptians and the Sumerians were advanced in mathematics and understood the codes of the universe. The ancients also figured out that crystal could hold and store information. Much like our modern computers that utilize microchips to store information the ancients utilized the same technology.

They created their computers in the shape of a skull because they knew that the skull was a vessel for thought, knowledge, wisdom, and life. But how could the information be uploaded and downloaded? Twenty years ago the thought of connecting to the worldwide web wireless was impossible. Today, the idea that we can turn on and turn off our computers with our minds is not that far fetched.

Perhaps in a couple of years, we might even be able to connect to the Internet psychically, too. Did the ancients know this? Were they able to connect to the information in the crystal skulls through thought? This is the explanation for why Pancho and the rest of the ancient skulls were created.

It is very possible that Pancho and the other skulls are a web of knowledge and information much like our present Internet. Our ancestors knew that one day a future generation would be in desperate need of their ancient wisdom. Ancient Wisdom for a New Generation.
