Sinopsis

“Crystal Skulls” tackles the enduring mystery of these captivating objects, investigating whether they are ancient Mesoamerican relics or more recent creations. The book uniquely combines scientific materials analysis with historical research to challenge popular beliefs about the skulls' origins. For instance, electron microscopy reveals tool marks inconsistent with pre-Columbian technology, and crystallographic studies compare the skulls' structures with known quartz sources. 

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with an overview of the history and associated myths of crystal skulls. It then delves into the scientific techniques used to analyze the skulls, followed by an examination of historical documentation. This approach reveals the likely origins of the skulls to be 19th-century European workshops, reframing them within the context of art history and commercial trade rather than ancient civilizations. The investigation also sheds light on the history of art collecting and the relationship between indigenous communities and European markets.

Carlist Wars The: The History...

Editors Charles River

Thinking of Spain as a modern nation state today distorts the complicated reality that the Iberian Peninsula faced in the past. Spain was a nation in progress, consisting of regions united under the Spanish crown, but with strong regional identities based on different historical and cultural experiences. The largest entities were the kingdoms of León and Castile, but Spain also included the kingdoms of Navarre, Andalusia, Granada, Jaén, Aragon, and Valencia. There were also the principalities of Asturias and Catalonia, the lordship of Vizcaya, and both Guipúzcoa and Alava were “exempted provinces.” Navarre, Aragon, and Catalonia had separate Cortes, which were versions of parliaments (Parker 18-19). This complex system of entities granted privilege to local power structures over the concept of a unified nation and made administration difficult, because there were few standards that applied to all of Spain. Many of the regions had special laws that respected and allowed traditional institutions, administrative patterns, and cultural patterns. These local and regional rights were called fueros and were fiercely defended against centralization. The fueros originated as rights agreed to when the regions joined the Spanish crown. Before becoming king, the king-designate had to swear to maintain and respect the fueros. This meant that the rights of the king were to a considerable extent limited.
Inevitably, liberals and centralizing monarchs alike tried to change the situation over the years, which produced political tensions. The Carlists promised to maintain the older system, which is why they were so firmly backed in the Basque regions by most of the peasants and nobility. The Carlist claimants were strong Catholics and were strongly supported by the Church, and thus by the more fervently Catholic portions of the population.
