as for gettting the lumber to burn, wouldnt timbers soaked in oil put off a much larger amount of heat?. also i dont think in the experiment they kept the inside stuffed with enough fresh wood.
I admit to be no expert, and even if I were, it would require more that 10minutes in a brief documentary to learn all the "known" facts... But it seems to me that burning wood is a highly ineffective way to fuse rocks together through melting.
My first thought seeing this, was that lightning would be much more effective, as spots where lightning has struck reveal just such glss structures (within the ground).
But then the next question: how to "attract" so much lightning... Copper maybe?
There have been other experiments that have had much more success than the one shown here. Given the right set of conditions it is apparently possible to fuse rocks using a wood fire.
Automatic fire is mentioned in the Bible (First Kings; Elijah creates fire from water on an alter of stone). Using naptha, sulphur and quicklime (all available in antiquity (and used by the Romans)) an exothermic reaction occurs when water is added. Temperatures over 500 degrees were achieved. Is this hot enough to vitrify rock? Check out demo on:
Ancient discoveries:The lost science of the Bible. 3/5.
A team of British and American researchers found that the British Museum skull and the Smithsonian specimen had been worked with an abrasive, namely the silicon-carbon compound carborundum which is a synthetic substance manufactured using modern industrial techniques. Since the synthesis of carborundum dates only to the 1890s and its wider availability to the 20th century, the researchers concluded "The suggestion is that it was made in the 1950s or later"
If only the new Indiana Jones was as cool as this video. Fucking Aliens. George Lucas is insane. He proably ate too much LSD25 during the Special Edition Rerelease.
what if at one point the crystal skulls were real human skulls??? food for thought

@SleeCee So true, plus this was Iron Age technology, so they had coal too! Stack some coal up against that sucker and get it burning and who knows!

Since whites are the perfect evolve race, why not easily explain the indigenous people artifacts. They can't even make a close duplicate - dumb a*.*

I think the skull was bought from Woolworths in the 1930's.

need about 1700C to vitrify rock, i think.
