In 1927, British archaeologists Mixin Haido Jido and his son Anna conducted a survey at the ancient ruins of Loba Antomo, near the city of Hatori in England, where they discovered a glass human skull weighing approximately 5 kg. This glass skull was crafted to resemble a human head. The nose was assembled from three glass plates, the eye sockets contained round glass pieces, and the teeth were neatly attached to the jawbone.
The book “My Dangerous Path” published in 1954 states that this glass human skull was created over 3,600 years ago: According to assessments by archaeologists, it took 150 years to craft this glass skull. After being carved, it was polished with sand. Before being excavated, it had been buried underground for at least 3,600 years.
Some other archaeologists disagree with this reasoning. They argue that ancient people living 3,600 years ago were limited by the scientific and technological conditions of their time, which were very rudimentary, making it impossible for them to create such an intricate glass skull.
The Musée de l’Homme in France also houses a glass human skull. According to research conducted by some French scientists, this glass skull has been scientifically determined to have been made by the Aztecs, specifically the Indigenous people of Mexico, during the 14th or 15th century. Analyzing it from a historical and religious perspective, it could be a ceremonial object used by an Aztec priest or an Indigenous offering. Near the site where the glass skull was found, many small but finely crafted bronze tools were also discovered. It appears that the glass skull was likely crafted by the Aztecs using bronze tools.

Some scholars support this viewpoint, suggesting that by the 14th and 15th centuries, the Aztecs had achieved a relatively high level of development. They were capable of creating ceramics characterized by brown and black patterns, with aesthetically pleasing shapes and intricate, varied designs, evolving from geometric patterns to realistic depictions of flora, fauna, and insects. They also knew how to use native copper to forge tools, incorporating feathers to create decorative items. In 1978, during an archaeological excavation in Mexico, a sculpted stone weighing about 10 tons and measuring 11 feet in diameter, known as the “Moon Stone“, was discovered. This stone was crafted by the Aztecs around 1470. From this evidence, it can be demonstrated that the Aztecs had advanced scientific and technical skills, and they believed in an immortal soul, adhering to polytheism (worshiping the Sun God, Moon God, Rain God, etc.). During their rituals, they used living humans as sacrifices. This glass human skull may have been one of the items they used for these sacrificial activities.
However, some scholars express skepticism and even reject this viewpoint. They argue that during the 14th and 15th centuries, the tools and weapons of the Aztecs were still primarily made of stone and wood. At that time, they were in a tribal alliance period, transitioning from primitive society to the early stages of slave society, lacking advanced sculpting techniques, making it very difficult to carve such a lifelike glass skull.
The British Museum also possesses a glass human skull. In darkness without any light, the skull emits a blinding white glow, resembling a terrifying visage of a grinning demon. This glass skull was purchased from the Tiphanni jewelry store in New York in 1898. According to the store owner, it was sold to the shop by a soldier at the end of the 18th century. Some archaeologists believe it is a product of the Adode people (Latin America), crafted during the colonial period. However, this remains merely a hypothesis and not a consensus conclusion among archaeologists.
To date, all three glass human skulls remain shrouded in mystery, with no clear information on who crafted them, when they were made, or their purpose and significance. The world is still waiting for archaeologists to provide satisfactory answers.
