- "The priest pulls out another skull, crystal, and holds it high. The relic! I hear its hum in my own skull. Faint, but familiar!"
- ―Giovanni Borgia's thoughts upon first sighting one of the Crystal Skulls.[src]
The Crystal Skulls are Pieces of Eden created by Those Who Came Before. They were scattered throughout Central America, and South America, mainly coming into the possession of Aztec, Maya and Inca Civilizations.
In 1520, one Skull was located by Giovanni Borgia, an Assassin who had been sent to become a member of Hernán Cortés' crew in order to search for Pieces of Eden. He managed to intercept one from an Aztec priest in Tenochtitlan, where it was being used as part of a human sacrifice ritual. Upon returning to Europe, he took it to Bombastus, who was an expert in studying the Pieces of Eden.
In 1542, an unknown Chinese man, who had apparently acquired a Skull, used the its communicative powers to contact Giovanni.[1]
As of the year 2012, a number of the Skulls had come into the possession of Abstergo Industries; Alan Rikkin noted in an email to Warren Vidic that the "Mitchell-Hedges Communicators" worked, but were few in number. The Templars planned to use them as a means of communication that the modern-day Assassins would be unable to trace. Vidic was in possession of one of the Skulls.[2]
