托福阅读：玛雅预言 地球真的要完了么 2012倒计时！（3）

　　Why would the ancients fashion such a computer into the form of a skull? Not because the skull represents death, but because we could recognize that the skull is the vessel that contains consciousness, wisdom, knowledge and thought. Could it be possible that the crystal skulls may contain clues that the ancients left for us to guide us through these times? If so, then it is now up to us to find a way to retrieve the data contained within them. If, indeed, we have to decipher some kind of code for humanity's survival, we have 3 years to figure it out.

　　Many believe that the re-emergence of the crystal skulls is linked with the Mayan Prophecies. Legends regarding 13 crystal skulls are shared by indigenous cultures around the world, from the Mayans, to the Navajo, to the Tibetans. These crystal skulls are purported to assist humanity in the transitional times to come leading up to December 21, 2012. With the countdown under way, perhaps the key to our survival is to open our mind.
