When castmember Shia LaBeouf announced the official title of the next Indy installment as "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," a collective "whaaaa?" was muttered into the atmosphere. It's not that we didn't like it, but what does it mean? Since that's a pretty universal question by now, we decided to hit up one of the few who may actually be able to shed some historical light on the matter: Harvard lecturer Dr. Marc Zender.
During our conversation, Zender revealed the New Age and Mayan theories behind the concept of crystal skulls and how they're believed by some to be instruments of worldly destruction, and by others to be vehicles for "harmonic convergence." Yes, we also touch on the possible extraterrestrial implications.
