The man who invented Aztec crystal skulls: the adventures of Eugáene Boban
2018
Overview
EugÞne Boban began life in humble circumstances in Paris, travelled to the California Gold Rush, and later became a recognized authority on pre-Columbian cultures. He also invented an entire category of archaeological artifact: the Aztec crystal skull. By his own admission, he successfully 'palmed off' a number of these crystal skulls on the curators of Europe's leading museums. How could that happen, and who was this man? Detailed are the travels, self-education, and archaeological explorations of EugÞne Boban; this book also explores the circumstances that allowed him to sell fakes to museums that would remain undetected for over a century.
