In 1532, after Atahualpa was captured during the Battle of Cajamarca, Hernando de Soto had Atahualpa executed after hearing of the skull. The Incan emperor Atahualpa found it in a temple of a high priest who lived so long that his fellow priests had poisoned him, not understanding how he could live so long, and also out of jealousy. The people who come to own it sometimes hear its voice in their head speaking in an unfamiliar language, thus giving it its name. As such, it has been documented to be only passed on through murder. One skull in particular, called The Whisperer, was supposed to give its owner immortality. It is said the skulls have individual powers that their owners can pick up from them, and that when all of the skulls are placed in a circle with one in the center, they will come back to life and reveal what they know about the rest of the universe.

There are many theories as to how the crystal skulls came to be, such as the Annunaki having left them. They date back to thousands of years before tools to create such skulls were invented.

Legend of the Crystal Skull The crystal skulls are 13 perfectly shaped humanoid skulls made out of crystal rather than carbon.
