Skullduggery
"At Skullduggery our aim is to make this fossil history available to everyone"
said the curator of a very prestigious wax museum, built in nineteen forty one
all of our replicas are cast from original pieces obtained from other museums
such as the Paris crystal skull, which is hidden in Paris behind the mausoleum
it was used in the action movie " Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal skull"
I thought of my live Uncle Harrison Ford who is now seventy nine years old
how he dug for diamonds, dug for treasures and he always dug for gold
"the skull here as you can see, is a veritable nerdgasm, a craniophile beauty"
said the curator, as I thought of Georges Cuvier curator at Natural History
he studied Egyptian human skulls, owned a cabinet of skulls of aging glory
Some museums contain hominid skulls, replicas of apes and extinct ancestors
some own dry rattle bones from a distant era belonging to ancient dinosaurs
We at skulldugery aim to reproduce some of the finest looking skulls around
He took me into an old dusty cavern "shush" he whispers "don't make a sound"
"they are very sensitive to noise and they always know, when we're around .
