So what's the buzz on the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Here's a speculative look at some of its major questions — and some possible answers.
Are the Crystal Skulls alien artifacts?
Like the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Sankara
Stones in Temple of Doom, the skulls (there's likely more than one, despite the singular in the title) are the supernatural MacGuffins — the powerful thingies that everybody's chasing. (Some think the Ark will turn up again too.) From what little the filmmakers have spilled, the skulls sound otherworldly in origin, while fan speculation has it that those who covet them believe they grant psychic powers.
