Eugène Boban, born in Paris, embarked on a remarkable journey that took him from humble beginnings to the California Gold Rush and eventually earned him recognition as a pre-Columbian cultures authority. His remarkable achievements included inventing the Aztec crystal skull, a category of archaeological artifacts that would become highly sought after. However, his story took a surprising turn when he admitted to successfully "palming off" numerous crystal skulls on the curators of Europe's leading museums. This book delves into the details of Boban's travels, self-education, and archaeological explorations, shedding light on the circumstances that allowed him to perpetrate such a deception. It also examines the reasons why his fakes remained undetected for over a century, despite the advancements in technology and expertise in the field of archaeology.
