I'm looking forward to this as well.

Odd-have not seen that in the trailer.

Actually it is based on an actual crystal skull- which is supposed to be amazing in that it was carved and did not crack the crystal- supposedly a mythic feat. (per an article in Entertainment Weely- will find the exact quote later)

It's in a museum somewhere.

And it's a fake. At least in regards to it (or any other large crystal skull) being from the pre-Colombian era.

Well, wether they are thousands of years old, or hundreds, they are still pretty amazing that they were able to make them.

I saw a peice on the history channel mentioning that there were about 6 of them known around the world.

Anyone want to make guesses about how much Indy 4 is going to make on its opening weekend?
Although this may get confusing because it opens on a Thursday. Not sure how they calculate it then...

I'm guessing $115 mil.
