| | The Whirling Mountain Of The Navajos |
 | | This Skull Mountain corresponds to the one formed by the skull of Dadhyanch in Hindu myths, and to that of Adam in Judeo-Christian mythology. | | | In Egyptian mythology, these Four Pillars are quaintly represented as the four members of Nut (the Sky Goddess) planted on the ground, and two in the Orient, two in the Occident, just as in the present case. | | | South American Indian mythology is presently far more complete than that of the North American Indians, for down here many tribes still survive in their pristine state, and have not yet been acculturated or eliminated by the missionaries and other white influences. |

| | This is due in part to a section at the end tying the 'theories' proposed by von Daniken, Hapgood and Velikovsky, and crystal skull mythology, into the Stargate mythology. | | | Instead, they learn that the crystal skull is a transport network built by the ancient race known as Furlings. | | | Then the builders of the crystal skull transport system arrive, and the prophecies of Quetzalcoatl and Mayan 'end of the world' scenarios come into full swing. |
