本节目探索最新一集印第安那琼斯电影《水晶骷髅王国》故事内容的背後真相。虽然电影中描述水晶骷髅是由外星人打造，但片中内容不尽然是虚构。水晶骷髅确实存在，伦敦、华盛顿和巴黎的博物馆中各有一个。但最著名的水晶骷髅 ─ 「厄运骷髅」，则是神奇寻宝传说的主角。本集节目追随探险家佛德列克米歇尔贺吉斯，以及他的养女安娜的脚步，揭露他们在1920年代，於一座马雅神殿发现厄运骷髅的经过。但厄运骷髅与全球各大博物馆收藏的水晶骷髅，真的是马雅文化或阿兹特克文化的神圣文物吗？或者这是考古学史上最大的骗局？可靠的新科学检验方法将查明真相。
'Legend of the Crystal Skulls' explores the truth behind the real life icon inspiring the latest Indiana Jones movie, 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls'. Whilst the movie features a crystal skull created by extra terrestrials, not everything is fiction. Real crystal skulls do exist. Museums in London, Washington and Paris each have one. But the most famous skull of them all, 'The Skull of Doom', is the subject of an incredible treasure tale. This documentary traces the buccaneering explorer called Frederick Mitchell-Hedges, and his adopted daughter, Anna, and reveals their story of discovering the Skull of Doom in a Mayan temple in the 1920s. But is this skull and others owned by the world's great museums truly sacred Mayan or Aztec artefacts, or one of archaeology's greatest frauds? Definitive new scientific tests will unravel the truth.
