Yeah its E and his mom.

Cos I thought that members of an army wore a uniform but then again, maybe she was off duty at the time or in the "Resistance."

The Mitchell-Hedges skull, perhaps the most famous and enigmatic crystal skull, was allegedly discovered in 1924 by Anna Le Guillon Mitchell-Hedges.

Anna Hedges, daughter of British adventurer and popularist author F.A. Mitchell-Hedges, claimed that she found the skull buried under a collapsed altar inside a temple in Lubaantun, in British Honduras, now Belize; however, others present at the time of the excavation have not been documented as noting either the skull’s discovery or Anna’s presence at the dig.

Anna stated that she was told by the few remaining Maya that the skull was used by the high priest to will death. When a priest became too old to continue with his duties, he and his replacement would lie in front of the altar with the skull. After a ceremony, all of the elderly priest’s knowledge would be transferred into the younger man, then, the old priest would die. For this reason, the artifact is sometimes referred to as “The Skull of Doom”, a claim that was backed up by her father.

Anna Mitchell-Hedges refused many requests to submit the skull for further scientific testing, and thus, the puzzle of where the skull came from remains.

Yeah I'm quite au fait with the IRA ... The comment was made with tongue in cheek. If it made depressing reading or came across as overly flippant ... then I apologise. I am usually not a facitious person.

I've never seen such an old photo of Elvis. His parents look so young, I never would have thought this was a pic of the Presleys.

After magnifying this pic & staring at it, I do see Elvis!
