she might be an alien. how come they had hi-tech knowledge in the ancient time? If they had, how come they were vanished on the map?

The Daily Mail has pictures of the skull and the golden eyeball on its website - it's a shame you don't.

There's a few pictures at:

Clearly nothing whatsoever to do with Cyclops ...

I understand that the Cyclops legend was derived from bones of elephants -- a very large skull with a hole in the middle. This left the mideval people who found them to wonder if it was a giant with one eye in the middle of its head.

It is interesting to note that according to the Bible with the world being only 6,000 years old someone jumped into soothsaying sin really quick. We all know only God can tell the furture, demons can share the information with a human host to appear as one with godly powers and sometimes be correct just to make it seem real. I believe there may have been an eye infection and it was used as a covering to shield the real eye from sun and dirt.

April 1st already, is it ? You coulda fooled me....

Creepy. No pictures needed :P thanx... I would like a map to show the location of where it was discovered, and to which people it can be acredited to. ^_^

jd, it was spherical, it would not make sence for it to protrude from the center of her forehead -.-"

a.m. low, cyclops legends stemmed from men happening across the large, unrecognizable skulls of elephants. They were gigantic and feirce looking, with but just one large gaping hole where the eye should be.

My grandfather's artificial eye may not have been golden, but he would dazzle us nonetheless when he'd take it out at the dinner table, dip it in his bourbon, and suck on it as he stared off into space.

I would love to see a picture of this find. The people who discover these things NEED to post pictures as well as the stories. It's a great story, however.

Lucy Sommer, Albuquerque, NM USA

I agree with the last comment. Pictures would be very nice.

Pictures Pictures please!!!!!!
What an interesting story to share with my students!

It would make more sense that is was attached as a third eye above her nose and between her eyes.

Maybe she won it playing backgammon with Peter Falk.

It WOULD be wonderful to see a picture of this find. Why don't the writers/explorers/discoverers of these amazing things ever post pictures on their announcement articles? We'd all LOVE to see what you are describing here.
Thanks, however, for what you have done.

AYE, AYE, quite an interesting find. I wonder if this was the base for the CYCLOPS legend. What does others think.

When I saw the title,my mind thought of the eye on the U.S. dollar. Shows that even 5,000 years ago religion and governments was playing mind games with the masses. I bet Madonna would pay a gold ransom for that everseeing mystic eye.... P.S. The more things change,the more they stay the same.

This story reminds me of the glass eye that my wife had. It seems someone had visited their home in California and went away without it and never came back for it. When one of our sons was in High School he took it and cut it down and mounted it in a ring. Kind of an odd looking stone when you saw it. Even odder if you realized what it was. Maybe this was one of those. Easy come, easy go. Not too far fetched to think of it. Going from the UK to the US, from the west coast to the mountains of Utah. Her dad, by the way, had only one eye himself. This one wasn't his though.

Having a computer-generated depiction of this find would be much more intriguing than it is in words--people want to SEE IT now.

Indy Plume, st. louis,

Two or three of my friends were talking, some 60 years or so ago, and the subject turned to Glass Eyes as we had just seen a Glass Eye Manufacturer's premises in Nottingham. Trying to go one better, as we were trying to remember anyone we knew with a glass eye, one of the boys remarked "Yes, my Uncle Bill has a glass eye, in fact he wears TWO!"
