:''The present keeper of the crystal skull (Karin Tag) took the skull to many magic places in the world in order to connect the energies.

However, there never was a sarcophagus in the afore mentioned chamber. This chamber, often frequented by tourists, is completely empty still today. Another claim about the crystal skulls refers to their mysterious weight fluctuations. With the crystal skull owned by her, Tag claims to have „activated“ certain places on earth into power places. The Paris Eiffel Tower is to be reckoned among these activated „Energy Points on Earth“. Tag also claims she was given 13 „original ancient crystal tables“ from an „Atlantean crystal library for this era“, in order to enable humans „access to ancient wisdoms“. Since then, Tag also declares herself a „Carrier of the Sacred Crystal Tables“. According to her claims, she studies alleged archaeological and geological artefacts. In 2010, Tag was one of the lecturers at a so-called „Lichtkinderkonferenz" [Conference of Light Children].<ref>http://lichtkinderkonferenz.de/karin-tag.html</ref>

Tag also founded the so-called Council of World Elders (CoWE) which claims to „unite the best representatives of native peoples“. The aims of CoWE are e.g. the support of non-profit local and global projects and environmental protection, but also „preservation and establishing of new places of power and cultural monuments“ and organising a museum.

Besides Tag, members of CoWE are known „plastic shamans“ like e.g. Hunbatz Men – real life name: Carlos Mena Toto – who claims to be a Maya priest, and persons known for their activities in the Newage scene (e.g. Galsan Tschinag). Another member of the Council is [[Masaru Emoto]] who in no way belongs into the category of a „representative of indigenous peoples“. A lesser known member of the Council is or was [[Jorge Vizcarra|Jorge „Coco“ Vizcarra]] from Peru who has been living in Germany for some 20 years selling indigenous ceremonies like sweatlodges not practiced in South America, and who passes as a musician in different environments.<ref>http://www.neckargemuend-kleingemuend.de/2010/04/21/solidaritaetsveranstaltung-fuer-peru-im-alten-e-werk-neckargemuend/</ref> At this point in time (June 2013), Vizcarra is no longer mentioned as a member of the Council.<ref>http://www.council-of-world-elders.de/d-e-u-t-s-c-h/global-advisor/ accessed 01/06/2013</ref>

Another member and alleged indigenous elder in CoWE is Peruvian citizen Don Pedro Guerra Gonzales who is no member of any indigenous ethnic group, but, as a plastic shaman, administers [[Ayahuasca]] to his clientele in order to heal a multitude of diseases. Guerra regularly travels Europe to give lectures and seminars and promote his facilities in the vicinity of Iquitos, Peru where clients may book healing sojourns.<ref>http://www.don-pedro-guerra.net accessed  02/11/2012</ref>
