I don't think it's real. I'd like to see an inventory of what the jewelry was made from. There is wood and cloth that show no signs of age or decay, rings are clear up on the knuckles, not where a ring would be worn. Cloth in the eye sockets of the first skull, not stained, looks new, and we are supposed to believe the eyes decayed out of the sockets. Nope, I don't think it's real.

Cool! Looks like Catholics won't have to put money in the collection plate for the next 500 years. ;-)

WOW!! That looks crazy!! But, like the others say... TOO CLEAN... It wouldn't be so bright and shiny...no dust anywhere...
I sure would hate to do all that work and just put it in the ground...
I know some kings and others are decorated well at death... but... these are just look like someone was having a lot of fun decorating for the day of the dead...
Nowadays, everything can be made fake. Terrible truth...

It is real. I read a story about these skeletons. I think it was in National Geographic.
