Well sir, it's one of 13 crystal skulls, and the other 12 are in that chamber. When the set is complete, amazing events take place.

It also represents one-thirteenth of all knowledge about everything, leading Irina to utter the orgasmic words, "I want...to know!"

Ironically, her desire for knowledge proved her undoing when the crystal skull entity grants her desire to know everything, and an alien figure emerges and indicates that Spalko is too dangerous to remain alive. Her mind overloads and she disintegrates and her ashes scatter into the portal along with her felons. 041b061a72
