Are there any actual legends of the crystal skulls from ancient times. All of the sites I'm looking at all say "according to legend." What legend?

For example, the conquest of the Aztecs contains stories of Europeans making treaties, demanding tributes and allying with some native factions. The Spanish and the Aztecs spoke completely different language with no prior contact. How could communication be established?

In Call of Duty 4: modern Warfare, two of the missions are set in Pripyat in 1996. The missions are "All Ghillied Up" and "One Shot, One Kill". I had assumed that the level designers had taken a large amount of liberty with the leve;s, but the recent footage from the drone sent into Pripyat makes me think it was more accurate than I had assumed. Do we have any maps, comparisons or living accounts of how accurate the levels are compared to real Pripyat?

I am studying the economic history of India (or South Asia) in my free time, and have found that Indian history is poorly documented when compared to British history, at the same time.
What are the conditions/events that led the British to meticulously document their times?
Please point me toward readings and books for non-historians.

I would also greatly appreciate any explanation of the firing mechanism for the device as well, as any depictions I have found fail to show it 'in action'. Does it spin 360°, or rotate only prior to firing?

Found them in the attic. No one in my family served, so its a mystery. Can any one tell me what they are? Too small for photographs, so more like trading cards perhaps?

The Lodovisi Sarcophagus seems like the peak of Roman sculpture. But are the styles of Roman armour and weapons accurate for the time?
