Inaccuracies and Inconsistencies in Crystal Skulls and Magnetic Artifacts

The movie features inaccuracies and inconsistencies, such as the use of gunpowder and lead pellets to detect intensely magnetic areas, even though gunpowder and lead are not magnetic. The concept that interdimensional beings have magnetic skeletons and collect metal artifacts is also implausible. Furthermore, the portrayal of the crystal skulls is not accurate to their real-life counterparts, which were modern creations crafted from Brazilian quartz in Germany.
