Megalithomania is now less than one month away. Unfortunately Aubrey Burl has had to pull out for personal reasons, so we apologise if you were coming to see him.
However, this has given us the space to invite Paul Devereux to give us a second talk on the Saturday about his new research on Sacred Geography. It will be a preview of his major new book that is being published this Summer looking at several varieties of magical megalithic mindscapes of the past. He will show how older civilisations invested their landscapes with religious, mythological, and magical meaning. He will take us from Native American desert markings to Buddhist sacred soundscapes, from Egyptian living landscapes to oriental gardens, and much else besides, raising the question, “Can we draw environmental wisdom today from the ancient idea of sacred geography?” This presentation will be in celebration of his forthcoming book. For more info on Paul Devereux's two talks see http://www.megalithomania.co.uk/speakersnew.html
Robert Bauval, best-selling author of 'The Orion Mystery' and 'The Secret Chamber', will be doing a keynote presentation about his new research on Saturday evening at Megalithomania, at the Assembly Rooms, Glastonbury on May 8th. Bauval has collaborated on books with Graham Hancock and Adrian Gilbert and has a new book entitled 'Black Genesis' which is due to be released in July. At Megalithomania, Bauval will be presenting his new research for the first time in the UK, looking primarily at the enigmatic stone circles of Nabta Playa in southern Egypt, that pre-dates the pyramids by several thousand years and was used as an astronomical clock - one of the first in the world. He will be discussing the ancient origins of a culture that inspied the pyramid builders millenia later.
Andrew Collins, best-selling author of 'The Cygnus Mystery'. 'Gateway to Atlantis' and most recently 'Beneath the Pyramids' will be headlining the Megalithomania Conference on Sunday 9th May. His breakthrough research into the mysteries of what exist under the Giza plateau has caused a sensation in the media and academic world. His discovery of a strange convoluted cave complex that goes underneath the pyramids will be examined during his talk at Megalithomania, revealing for the first time at a UK conference, a long lost world of intrigue, conspiracy and unknown part of Egyptian culture. In fact, since his initial discovery, the caves have now been sealed up with no public access by the authorities. Andrew told us "Powerful evidence suggests that this underground complex existed before even the Pyramid Age, and might well reflect an African origin to the roots of ancient Egyptian religion. It might also hold the key to answering claims that in the vicinity of the Sphinx is a lost Hall of Records." Andrew has also written an exclusive article called 'Underworld of the Pharoahs' for Megalithomania that is now on the website - http://www.megalithomania.co.uk.
As well of two days of talks with speakers such as Francine Blake, Antoine Gigal, Gary Biltcliffe and Anthony Thorley, Megalithomania also has tours to Stonehenge (Friday), Avebury (Monday) and around the Glastonbury Zodiac (Tuesday). Plus a special talk by Michael Tellingeron the Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon. These are all open to anyone, even non-conference attendees. See the website for full details.
