April 1st
Hugh Newman
The Olmecs, Quetzelcoatl and the Megalithic Origins of Central America

Hugh has recently travelled around Mexico, Guetamala and Belize in search of the pre-Mayan megalithic civilization that flourished as far back as 2000BC. Mexico is famous for its Mayan and Aztec architecture but Hugh has discovered evidence of much earlier cultures, that were of “megalithic” origin and were the inspiration behind the Mayan emergence. The Mayans have been credited with introducing a sophisticated calendar, agricultural practices and incredible stonework, but it is now thought that the 'Olmec' invented the "Mayan" calendar that ends in 2012 and taught the Mayans much of what they knew, with influences spreading into the world of the Zapotec, Toltec, Mixtec and Aztec peoples. Hugh will also explore the legend of the 'white god' Quetzelcoatl and give an overview of the incredible Olmec civilization, who were thought to be African in origin.

June 3rd
Chris Ellis
The Rise of Civilization in Egypt

Chris is an archaeologist. He will set out the main archaeological finds of the late 19th/early 20th centuries, in the order they were discovered, that show how kingship and the symbols and burial rites used for early leaders (chiefs/kings) were used by the earliest pharaohs (c. 3000 BC) in Royal displays and architecture including the development of pyramids as mortuary monuments. The discoveries were made by some colourful characters, the main one being William Matthew Flinders Petrie, who Chris will discuss in detail as he was so far ahead of his time.

Michael Hodges
Field Trip to St Catherines Hill

Michael will be leading a field trip and explaining the St Catherine’s Hill area, just outside Christchurch

August 5th
Maria Wheatley & Busty Taylor
Rediscovering Avebury Henge

The authors of Avebury, Sun, Moon and Earth have recently discovered some of Avebury's best kept secrets. Incorporated into the vast stone temple were incredible solar alignments which were associated with Avebury's most unusual megalith. Using sensitive electromagnetic detecting equipment the authors recorded signals of energy emitted by the stones - corresponding to dowseable bands of power.
Standing stones absorb the earth energy upon which they are sited and transmit the energy across vast distances, which we can prove. The authors experienced paranormal activity at Avebury and truly believe the ancient people that constructed the stone temple guided them, and showed them the long lost alignments to the Sun, Moon and Earth.
