Summit of Alternative History

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Some of the leading pyramid and megalith researchers and authors of ancient history will be gathering at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) in La Jolla, California, this weekend at the 4th annual "Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge" (CPAK), the largest meeting of "alternative historians" in the world. Many of the scheduled presenters offer unusual theories about history, such as the belief that history may be cyclical with alternating Dark and Golden Ages, a cycle Plato called: The Great Year.


Speakers this year include Dr. Robert Schoch, the Boston University Geologist famed for re-dating the Sphinx (likely much older than heretofore believed), Graham Hancock, Explorer and Author of Fingerprints of the Gods, and other books that suggest our ancient ancestors were more intelligent than most anthropologists infer, John Anthony West, Rebel Egyptologist who suspects ancient Egypt might have its roots in an earlier culture (possibly Atlantis), Walter Cruttenden, an Archeoastronomer that suggests the motion of the solar system through space might play a role in the rise and fall of civilization, Robert Bauval, Engineer and Giza specialist, John Burke, a subtle energy scientist, that has discovered polarity alignments at Avebury... These are just a few of the provocative scientists, authors and independent investigators that will be presenting new information on humanity's ancient history.
According to Geoff Patino, a UCSD alumni and one of the conference organizers, "The mission of CPAK 2007 is to investigate the myth, folklore, archaeology and astronomy of ancient cultures with the goal of better understanding our true history. Research shows many ancient societies lived much closer to nature than we do and they had a deep understanding of geometry, astronomy and reverence for the heavens. New evidence indicates that celestially aligned megalithic structures may have a profound agricultural purpose. We should try to understand all we can about these nature based cultures as it appears there might be lost knowledge important to civilization today."
In addition to the private roundtable and academic meeting, the Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge offers two days of presentations to the general public. They will take place at Peterson Hall on the UCSD campus this October 6-7.
