THE FIFTH MEGALITHOMANIA CONFERENCE MAY 8th - 9th 2010, GLASTONBURY


A lot has been happening in the world of megaliths since the sad passing of John Michell and last years conference. From discoveries of megaliths and unusual earthworks in Ukraine and the news that the 'Garden of Eden' has been unearthed in the middle-east, the last conference helped unlock some remarkable secrets of the ancient world. The 2010 event continues in the same vein, investigating what the ancients were up to all over the world. A Few discounted tickets for the 2010 gathering are still available. Tickets are £70 (then £82) for the first 50 sold, so please call 01458 831800 to reserve your seat.

We are planning a concert for Saturday night (8th May) at the conference venue and will announce details of that very soon. Please check http://www.megalithomania.co.uk for updates on that. We also hope to present a tribute to the great Hamish Miller, who sadly passed away recently. Hamish spoke at the 2008 conference about his research in New Zealand and he was a big influence and friend of us organizers. We dedicate the 2010 conference to his memory.

We are pleased to announce that the great Aubrey Burl will be joining us to give us a glimpse into his new research on stone circles. Robert Bauval will be discussing his breakthrough discoveries about the origins of Egypt, and Andrew Collins will be revealing the cave and tunnel systems beneath Giza he recently discovered. Staying on that continent, Michael Tellinger will be opening up a lost megalithic civilization from Great Zimbabwe that is arguably the oldest city-state on the planet; and Antoine Gigal has rediscovered pyramids on Mauritius, as well as in Sicily and Tenerife. Back to Albion, Anthony Thorley will be discussing the subject of his Phd, Landscape Zodiacs in Britain, and Francine Blake will be comparing ancient rock carvings to modern crop circle symbolism. There's a whole lot more than that though, so check out the enclosed flyer for the complete line up and find details of each speakers talk on the website. We will also be hosting another Megalithic art gallery and a full day seminar with Michael Tellinger detailing his amazing discoveries in South Africa, plus three days of tours to sacred sites...

Looking forward to seeing you again - All the best from the Megalithomania team
