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

Summer Solstice Event in Brittany


18th - 22nd June 2009 - Stones, Snakes and Sun....

A unique chance to approach the mysterious megaliths of Carnac ! Talks, sunrise and sunset observations, visits on foot, by boat and by helicopter, workshops, exhibitions, films, story telling, music...5 incredible days of wonder and discovery.

The building of the megalithic monuments in Carnac started over 7000 years ago. Thousands of tons of stones were extracted, transported and erected in alignments, circles, cairns and tumulus.

If you want to know more, join us in Plouharnel and listen and talk to people who have been searching for answers for many years ... and who have found some !

This year we are thrilled to welcome back Robin Heath who will fill us in on his latest work on the astronomical heritage of the ancients (and remind us of the basics). He's coming with Paul Broadhurst of "The Sun and the Serpent" fame. So the Heavens and the Earth should be united and the snakes and dragons tamed.

Howard Crowhurst, who has been living in the Carnac area since 1986, will help us discover this amazing site and show how it's related to British monuments. Other speakers include Hugn Newman, Kate Masters, Regor Mougeot, Audrey Fella, Philippe Gaillard, Pierre Le Labousse, Priscilla Abraham and Bruno Mauguin. There will be three exhibitions of paintings and photographs, story telling, films, many visits including a boat trip to the entirely engraved dolmen on the island of Gavrinis and to crown the lot...site visits by helicopter!

For only 35€, you will have the unique opportunity to discover the most incredible megalithic site in the world by air and see how these different alignments (Erdeven, Carnac, Plouharnel) and tumulus (Saint Michel, Kercado, Crucuny) are related!

This event is organised by ACEM (Association pour la Connaissance et l'Etude des Mégalithes), a non-profit making organisation based in Plouharnel.

MEGALITHOMANIA 2009 – DEDICATED TO JOHN MICHELL


The annual MEGALITHOMANIA CONFERENCE returns for its fourth convention of the megalithic arts and sciences at The Assembly Rooms, Glastonbury on 23rd & 24th May 2009. This year's line-up includes Graham Hancock, Robert Temple, Christine Rhone, Michael Hodges, Robin Heath and many others. Since it's humble beginnings in 2006, MEGALITHOMANIA has become Europe's foremost assembly of scholars, authors and researchers on all things megalithic. The varied subjects blend academic disciplines with cutting-edge research from a variety of fields, including archaeoastronomy, geomancy, archaeoacoustics, geodesy, earth energies, navigation and geometry.

The pioneer of the earth mysteries renaissance, John Michell, passed away on Friday 24th April at 12.30am, so we are dedicating the conference to his memory. He was the main inspiration for creating the event, and even gave us permission to use the Megalithomania name (from his 1982 book). He has been involved in the first three events since its inception in 2006 and will be greatly missed by us all. The speakers forum on the Sunday afternoon will be about his life and work and how he has inspired generations of Megalithomaniacs with his cutting-edge discoveries, original ideas and visionary understanding of the ancients. There will be contributions from John Martineau, John Neal, Jamie George, Christine Rhone, Robin Heath and several others who were close to John.

A total of thirteen talks and one film screening are planned for the conference with book signings, a megalitho-market place, an extensive art exhibition and Glastonbury town on the doorstep of the venue. Tickets for the conference are £80/£45 day/£7 single talks. Field trips to Stonehenge and Avebury will take place on the Friday and Monday with ROBIN HEATH. There are still places available on these. Call +44 1458 831800 for tickets, email info@megalithomania.co.uk or visit http://www.megalithomania.co.uk for more details.

Megalithomania 2009 News Update


The annual MEGALITHOMANIA CONFERENCE returns for its fourth convention of the megalithic arts and sciences at The Assembly Rooms, Glastonbury on 23rd & 24th May 2009. This year's line-up includes Graham Hancock, Robert Temple, Christine Rhone, Michael Hodges, Robin Heath and many others. Since it's humble beginnings in 2006, MEGALITHOMANIA has become Europe's foremost assembly of scholars, authors and researchers on all things megalithic. The varied subjects blend academic disciplines with cutting-edge research from a variety of fields, including archaeoastronomy, geomancy, archaeoacoustics, geodesy, earth energies, navigation and geometry.

A late addition to the 2009 line-up is Robin Williamson, a master bard and storyteller, who founded The Incredible String Band. He is also a researcher of ancient myths and legends of the British Isles, and will be performing a Bardic account about the Tuatha de Danaan; notably the two battles of Moytura, the sacred megalithic complex at Sligo in Ireland. An ancient oral tradition that recounts conflicts of the ancestors at the dawn of the world, gleaned from Irish mythology. He will be presenting on Saturday afternoon and also be doing an exclusive Saturday evening concert.

Robin Heath, author of Sun, Moon & Stonehenge will be guiding full-access tours to Stonehenge and Avebury on the Friday and Monday and also presenting his groundbreaking new research on an 'ancient national grid' across Britain at the conference on the Sunday. On a similar note, Tom Brookes will be screening his new film about a prehistoric geodetic survey of Southern England linking earth-mounds, standing stones and other archaeological features into a coherent, scientific system that has been completely ignored by the academic fraternity. He has been studying this subject for nearly fifty years, contacted every University in Britain about his discoveries, published a book on the subject, but his conclusions has been dismissed as 'arcane' and simply 'impossible' for such a developed standard of surveying to have existed 5,000 years ago. Both Robin & Tom have hit 'brick walls' when presenting their findings to the academics and this is an ongoing problem encountered by many researchers; a theme that will be discussed at the event.

On the other side of the Atlantic, in the North Eastern states of America are a remarkable network of megalithic sites that, again, have been placed in the archaeological trash by the historical establishment. Hugh Newman, author of Earth Grids: The Secret Patterns of Gaia's Sacred Sites, spent a month exploring the hundreds of ancient chambers, menhirs, dolmens and stone circles in New England, that are another stunning example of a worldwide megalithic effort to construct such sites. Even the Native Americans do not know who constructed many of these sites and there is abundant evidence that this part of the US was visited by advanced civilisations in prehistory that are remembered in many of the legends of the area. Hugh will be speaking on the Sunday morning.

One must ask who these people really were and why did they go to so much effort to construct such great megalithic temples across the entire planet that would withstand the tests of time? Find out this and much more at this year's MEGALITHOMANIA conference. With a total of thirteen talks, a megalith-forum, tours to Stonehenge and Avebury and an extensive megalithic art exhibition it is your opportunity to officially become a Megalithomaniac!

A total of thirteen talks and one film screening are planned with book signings, a megalitho-market place and Glastonbury town on the doorstep of the venue. Tickets for the conference are £80. Field trips to Stonehenge and Avebury will take place on the Friday and Monday. Field trips are not included in the price.

Megalithomania Conference 17th - 18th May 2008, Glastonbury


"All this excitement about a collection of battered old rocks and mounds of earth must be puzzling to those who have yet had no direct experience of Megalithomania"
John Michell , Megalithomania! 1982

Stone circles, dolmens, burial chambers and unusually designed megalithic sites are not limited to the landscape of Britain. A sophisticated understanding of megalithic construction techniques were in use across the whole planet in Neolithic and Bronze Age times. Local sites near Glastonbury are the starting point for this year's Megalithomania conference, but distinguished researchers and authors from all over the world will be discussing their cutting-edge research into ancient civilisations and megalithic sites. From the jungles of Peru, to the temples of the South Pacific and from the mountains of New Zealand to the stones of Brittany, Megalithomania has gone global!

Glastonbury's MEGALITHOMANIA Conference is now in it's third year and is taking place in the Assembly Rooms in Glastonbury on 17th & 18th May 2008. On the Friday (16th) before the event, local sites Stanton Drew and Stoney Littleton will be visited on a guided tour with local author Gordon Strong and archaeo-botanist Gordon Hillman, co-star of the Ray Mears Wild Food TV show on BBC2. On the following Monday, a private tour to Stonehenge will be led by David Furlong and John Michell (tbc).

The keynote speaker for the event is David Hatcher Childress, well known for his groundbreaking research into ancient civilisations. He will be discussing his travels in South America and the Pacific. Geomancer Hamish Miller will be presenting his research on The Stone People of New Zealand and Nicholas Mann & Philippa Glasson will be presenting their breakthroughs on the astro-archaeological alignments of Avalon and how the ancients understood precession of the equinoxes. Other speakers include Tom Graves, who will be re-launching his classic work Needles of Stone, David Furlong will be walking in the footsteps of the 'dod-man' and examine how the megalith builders surveyed, measured and studied the landscape. Special guests from Holland and America, Reinoud Du Jonge & Jay Wakefield have followed clues of a Neolithic maritime civilisation who left maps encoded within rock-art around the world. Author of Europe's Lost Civilisation Peter Marshall, who travelled over 4,000 miles of Europe's megalithic coastlines, will be pinpointing his favourite stories from his epic journey. See the website and posters for the full line-up.

There will be a Megalithic art gallery during the event curated by Antiquarian artist Kate Masters, including original paintings, photography and 3D pieces. There will be an exclusive preview of the new Standing with Stones film with producer Michael Bott; plus there will be several book launches and signings from some of the authors speaking at the event.

MEGALITHOMANIA is organised by Hugh Newman, Gareth Mills and John Martineau, who in late 2005 realised that the megaliths were not really being looked at by conferences in Britain. With a passion for visiting ancient sites and reading many books on the subject, the three of them dedicated themselves to organising the ultimate conference on megaliths. Leaving no stone unturned, Megalithomania was created to shine a new light on the megalithic sciences and maintain a multidisciplinary forum to help unlock these mysteries. On the Sunday evening at the conference, a speakers forum will be joined by the earth mysteries pioneer and inspiration for the conferences name, John Michell, who published his classic Megalithomania Book in 1982.

The status quo does not immediately support new or radical theories, but a conference like this allows all angles of research to be explored. For example, in the early part of the last century, archaeoastronomy was fumbling to find its feet, but now it is now established that our ancestors were keen astronomers. Earth energy, once thought of as part of the dowsers' overactive imagination, has recently been scientifically verified, documented and used by big business to improve seed production and fertility of crops. The study of sound at sacred sites, archaeoacoustics, is also becoming accepted in some pockets of academia with repeatable scientific study.

Although the old stones can seem like a stuffy and boring subject, the mysteries of our ancient relatives still retain their mystique. As we have seen, modern technology is verifying 'radical' theories and helping unlock some of the secrets of the megaliths. There is a new breed of Megalithomaniac, who don't just want to measure, dig and record what they find. The subtleties of musical harmony, earth energies and altered states of consciousness are now being examined with an open mind, yet from a scientific perspective. We should not hark back to the ancient way of life and pretend it was a 'golden age', but reopen the book of the past with reverence, respect and the knowledge that the builders of the megaliths were not savages, but possessed the same level of intelligence and compassion as we do today.

The conference takes place at the Assembly Rooms in Glastonbury on 17th & 18th May 2008. Field trips to Stanton Drew, Stoney Littleton, Stonehenge and Avebury will take place on the Friday and Monday. Tickets are £68 for the first 50 sold, then £80. Field trips are not included in the price. Call 01458 831800 for tickets or visit http://www.megalithomania.co.uk

STONE AGE SURVIVAL: Earth Energies, Megaliths & Ancient Nutrition

Hugh Newman has studied Naturopathic nutrition and alternative therapies for seven years. He also organises the 'Megalithomania' conference in Glastonbury and is an international speaker on megalithic science. His two favourite subjects, nutrition and megaliths have at last come together in his new research on stone age survival techniques. http://www.newhuman.co.uk, http://www.megalithomania.co.uk

In this talk Hugh will explore how the ancients used dowsing, big stones and magnetic earth energy currents to enhance seeds, promote fertility and re-mineralise their food. Agriculture began at the same time as the construction of stone circles. Is there a connection and do we need this knowledge today?

Earth Energies and Divinatory Arts Area


Since 1994 the Big Green Gathering has developed in to the main 'green' event in Britain, if not the world. It has showcased future technologies, alternative ways of life and inspired many town folk to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. But one corner has often been overlooked that was initially established by astrologer Steve Judd 12 years ago - the Earth Energies and Divinatory Arts area.

Now coordinated by MEGALITHOMANIA organiser, Hugh Newman, the EEDA is now regarded as an annual 'Conference in a Field' and is attracting authors and researchers from fields as diverse as astrology, earth mysteries, consciousness, sacred geometry, environmental science, anthropology and spirituality. We even got a 5 page review in the spring edition of 'Avalon Magazine' that is also available as a download on the BGG website (see link on website).

The 'Conference in a Field' theme continues into 2007, with the addition of some respected international authors and researchers to the regular EEDA speaker line-up. From America, we have Daniel Pinchbeck, who has recently published 2012 - The Return of Quetzelcoatl. In this book he examines indigenous prophecy through personal and philosophical approaches, and offers the hypothesis that humanity is experiencing an accelerated process of global consciousness transformation that culminates in 2012. Regular speaker, Geoff Stray, who wrote Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Ecstacy, will be joining Pinchbeck in an 'End of Time Forum' alongside Louis Standen, Mark Heley and the one and only Michael Glickman. Plus it will be hosted by Paradox, who is also speaking on 'Consciousness Evolution' earlier in the day.

Regulars such as Joy Youngman, Nick Kollerstrom and Jon Atkinson will be talking alongside new speakers Celia Gunn, Ross Hemsworth and Christian Kyriacou. We welcome back Serena Roney Dougal, who will be highlighting her incredible psychic research with Tibetan masters, whilst Glennie Kindred also returns in 2007 to discuss the new paradigm of 'Earth-Magic' and the cycles of the seasons. Andrew Collins, a respected ancient mysteries author will be discussing his breakthrough theories about the 'Cygnus' star constellation & how it relates to shifts in consciousness going back to paleolithic times. In all, there are 60 speaker and four full days of talks in two marquees; and that does not even include the shamanic workshops, Dowsing training, wild-food foraging and Bardic performances in the 'Earth Space' quarry!!

Our special guest is the Arch Druid of Stonehenge & Britain, Rollo Maughling, who will be holding a Lughnsadh (Lammas) ceremony on the Sunday in the modern stone circle in the 'EEDA field.

See http://www.big-green-gathering.com//index.php?pageid=15 for the full four day schedule of talks and for general info about the Earth Energies and Divinatory Arts area.

The Big Green Gathering takes place at Fernhill Farm, Cheddar, Somerset between 1st & 5th August 2007. Tickets range from £20 to £110. Day tickets for Saturday & Sunday are available locally. Book tickets online at www.big-green-gathering.com or call 01458 830281.

ROBERT TEMPLE SPEAKING IN GLASTONBURY


ROBERT TEMPLE, bestselling author of 'The Sirius Mystery' will be exclusively talking about his discoveries of prehistoric quartz crystal and glass lenses that date back to the megalithic era at Glastonburys MEGALITHOMANIA conference. The event takes place at The Assembly Rooms on May 19th & 20th. Temple will be speaking at 6pm on the Saturday.

Temple will present evidence that magnifying lenses, telescopes, and optical surveying techniques existed from the time of Old Kingdom Egypt, with magnifying crystals known even in Predynastic times, circa 3300 BC. Over 400 ancient optical artifacts which were precision-ground or cast have been discovered by Professor Temple proving the exact alignments of ancient monuments were made possible by the use of crystal and glass lenses.

The mythical dimension of 'light technology' will also be explained, such as the true meaning of the myth of Prometheus, based on 'fire from heaven' produced by light beams focused by magnifying lenses and mirrors. Professor Temple will be speaking at 6pm on Saturday 19th May at the conference.

Tickets for his talk will also be available on the door for £6. Tickets are £80 for the conference. £40 day tickets will be available on door. Individual talk tickets will be available on the door for £6 each.

Megalithic Conference in Glastonbury


The second annual 'Megalithomania conference' is taking place at the Assembly Rooms, Glastonbury on 19th and 20th May. Speakers include Robert Temple, Keith Critchlow, John Michell, Ronald Hutton, Cheryl Straffon, Anthony Murphy & many others. There are also field trips to Stonehenge on the Friday & around the sites of Glastonbury on the Monday.

http://www.megalithomania.co.uk
Megalithomania was founded by Hugh Newman, John Martineau and Gareth Mills in the winter of 2005. Inspired by the incredible research of numerous authors, the conference was created to become an open forum to debate the megalithic arts and sciences. The team felt that history books and colleges do not present the evidence that is being discovered today. Revelations in the fields of archaeoastronomy, geomancy, mathematics, ley alignments, sacred geometry and other cutting-edge disciplines are helping rewrite our own history, but are often completely overlooked by the academic world. Many people want to know where we came from and connect to our ancestors so we hope that this annual event can be part of that process.
