Most history books still teach that about 5000 years ago, mankind was a primitive hunter-gatherer incapable of complex thought.
We are taught that only a few thousand years ago, humanity stumbled through the world as a primitive species—hunters and gatherers barely risen above instinct, incapable of advanced thought, mathematics, or engineering.
Within this story, the great stone monuments of the ancient world are reduced to crude explanations: places of sacrifice, symbols of power, or simple markers for farmers who did not yet understand the seasons.
But stone remembers what textbooks forget.
Across the Earth, massive megalithic structures endure—precisely cut, mathematically ordered, and astronomically aligned. They were raised in epochs long before writing was believed to exist, yet they display knowledge of geometry, astronomy, and celestial cycles that modern science is only now beginning to fully appreciate.
For centuries, we have assumed that the past must be more primitive simply because it is ancient. But what if humanity has risen—and fallen—more than once?
The myths of the ancient world tell a different story.
From Greece and Persia to India and beyond, sacred traditions speak of a Golden Age when humanity lived in harmony with nature, when the gods walked among us, and when the heavens were not distant lights, but living clocks governing the ages of the world.
These stories speak in whispers and symbols of vast cycles of time—of celestial ages turning like the seasons, bringing rise, decline, and renewal. Above all, they speak of a forgotten intimacy between humanity and the stars.
Today, modern discoveries confirm what myth has long preserved. Cairns, tombs, henges, pyramids, and stone circles across the globe are aligned to solstices, equinoxes, cardinal directions, and stellar events. Together, they form a planetary testament—one carved in stone and written in the sky.
Stone monuments are among the few human creations that can speak across deep time. Their message is clear: a global civilization once existed that understood the rhythms of the cosmos—and encoded that knowledge for those who would one day remember.
This September, we gather to recover that memory.
Join leading researchers, scholars, and independent thinkers at the 14th Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge, where myth, archaeology, astronomy, and ancient wisdom converge. If the past was more advanced than we were taught—then understanding it may be essential to shaping a wiser future.
The stones are still speaking.
The stars are still turning.
The question is…
…are we ready to listen?

SPEAKERS
CPAK 2026
Luke Caverns
American Anthropologist
TOPIC: Silent Giants: Unraveling the Mystery of the Olmec Colossal Heads
Luke Caverns is an American anthropologist, explorer, and researcher whose work focuses on the deep symbology, cultural diffusion, and technological continuity of ancient civilizations across Mesoamerica, Central America, and South America. His research examines how pre-Columbian societies may have been far more interconnected than traditionally acknowledged, sharing systems of knowledge, religious cosmologies, architectural principles, and symbolic languages across vast regions—and possibly across oceans.
Coming from a lineage of explorers, antiquarians, missionaries, and treasure hunters active in the American Southwest since the late 19th century, Luke inherited a lifelong passion for discovery and ancient history. His grandfathers were cattle drivers and explorers who searched for lost Spanish gold and ancient artifacts, instilling in him an investigative spirit that bridges academic anthropology with field exploration. This background has shaped Luke’s ability to approach ancient mysteries with both scholarly rigor and a willingness to challenge conventional historical frameworks.
Luke has served as a guest expert on the History Channel and continues to bring academic insights to a wider audience through his research, lectures, and media work. His ongoing studies emphasize the importance of recognizing cultural exchange and shared knowledge systems long before the modern era of globalization—offering a more integrated view of human history.
He is also the creator and host of the YouTube and Spotify series The First Explorers, which examines firsthand accounts from early explorers at the edges of the known world. By revisiting original narratives and overlooked evidence, the series sheds new light on what ancient explorers and early chroniclers actually encountered—and what their observations may reveal about lost civilizations, forgotten histories, and even extinct species.
Freddy Silva
Researcher, Explorer, and Author
TOPIC: With a Focus on Large concentration in Megaliths Portugal, Brittany, and Northern Scotland
Freddy Silva is a bestselling author, documentary filmmaker, and internationally recognized researcher in the fields of ancient civilizations, sacred sites, alternative history, and consciousness studies.
He has dedicated over three decades to exploring the symbolic meaning, energetic properties, and cultural significance of megalithic structures, temples, crop circles, and sacred landscapes around the world.
Silva’s work seeks to reveal how ancient cultures encoded cosmological and spiritual knowledge into monumental architecture and how this legacy can inform contemporary understanding of human consciousness and purpose.
He has appeared on television and radio platforms, including the Discovery Channel, the BBC, and Coast to Coast AM, and is a featured speaker on topics spanning sacred geometry, prehistoric traditions, and the intersection of science and mysticism. Silva also leads international tours and pilgrimages to sacred locations globally. His research has been published in numerous books translated into multiple languages.
Randall Carlson
Master builder, architectural designer, and interdisciplinary researcher known for his synthesis of geology, geometry, and mythic history.
TOPIC: The Search for Atlantis: Catastrophe, Geometry & Lost Civilizations
For more than four decades, he has explored how cosmic cataclysms, cyclical earth changes, and sacred geometry have shaped both our planet and our civilizations.
Through his project Sacred Geometry International and the Kosmographia Podcast, Carlson has inspired a generation of truth-seekers and scientists alike to reexamine humanity’s deep past — revealing evidence that our world has undergone multiple cycles of destruction and renewal. His research aligns with geological and astronomical data suggesting periodic resets tied to cometary bombardments, solar outbursts, and precessional rhythms.
Combining the precision of a designer with the curiosity of a scientist and the soul of a philosopher, Carlson decodes the mathematical blueprints embedded in ancient monuments, demonstrating that ancient builders encoded knowledge of cosmic time into their architecture — from the pyramids to medieval cathedrals. His work bridges hard science and esoteric tradition, showing that the ancients understood a universal language of form, frequency, and proportion — the same forces that govern both atoms and galaxies.
Tyler Engle
Multidisciplinary sound designer and music producer exploring the intersection of vibration, resonance, and consciousness.
TOPIC: Frequency to Form: how Sound Built the Ancient World
Tyler Engle is a multidisciplinary creator, researcher, and electronic music artist investigating the hidden architecture of reality—where ancient civilizations, sacred geometry, sound, and consciousness intersect. He is the founder of BassForge, a creative and educational ecosystem that spans books, immersive courses, live “temple-style” experiences, and large-scale music performances. His work explores the idea that many ancient monuments and mythologies were not symbolic in the modern sense, but functional systems designed to encode knowledge about perception, energy, and the nature of the universe itself.
Tyler is the author of Cryptex Esoterica, a deep exploration into how geometry, pattern, and myth function as a timeless operating system that outlives language, culture, and belief. Drawing from archaeology, physics, neuroscience, and comparative mythology, he challenges conventional historical narratives while grounding his ideas in observable structure, proportion, and resonance. His approach avoids blind mysticism, instead focusing on repeatable patterns that appear across civilizations—from Egyptian and Vedic temples to Greek architecture and megalithic sites worldwide.
Alongside his research and writing, Tyler is an established electronic music artist with a global audience, using sound design and performance as a medium for altered states, integration, and transformation. By merging education, art, and experience, his work aims to help people move from passive consumption of information to active participation in understanding reality—reframing ancient knowledge not as relics of the past, but as tools for navigating the future.
Katie Norris
Interdisciplinary researcher, author, and creative thinker
TOPIC: The Language of Symbols: Consciousness, Cycles, and Quantum Reality
Katie Norris is an interdisciplinary researcher, author, and creative thinker whose work bridges quantum physics, symbolism, and human consciousness through an accessible and deeply integrative lens. Raised in suburban Maryland, Katie demonstrated an early and sustained curiosity about how systems—artistic, scientific, and human—interconnect. This curiosity expressed itself through music, theater, and rigorous self-directed study, including teaching herself piano at age eight and later exploring subjects well beyond formal curricula.
She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Theater and Music from Frostburg State University, where she balanced artistic training with academic excellence, often collaborating with peers in scientific disciplines. After moving to New York City to pursue a career in theater, Katie continued her lifelong practice of self-study, developing a broad, multidisciplinary foundation that would later inform her work in science communication.
Relocating to Los Angeles marked a deepening of her engagement with physics—particularly quantum physics—and its philosophical and symbolic implications. During this period, Katie taught after-school programs in physics and robotics for elementary and middle-school students, reinforcing her commitment to making complex scientific ideas approachable and meaningful across age groups and backgrounds.
A seasoned traveler, Katie has studied and explored ancient sites and cultures across Egypt, Greece, South America, and the United Kingdom, experiences that further shaped her interest in the continuity of symbolic knowledge across civilizations. These journeys, combined with her scientific inquiry, culminated in her book Quantum Design, which presents quantum concepts not as abstract mathematics reserved for specialists, but as intelligible, experiential frameworks embedded in art, symbols, and ancient wisdom traditions.
At CPAK, Katie Norris brings a unique voice—one that unites modern quantum theory with timeless symbolic language—inviting audiences to reconsider how ancient civilizations encoded knowledge, and how those messages remain relevant to our understanding of reality today.
Jason Wilde
Author & Researcher of Comparative Mythology
TOPIC: When the World Turned Over: Myth as Memory of a Broken Sky
Across every ancient civilization, the same stories appear again and again—floods that reset the world, ages of light followed by ages of decline, knowledge descending from the sky or emerging from the waters after catastrophe. These accounts have long been dismissed as symbolic or mythological. But what if they are something else entirely?
In this presentation, independent researcher and author Jason Wilde explores the possibility that the world’s oldest myths are not metaphors, but fragmented cultural memories of real planetary disruption and celestial instability. Drawing on comparative mythology, Vedic cosmology, and global flood traditions, Wilde traces a recurring narrative pattern preserved from Mesopotamia to India, from Mesoamerica to the Mediterranean: a world altered suddenly, followed by the arrival of civilizing figures who restore order, law, and knowledge.
Beginning with a deeply personal encounter that set him on a decades-long path into Dharma and ancient cosmological study, Wilde connects lived experience with scholarly inquiry—examining why numbers such as 108 appear universally in breath, astronomy, ritual, and timekeeping, and how these structures may encode awareness of precessional cycles and Earth-sky relationships.
Rather than arguing for a single cause or interpretation, this talk invites a reframing of myth itself—as humanity’s longest-running archive of memory, preserving knowledge of cyclical time, catastrophe, and renewal across successive ages. In alignment with the Yuga framework, Wilde suggests that ancient peoples understood the world not as a linear progression, but as a repeating pattern—one in which consciousness, civilization, and the sky itself rise and fall together.
Hart Steen
Founder, The Divine Remembering | Researcher of Consciousness, Myth, and Galactic History
TOPIC: Mythoic – Divine Remembering
Hart Steen is a consciousness researcher and visionary speaker whose work explores humanity’s connection to galactic cycles, ancient wisdom traditions, and the awakening of higher states of awareness. Through his project The Divine Remembering, Hart integrates cosmology, sacred geometry, and experiential spirituality to reveal how ancient sites such as Göbekli Tepe, Egypt, and the Andes encode energetic maps of our relationship to the cosmos.
His presentations weave together mythic memory, astronomical alignment, and multidimensional consciousness, proposing that Earth’s sacred architecture was designed as a resonant interface with galactic energies. Hart’s insights point to a forgotten global awareness—one that understood the cyclical rise and fall of consciousness across Yuga-like epochs and saw humanity as a participant in a living, sentient universe.
Through field research, meditative practice, and visual storytelling, he invites audiences to reawaken this cosmic remembrance within themselves—bridging science, spirit, and the geometry of creation.
Adam Curry
Director, Entangled Foundation | Inventor, Consciousness Researcher, Technologist
TOPIC: The Physics of Consciousness: Bridging the Yugas with Quantum Mind
Adam Curry is a consciousness researcher and inventor whose work explores the measurable interface between mind, matter, and the quantum field. A former Director at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) Lab, Curry’s background combines cutting-edge data analysis with open-minded inquiry into the nature of reality.
As founder of the Entangled Foundation, he leads pioneering experiments in collective consciousness, random-event correlations, and non-local information fields—continuing decades of research into how human intention can influence physical systems. His work investigates whether consciousness itself may act as a resonant field shaping the evolution of civilization through great cycles of time.
By uniting ancient metaphysical principles with quantum information science, Curry’s research points toward a new synthesis: that consciousness is not a by-product of matter, but the substrate of the universe, a view echoing the higher states of awareness described in the ascending Yugas.
Charlotte Moroz
Doctoral Candidate in Mythological Studies – Mythology Consultant
TOPIC: Mythological Dreams
We are pleased to announce our MC for CPAK2024 is Charlotte Moroz, a scholar in comparative mythology with multiple papers on myths and megaliths and an up-and-coming writer/performer. An explorer of ancient sites, fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, she is a dynamo of positive energy!

The ancient cosmological wisdom of Anatolian cultures is deeply rooted in their understanding of astronomy, cyclical patterns, and lunar/solar sciences. These traditions encompass a wide range of knowledge, from celestial observations to the integration of the cosmos into their spiritual and cultural practices.
Anatolian cultures, particularly those centered in regions like present-day Turkey, were early observers of the stars, planets, and their movements. Sites like Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe are testaments to their advanced understanding of celestial cycles, dating back to at least 9600 BC. Interestingly, some of these practices have endured through millennia and are still alive in contemporary Anatolian cultures. Communities in this region continue to celebrate festivals and rituals that echo the ancient cyclical patterns, honoring the seasonal changes, the phases of the moon, and the solar journey, demonstrating a living connection to their ancestral cosmological knowledge.
Walter Cruttenden
Author, Director of the Binary Research Institute
TOPIC: Life in the Higher Ages
Walter Cruttenden is an author and researcher working at the intersection of ancient wisdom, modern science, and human consciousness. His Binary Research Institute, based on the work of Sri Yukteswar, challenges the conventional paradigm of what caused the fall of many ancient civilizations, and why we have seen a rise in consciousness since the renaissance.
Cruttenden is the author of the book “Lost Star of Myth and Time,” and documentary, “The Great Year”, narrated by James Earl Jones, which looks at the evidence for a stellar companion and its likely influence on Earth’s ancient past and possible future.
Cruttenden shares his research and insights with audiences worldwide, inspiring others to question the prevailing narratives of history and to explore the deeper mysteries of the universe. His talks blend scientific inquiry with spiritual wisdom, offering a holistic perspective on the nature of reality and our interconnectedness with the cosmos.
In addition to his writing, Cruttenden also hosts the popular podcast “The Cosmic Influence,” where he interviews leading experts in the fields of astronomy, mythology, and consciousness. Through his work, Walter Cruttenden invites us to reconsider our place in the cosmos and embrace a broader understanding of reality.
Joseph Selbie
Author, Speaker, Researcher
TOPIC: Coherence: Key to Higher Consciousness
Joseph Selbie is one of the foremost exponents of the yugas, India’s tradition of cyclical history. The yugas provide context for ancient anomalies, such as Gobekli Tepe, Sanskrit, and the Great Pyramid, as well as for emerging trends, such as the current explosion of interest in experiential spirituality. His book, The Yugas, has sold worldwide and in numerous translations. Joseph’s studies span East and West; Greek history and archeology at U.C. Boulder and Indian history and philosophy at U.C. Berkeley. He has presented frequently at CPAK.
A polymath, Joseph is also known for creating bridges of understanding between the modern evidenced-based discoveries of science and the timeless experience-based discoveries of the mystics. He is the author of Break Through the Limits of the Brain, how neuroscience supports spiritual experience, The Physics of God, a unification of science and religion, and, coming out in the fall of 2024, The Physics of Miraculous Healing, an explanation for extraordinarily rapid physical healing.
Joseph has taught yoga, meditation, and universal experiential spirituality throughout the US and Europe. He has presented at numerous conferences and has appeared on many programs including: The Chopra Well with Deepak Chopra, Coast to Coast with George Noory, Gaia’s Open Minds with Regina Meredith, and Buddha at the Gas Pump with Rick Archer. Joseph appears with Elizabeth Rohm in the 2014 docudrama, Finding Happiness, which showcases Ananda Village, one of the most successful spiritual communities in the world. In 1975 Joseph became a founding member of Ananda, a worldwide spiritual movement inspired by the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi.

Hugh Evans
Archaeoastronomy Researcher & Author
Hugh Evans brings a rare combination of scientific discipline and historical inquiry to the study of ancient cosmology. He studied astrophysics at university, graduated in aeronautical engineering, and later qualified as a Chartered Accountant. Today, he applies this rigorous analytical background to a lifelong passion for history, astronomy, and the lost knowledge of ancient civilizations.
Over thousands of hours of meticulous research—including extensive site visits, landscape analysis, hieroglyphic interpretation, and ancient language translation—Hugh has developed a compelling thesis: that the Zodiac and circumpolar constellations were first mapped on Earth, long before they were formalized in the skies. His work focuses on the landforms and megalithic features of Gwynedd, North Wales, where he has identified terrestrial counterparts to all twelve zodiac constellations.
According to Evans, these ground-based star maps predate the Babylonian and Egyptian zodiacs and may be even older than Göbekli Tepe. Rather than humans projecting patterns onto the stars, his research suggests the inverse: the constellations in the heavens were chosen to mirror sacred patterns already encoded in the landscape.
Central to this work is the region surrounding Cadair Idris, which Hugh identifies as a key nodal point in an ancient, coherent astronomical system embedded in the terrain itself—preserved through Welsh place-names, myth, and linguistic structure.
Hugh Evans is the author of The Origins of the Zodiac, a groundbreaking work that challenges conventional timelines and offers a radically different origin story for humanity’s relationship with the stars. His research invites a profound reconsideration of antediluvian knowledge, sacred geography, and the true antiquity of astronomical science.
Gary Evans
Author, Researcher
TOPIC: The Power of Nature
Gary Evans, director and co-founder of The Forest Bathing Institute, The World Economic Forum Top Innovator, is a peer-reviewed author and researcher on the health benefits of forest bathing. Gary’s love of nature started at a young age; something Gary credits to his father. He has an inquisitive mind and likes to understand how things are and not just accept the way things appear to be. When Gary looks at forests, birds and animals, he is amazed and moved with wonder at the beauty he sees and feels. This worldview formed the foundation for The Forest Bathing Institute. He always wondered if there were health benefits to spending time in forests and couldn’t understand why these incredible areas had not been explored more. The discovery of Forest Bathing joined big dots and Gary’s research began.
The Forest Bathing Institute has found that many plants and trees emit beneficial aerosols and other aromas that heal the body or uplift the psyche. Research suggests old growth forests in particular appear to be exceptionally rich in healing properties.
In 2018, Gary, alongside Olga Terebenina, pioneered Forest Bathing+ in the UK. Between them, they have led hundreds of woodland therapy sessions for the general public, health care professionals, NHS staff, Defra, Natural England, Forestry England, County Councils and world experts in nature therapy.
Gary regularly consults with the government, universities (70 currently), healthcare providers, wildlife charities and national landowners. Gary is regularly quoted in the national and international press and featured in countless publications, including The Guardian and Telegraph. His media appearances include BBC TV, BBC Earth, BBC Radio and print. In 2025, Gary and Olga co-authored ‘The Healing Power of Trees’ book and Forest Bathing Card Deck (available at retailers across the UK and the US, as well as online) to spread awareness about forest bathing practice and make it accessible to more people.
Post conference Gary will be leading a small group to some of the largest and oldest trees in the world at Sequoia National Park, for the ultimate forest bathing experience! Let us know if you want to join. First come first serve.
MD William Gaspar
Author, Medical Doctor, and Archaeoastronomy Researcher
TOPIC: The Power of the Cosmic Cross
Dr. William A. Gaspar is a practicing Hospitalist and Internal Medicine physician whose lifelong curiosity has driven him to explore the unsolved mysteries of ancient civilizations. Born in Pittsburgh, he spent his early childhood in Germany and later Hungary, experiences that immersed him in diverse languages and cultures. This early exposure sparked a deep fascination with the origins of language—an interest that continues to inform much of his research today.
In 1999, Dr. Gaspar and his wife, Eva, founded Adam and Eva Publishing. His first book, The Celestial Clock, brought him national attention and led to an appearance on the famed Art Bell Show in February 2001. While practicing medicine, Dr. Gaspar made a striking discovery: the one-second rhythm of the human heartbeat mirrors the “heartbeat” of Earth recorded in the Vostok Ice Age data—an insight that propelled his exploration of ancient patterns, cycles, and cosmology.
He later presented his work at the First International Sacred Geometry Conference in Sedona, Arizona, in 2004, and went on to publish several additional volumes on ancient civilizations and archaeoastronomy. In 2016, he became an American bestseller through his contribution to Jack Canfield’s Road to Success, Volume 2.
Recent advancements in astrophysics—especially the study of black holes—have reignited Dr. Gaspar’s passion for decoding the symbolic language embedded in ancient creation myths. His upcoming books, The Power of the Cosmic Cross and The Dragon and the Evil Dwarf, promise to challenge conventional thinking by revealing how ancient star priests encoded advanced scientific knowledge about Earth’s inner dynamo, climate cycles, and the cosmic mechanisms driving planetary change.
Dr. Gaspar’s work bridges medicine, myth, astronomy, and the deep science of ancient wisdom—continuing a lifelong journey to understand the forces that shape both human life and the world we inhabit.
Drupada McDonald
Prominent Vedic Astrologer
TOPIC: The Inner Science of Vedic Astrology
Drupada (John McDonald) is a seasoned Vedic astrologer and long-standing scholar of the esoteric sciences whose work spans more than three decades of international teaching, consultation, and research. Grounded in the classical Vedic tradition and informed by lifelong spiritual discipline, his approach to astrology integrates precise astronomical calculation with subtle perception, treating astrology as a sophisticated system of knowledge rather than a merely predictive art.
A disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda, Drupada emphasizes that Vedic astrology was never intended to be understood solely through linear logic or mathematical abstraction. While planetary mechanics provide a necessary structural framework, he teaches that astrological meaning emerges through dynamic relationships—between time, consciousness, and cosmic order. In this view, astrology operates as an interface between inner and outer worlds, reflecting patterns of awareness as much as planetary motion.
In his presentation, Drupada will examine significant planetary configurations and long-cycle influences shaping both the immediate future and the broader arc of human development. Drawing upon Vedic cosmology and its cyclical understanding of time, he will situate current astrological conditions within larger evolutionary rhythms—offering context for periods of cultural upheaval, transformation, and renewal.
Drupada may also address the concept of the Akashic Records, traditionally described as a subtle, non-material field in which information is conserved beyond space and time. Interpreted through a contemporary lens, this idea can be likened to a universal informational field—analogous to theoretical constructs in physics such as the zero-point field or quantum vacuum—through which past, present, and potential future states may be accessed. Within the esoteric sciences, astrology functions as one of the symbolic languages through which this deeper informational substrate becomes intelligible.
What distinguishes Drupada’s work is his ability to synthesize rigorous study with contemplative insight. His interpretations arise from decades of disciplined practice, meditation, and direct inquiry, enabling him to communicate complex astrological and metaphysical principles with clarity and intellectual depth. His lectures are known for their ability to engage both analytical and intuitive faculties, offering audiences a framework for understanding astrology as a genuine science of consciousness.
At the Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge, Drupada McDonald invites participants to reconsider astrology not as superstition or belief, but as a refined epistemology—an ancient system for reading time, memory, and meaning within a living cosmos.
