2006 CPAK PRESENTERS
3rd Annual Conference
Precession and Ancient Knowledge — October 13-15 — Irvine, California
Robert G. Bauval
Robert G. Bauval was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1948. In 1967 he went to England to complete his higher education in Building Construction and Management at the University of the South Bank in London. From 1973 to 1985 Bauval worked on various construction projects in Oman, Iran, Sudan, Guinea, and Saudi Arabia. He now lives in Cairo near the Giza pyramids with his wife Michele.
In 1989 Bauval published a study which proposed that the layout of the three Giza Pyramids and their relative position to the Nile was intended to mirror the layout of the three stars in Orion’s belt and their relative position to the Milky Way. This thesis, now known as the ‘Orion Correlation Theory’, became the subject of his first book, The Orion Mystery, published in 1994. The Orion Mystery has been translated in more than twenty languages and has also been the subject of TV documentaries, by the BBC, ABC, Discovery Channel, Germany ZDF-Arte, Italy RAI, France A3, and many other European channels. Bauval’s second book, Keeper of Genesis (Message of the Sphinx in the USA) was co-authored with Graham Hancock, and has been translated in more than twenty-three languages as well as being the subject of several major TV documentaries. Other books by Bauval are Secret Chamber (1999), Talisman (2004, with Graham Hancock), and The Egypt Code (2006). Bauval is presently working on a new book, Sirius Rising, that will track the influence of the Egyptian star-goddess Sopdet (Sirius) from prehistoric times up to the early Christian era, with special focus on her role in the rebirth cult and temple rituals and alignments.
Richard C. Hoagland
Richard C. Hoagland is a former museum space science Curator; a former NASA Consultant; and, during the historic Apollo Missions to the Moon, was science advisor to Walter Cronkite and CBS News.
Since 1983, Hoagland has focused primarily on even more astounding possibilities for ancient intelligent life within the inner solar system — forming an independent, multi-disciplinary scientific Team (The Enterprise Mission) for analysis of NASA (and other nations’) spacecraft images of possible intelligently-designed ruins on Mars (beginning with Viking data of a region called “Cydonia”), and on the Moon (utilizing both unmanned and manned NASA and Soviet spacecraft lunar imaging).
Hoagland has been repeatedly invited over the last two decades to brief NASA scientists and engineers, at several NASA Centers, on the progress and results of this highly controversial, still on-going “ancient artifacts investigation.” He has also written a best-selling book for the general public (now in its fifth edition), detailing the progress of the 23-year-old investigation: The Monuments of Mars: A City on the Edge of Forever.
In 1993, Hoagland was awarded the International Angstrom Medal for Excellence in Science, by the Angstrom Foundation, in Stockholm, Sweden — for the ancillary discovery of an extraordinary “ancient physics,” found geometrically and mathematically encoded in the aging Cydonia ruins.
John Burke
John Burke has a background in physics and works with hi-tech startup companies, developing new discoveries into useful, marketable tools. His chief avocation is using Occam’s Razor to explore physical as well as mental mysteries in terms of known scientific principles. Years of combining library and archival research with major field work is often required, and has proven fruitful in several fields.
In 1993, he and co-author Kaj Halberg stumbled into a mysterious arrangement of stones at Avebury stone circle (the much larger forerunner of Stonehenge). Five weeks and 1,000 magnetometer measurements showed that all 66 remaining stones had their magnetic north poles all pointed at the next stone in line. Realizing that such an accomplishment required ancient knowledge on a scale never-before suspected, Burke and Halberg began a multi-year quest over several continents to find that a variety of sophisticated approaches used known, natural electromagnetic earth energies for surprising purposes. In 2005 they combined this research into book form: Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty: Discovering the Lost Technology of the Ancient Megalith-Builders.
Their work has been featured on Coast-to-Coast AM, TV’s 20/20, Fox Networks, Discovery Channel, and History Channel.
CPAK 2008 Topic: Secrets of the Megaliths
For thousands of years our ancestors have sought out places of natural, geologically-concentrated electromagnetic energy and often built enormous megalithic structures there. The same spots were also prized for their effects on the psyche, and some remain active vision quest sites to this day. Learn about the psychic effects of certain geological structures which magnify natural electromagnetic energies by several hundred percent, how they effect your brain, where you can visit some of these sites today in the U.S. and elsewhere, and how you can locate new ones, perhaps quite near your home.

John Anthony West is a writer, scholar, Pythagorean, and rebel Egyptologist, having traveled to this region more than 100 times. He is the author of The Traveler’s Key to Ancient Egypt, and consulting editor for the Traveler’s Key series. His previous book, Serpent in the Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt is an exhaustive study of the revolutionary Egyptological work of the French mathematician and Orientalist, the late R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz.
In The Case for Astrology, West presents compelling new evidence that corroborates the astrological premise: that correlations exist between events in the sky and on Earth, and that correspondences exist between the human personality and the positions of the planets at birth.
West won an Emmy Award for his 1993 NBC Special Documentary The Mystery of the Sphinx, hosted by Charlton Heston.
John Anthony West is today the leading authority and proponent of the ‘Symbolist’ school of Egyptology, an alternative interpretation of ancient Egyptian culture advanced by the French scholar and philosopher, R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz (1891-1962).
CPAK 2006 Topic:The Four Cowboys of Apocalypse 2.0
They may ride white stallions and wear white Stetsons, and spread televised ‘tidings of comfort and joy’, but they are not necessarily the Good Guys. This talk examines Capitalism, Patriotism, Democracy and Technology and their roles within the Precessional Yuga Cycle.

Dr. Geoff Marcy
Dr. Marcy, Professor of Astronomy at UC Berkeley, is one of the leading astronomers in the world today. His research has focused on the detection of extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs. His team has discovered 110 extrasolar planets (as of Jan 2006), allowing study of their masses and orbits. Among the planets discovered are the first multiple-planet system, the first Saturn-mass planet, the first Neptune-mass planet, and the first transiting planet. Ongoing work is designed to study the mass distribution of planets and the eccentricity of their orbits. The 5-year goal is to find Jupiter analogs at 5 AU. Dr. Marcy is participating in Berkeley’s new “Center for Integrative Planetary Science”, designed to study the formation, geophysics, chemistry and evolution of planets.
Geoff Marcy has been on ABC Nightline with Ted Koppel, CBS Nightly News, PBS Nova, CNN, BBC, David Letterman and many other television programs. He has also been highlighted in Time Magazine (Cover Story), Newsweek, Discover Magazine (Space Scientist of the Year) and a wide assortment of newspapers and magazines throughout the world. Honored by the National Academy of Sciences, American Astronomical Society, the National Science Foundation, Geoff is arguably the most distinguished astronomer of the modern era.

Dr. Claude Swanson was educated as a physicist at MIT and Princeton University. During those years he worked at the MIT Science Teaching Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory and a Virginia cyclotron. At Princeton he received the National Science Foundation Fellowship and Putnam Fellowship. His Ph.D. thesis at Princeton was done in the “Gravity Group,” which focuses on experimental cosmology and astronomy, and was headed by Nobel laureate Robert Dicke.
Swanson conducted postgraduate work at Princeton and Cornell Universities on the design of superconducting plasma containment vessels for fusion energy systems. He then began work for Aeronautical Research Associates of Princeton, a consulting company, and later formed his own consulting company which carried out studies in applied physics for commercial and governmental agencies, including DuPont, United Technologies, the U.S. Army and Navy, DARPA and the CIA, among many others.
For the last fifteen years, interspersed with his conventional professional career in applied physics, Dr. Swanson has pursued investigations into “unconventional physics.” His principal interest has been unified field theory, the so-called “Theory of Everything” which could explain the universe at the deepest possible level. This has led him to investigate many aspects of the paranormal, which appear to be completely real phenomena which violate our present science. Paranormal phenomena, which have now been proven in the laboratory in many cases, offer a window into the deeper universe, the mysteries of consciousness, and unlock new forces and principles which conventional science has only begun to glimpse. He is the author of The Synchronized Universe.
