2012 CPAK PRESENTERS

Christopher Dunn

Christopher Dunn has an extensive background as a craftsman, starting his career as an indentured apprentice in his hometown of Manchester, England. Recruited by an aerospace manufacturing company, he immigrated to the United States in 1969. Over the past 49 years, Chris has worked at every level of high-tech manufacturing from machinist, toolmaker, programmer, and operator of high-powered industrial lasers, Project Engineer, and Laser Operations Manager. For the past 16 year, he has served as Human Resources Director for a Midwest aerospace manufacturer. Chris’s pyramid odyssey began in 1977 after he read Peter Tompkins’ book Secrets of the Great Pyramid. His immediate reaction to learning of the Great Pyramid’s precision and design characteristics was to consider that this edifice may have had an original purpose that differed from conventional opinion. After further research and study of source material on various theories, Chris concluded that it must have originally been built to provide a highly technical society with energy—in short, it was a very large machine. Discovering the purpose of this machine and documenting his case has taken the better part of twenty years of research. Chris’s book, The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt, published in 1998, describes a holistic energy device that is harmonically coupled with the Earth and its inhabitants.

Chris has published over a dozen magazine articles, including the much quoted “Advanced Machining in Ancient Egypt” in Analog, August 1984, and has had his research referenced in over a dozen books on Egypt. In the United States he has appeared on PAX Television, the Travel Channel, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, Lifetime Television, and the History Channel. Chris’s second book, Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt: Advanced Engineering in the Temples of the Pharaohs, focuses on his research into the manufacturing capabilities of the ancient Egyptians. Through his engineer’s eye and camera, he reveals previously overlooked magisterial characteristics of Egyptian architectural and manufacturing wizardry.

Dr. Schoch is also a member of the Advisory Board, Ananda College of Living Wisdom.
Dr. Schoch has been quoted extensively in the media for his pioneering research recasting the date of the Great Sphinx of Egypt using geological analyses, as well as for his work on ancient cultures and monuments in such diverse countries as Peru, Bosnia, and Japan. Dr. Schoch’s research has been instrumental in spurring renewed attention to the interrelationships between geological and astronomical phenomena, natural catastrophes, and the early history of civilization. Dr. Schoch has appeared on many radio and television shows and is featured in the Emmy-winning documentary The Mystery of the Sphinx which first aired on NBC. He has been a featured speaker at many national and international conferences.

Dr. Schoch is the author or coauthor of both technical and popular books, including the trilogy with R. A. McNally: Voices of the Rocks: A Scientist Looks at Catastrophes and Ancient Civilizations (1999), Voyages of the Pyramid Builders: The True Origins of the Pyramids from Lost Egypt to Ancient America (2003), and Pyramid Quest: Secrets of the Great Pyramid and the Dawn of Civilization (2005). A recent book publication by Dr. Schoch is The Parapsychology Revolution: A Concise Anthology of Paranormal and Psychical Research (compilation, and a hundred pages of commentary, by Dr. Robert M.

He is also the coauthor of an environmental science textbook used in universities across the United States. He has contributed to numerous magazines, journals, and reviews on geology, parapsychology, and ancient civilizations.

Gregory Sams

Gregory has been bringing novel concepts to the culture since the age of 19, when in 1967 he and brother Craig opened Seed Restaurant, the UK’s first natural/organic eatery, frequented by friends John and Yoko. Ceres Grain Store in the Portobello Rd soon followed (so people could cook this food at home), then Harmony Foods and Whole Earth Foods, the UK’s first organic brands. He published Harmony Magazine…then co-published Seed, the Journal of Organic Living (people wanted to know more about these strange new foods and discover a greener lifestyle). In 1982, he created and christened the world’s first Vegeburger and was soon selling over 250,000 a week.

In 1990 Gregory left food for fractals and opened Strange Attractions, the world’s only shop ever dedicated to chaos theory, publishing and licensing fractal images worldwide. This led to his first book Uncommon Sense, the State is Out of Date, exploring the vital lessons of chaos theory for humanity. His last book, Sun of gOd, Discover the Self-Organizing Principle that Underlies Everything, re-introduces us to our Sun – the most widespread deity the world has ever known, and source of the light of life.

Jason Martell

Jason Martell recently garnered worldwide attention by recreating a working model of one of science’s most prolific mysteries – the “Baghdad Battery.” Residing in the National Museum of Iraq, the discovery of this 2,000 year old device suggests the modern day battery was not invented in 1800 by Count Alassandro Volt, but was invented almost two centuries earlier. Mr. Martell’s recreation was instrumental in proving the Baghdad Battery was capable of generating current.

All the ancient cultures speak of a time when they had a connection with beings not from earth, beings that were both spiritually and technologically more advanced than we are. Lecturing throughout the world, Mr. Martell has dedicated his studies to ancient artifacts and the Sumerian culture by using the latest in scientific research, supporting evidence and data. He corroborates his findings with principal scholars such as Zecharia Sitchin and Naval astronomer, Dr. Robert Harrington. Mr. Martell holds regular discussions with NASA scientists on the subject of Planet X, Ancient Astronauts and the structures on Mars.

For over 15 years, Mr. Jason Martell has been one of the leading researchers and lecturers specializing in ancient civilization technologies. Mr. Martell’s research has been featured worldwide on numerous television and radio networks such as The Discovery Channel, The History Channel, Sci-Fi Channel, the BBC and others
Today, Mr. Martell is working on his next scientific recreation of ancient technology based upon data obtained from Sumerian cuneiform cylinder seals from 3000 BCE. He is also in the planning stages of several international research expeditions which will focus on gaining access to ancient Sumerian artifacts, and other archeological relics not currently accessible to the public.

Larry Koler

Larry Koler is a controls engineer with over 30 years of experience primarily in the aerospace industry in the Seattle area. He has been working with Karl-Heinz Homann’s astronomical work on Sirius and has worked to digitize and graph Homann’s 20 years of hard work. He first read Sri Yukteswar’s book, The Holy Science, in 1976 and this sparked his interest in this general field.

Oana R. Ghiocel

Oana R. Ghiocel is a documentary filmmaker living in Boston, MA and Rochester, NY. Oana received a M.A. degree in Documentary and Audio Production from Emerson College in Boston, MA, and she holds previous professional degrees and graduate certificates in film production and screenwriting from Rochester Institute of Technology, NY, PCFE Film School, Prague, Czech Republic, and American University of Paris, France. Her main area of research and filming interest is related to human psychology and philosophy and ancient, pre-ancient civilizations, including proto historical legends and archeological evidence.

Over a number of years, she has studied various topics related to the CPAK Conference, such as modern and primitive human paranormal behavior;, the origin, infancy and maturity of the Old Europe civilization;, and the origin of Christianity beliefs, caveman behavior, and the huge megalithic evidence of Neanderthal proto historical civilization in the Carpathian mountains. Oana argues for a new radical interpretation of the origin of our human spiritual beliefs and faith.

In 2009, Oana co-founded Hyperion Media Inc, that is a production company dedicated to create unique documentary and fiction films that present topics and issues previously ignored, or misinterpreted by the media. As the Vice President of Hyperion Media Inc., Oana recently directed the feature documentary film “The Mystery of the Carpathian Sphinx” (www.themysteryofthecarpathiansphinxmovie.com), featuring special guest star Dr. Robert M. Schoch, and is in pre-production for a follow-up film in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania.

Hugh Newman

In his lecture, founder of Megalithomania and ancient sites explorer Hugh Newman, reveals how recent discoveries in Britain are confirming what Prof. Alexander Thom said all along – that stone circles are astronomically aligned, are part of a greater geodetic survey, encode sophisticated measurement systems, and were built using advanced geometry. Over 1000 stone circles have been recorded in Britain, but sites such as Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, Carahunge in Armenia, and Msoura in Morocco, are rewriting the dating and origins of the stone circle builders. We will take a look at who may have built them, and why. The purpose of stone circles will also come under the spotlight in this presentation, as subtle earth energies, underground water, and unusual geology, as recorded by previous CPAK speaker John Burke, have been detected at these sites. Hugh will also look at the early theories, interpretations, folklore, and effects these circles have had on antiquarians, artists and researchers since they were put back in the spotlight by John Aubrey and William Stukeley in the 1600′s and 1700′s, with some of their early insights now being confirmed by modern science.

Hugh Newman is an author, speaker, world explorer, tour host, and co-founded Megalithomania conferences and tours. As an author he has researched the Indigo child phenomenon and published a book on the subject. His most recent book, Earth Grids has been published by Wooden Books. He has released numerous DVDs of his multi-media presentations. He has articles published in the Leyhunter, Mindscape Magazine, World Explorer Magazine, the Circular, the Spiral, the Heretic, New Dawn (Australia) and numerous other publications. He has spoken at events in the UK, Malta, France, Peru, Egypt, Bosnia, Australia, South Africa, Mexico and North America. He has appeared on BBC TV, Sky Channel 200, Bosnian TV and the History Channel in the last three seasons of Ancient Aliens (that is currently being aired on History 2).
