Transdisciplinary Research and Educational Outreach
We assemble data from many areas of science to illuminate human developments in Euro/Levantine prehistory and the story of Western Civilization. Our goal is to bring credible evidence from antiquity to meaningful purpose in the present, and to facilitate a wider perspective for 21st-century professionals.
MEGALITHS, MUSIC and the MIND
New discoveries in Neuroscience are augmenting the study of Archaeoacoustics in a fascinating investigation of ancient beginnings.
This short article appearing in the “Letters” section at Academia.edu has now been read in 92 countries across a sea of disciplines.
A major book is now being prepared for publication in early 2024.

A note to seekers of ancient mysteries:
Be smart. The selective manipulation of data to support a personal theory about aliens and/or lost "advanced" societies amounts to saying that an estimated third of the world's present population and their ancestors could not possibly have had the intelligence to do what they did. "Somebody else must have taught them.”
This proposition and the 21st Century notion of what is advanced is subjective and culturally stifled. It threatens to shatter already fragile self-esteem in order to sell entertainment in a world of unedited commercial media bombardment. Please learn how to separate pseudoscience from credible research. Real researchers cite evidence.
