MEGALITHS, MUSIC and the MIND

Did our ancient ancestors accidentally put us on the road to Western Civilization by listening to sound that changed their brains?

We are still evolving! Are we in danger of losing something because of the way we listen today?

Can we possibly excavate a listening tradition/practice/experience that's been buried for thousands of years in order to help modern people live better?

New discoveries in Neuroscience are augmenting the already multi-disciplinary study of Archaeoacoustics in a fascinating investigation of ancient beginnings.

What Happened When Monumental Architecture Began?

Our mission is to bring the prehistoric world that shaped western civilization into the open -- where everybody can see it, understand it and recover parts that can make our lives better! Let's remove all the filters installed by history and look closely at the pure, basic core of human creativity in extraordinary bloom.

WHY?
Because the more we know about what happened in the past that shaped the present,

the better chance we have of making intelligent decisions for our future.
