Polynesian Navigation
The Polynesians were masters of navigation and between 1500BC and1300AD, they travelled throughout the Pacific, settling on the islands of what we now call Polynesia. They completed their journeys of hundreds and even thousands of miles without any advance technology or navigation instruments. Instead, they relied on natural clues from the clouds and waves, the behaviour of birds and understanding patterns in the stars. Using great skill and knowledge, they could set their course, determine their latitude and find the way to their destination.
This talk, by Dr John Macdonald will explore some of the methods they used.
The Origin of Numbers and the Foundations of Civilisation
Hugh examines the Star Maps of Gwynedd —over 1,000,000 acres of star maps on the ground in North Wales. Hugh argues that the Star Maps of Gwynedd, composed of 48 constellations, were created by an ancient pre-Younger Dryas people who observed the heavens to understand their movements, and that these people designed and named the constellations to identify their movements over several precessional cycles
Phoenician voyagers – Did they really make it to the America?
Did the ancient Phoenicians, master sailors of the Mediterranean, venture across the Atlantic long before Christopher Columbus? This talk explores the groundbreaking Phoenicians Before Columbus expedition, which aimed to test this bold hypothesis by recreating a transatlantic crossing in a replica Phoenician vessel. Drawing on archaeological, linguistic, and historical evidence, Philip Beale FRGS examines the possibility that these ancient mariners reached the Americas, leaving behind subtle but tantalizing traces.
Near Death and Out of Body Experiences
An NDE (near-death experience) is a vivid experience someone remembers after coming close to death, often during a cardiac arrest or other medical crisis. People describe different things: a deep sense of peace, seeing a bright light, feeling outside their body, meeting people who have died, or reviewing moments of their life. Some experiences are frightening rather than peaceful.
