Europe's Lost Civilization

On June 10, 2008, in News, by Michael

While at the Megalithomania conference last month our ‘Standing with Stones’ stand was right next to Peter Marshall’s bookstand.

Megalithomania '08

On May 24, 2008, in Events, by Michael

Just wanted to say what a great time Sharon & I had over last weekend. Hats off to Hugh and John for organising and holding the weekend together.

Speakers were, on Saturday: myself; Peter Marshall; Jay Wakefield & Reinoud de Jonge; Chris Morton & Ceri Louise Thomas; Tony Perrot; Tom Graves; David H. Childress, and on Sunday: Kate Masters; Philip Coppens; Nicholas Mann & Philippa Martin; Sam Samir Osmanagich; David Furlong; Hamish Miller.

Amazing.

Details of the event – and, I’m sure in the fullness of time some photos – can be found here.
