Why Andrew Collins, Chris Dunn and "Dr. Sam" are Coming to Houston, Texas

by Peggy Sue Skipper

They are coming for a powerful one-day conference on ancient archaeological sites presented by The New Era Times. These three men are leading the search toward answers to the mysteries surrounding sites like Maccu Picchu, Stonehenge, and of course, Dr. Sam’s Bosnian Pyramid discovery.

The Unearthing Ancient Civilizations conference will be held at the Unity Pyramid in Houston, Texas on Saturday, March 5, 2011. How amazing it will be to have a conference about pyramids held in a pyramid! The day will culminate with a panel discussion and Q&A session where all three speakers will take questions from the audience and discuss the validity, correlations and/or differences in their individual theories.

Dr. Sam Osmanagich was instrumental in getting ancient archaeological sites on my radar screen, when I first met him in the spring of 2010. While not completely ignorant about the topic I had never delved very far into the subject. That has all changed and now I whole heartedly believe people need to learn more about these sites! As the saying goes, if we don’t learn from our past we are doomed to make the same mistakes. What can these ancient sites tell us about our past that could help us create a better future?

About 10 years ago I attended a family reunion—my mother’s side of the family that I had not previously known much about. I met relatives and learned about ancestors I had never heard of before. I realized some of the things about me made more sense. There were several, “Ah-ha, so …that’s where I get it from!” moments during the weekend. In many ways I had felt alienated from the family I grew up around because I was so different. The discovery that I had so many relatives with the same talents and ambitions as me was in many ways life altering.

It has become clear to me that ancient sites are the key to discovering our heritage in much the same way. It is as if we, as a species, are gradually finding out we were adopted in a sense and that our lineage could be very different than what we have been told. There are so many unanswered questions about these ancient sites, and more are being discovered all the time. Who built them? Why were they built? When were they built? Science just hasn’t effectively answered these questions for some of us.

Here’s a good example that I learned from Dr. Sam: Machu Picchu is one of the most famous of ancient sites in the world and is located high in the mountains of Peru. Dr. Sam says that clearly there were four different civilizations involved with the site and the oldest was the most advanced! Now, how is that explained? An issue never clearly addressed by the scientific community. This is just one of the many reason more and more explorers and pioneers in this field are at odds with mainstream scientific thought.

At the Unearthing Ancient Civilizations conference Dr. Sam will be speaking on his discovery of pyramids in his home country of Bosnia—the first pyramids to be discovered on the European continent. The largest pyramid in this complex is 30% larger than the largest pyramid on the Giza Plateau in Egypt.

This discovery has been very controversial in the scientific community, and Dr. Sam has been vilified on one hand and praised on the other in archaeological circles. Dr. Sam never faltered in his belief that he had discovered an important ancient site and as his excavation has continued his faith is being rewarded time and again. He has published nearly twenty titles to date with two new ones coming out just prior to the conference. Ancient History behind the Veil bridges the gap between science and spirituality, and Pyramids Around the World contains the scientific data he has accumulated throughout his career studying pyramids.

Chris Dunn began his pyramid odyssey in 1977 after he read Peter Tompkins' book, Secrets of the Great Pyramid. His immediate reaction after learning of the Great Pyramid's precision and design characteristics was to consider 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 to research. Following the 1998 publication of Chris’s book, The Giza Power Plant he has published many books and papers with his latest in 2010, Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt.

Chris 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 most recently on the History Channel in the Ancient Alien episode “The Evidence.” For more information on Chris and his work visit his website here.

Andrew Collins will be joining us from the UK, and then flying directly from Houston to South Africa to present at the Megalithomania South Africa conference—just one more piece of evidence to substantiate the huge interest in ancient sites.

Andrew is a science and history writer, and the author of various books that challenge the way we perceive the past. They include From the Ashes of Angels (1996), which theorizes that the Watchers of The Book of Enoch were shamans responsible for the Neolithic revolution, and that their homeland—the biblical Eden—was southeast Turkey, where archaeologists have recently found the oldest stone temple in the world. Gods of Eden (1998) says that Egyptian civilization is thousands of years older than is conventionally believed. Gateway to Atlantis (2000) tries to prove Plato’s Atlantis was located in Cuba and the Bahamas, and The Cygnus Mystery (2006) argues that veneration of the Cygnus constellation was responsible for the world’s earliest sky religions.

His most recent book, Beneath the Pyramids, explores Giza’s cave underworld, rediscovered by the author in 2008. Andrew, born in 1957, lives with his wife Sue near Marlborough, Wiltshire. For more information about Andrew visit his website here.
