Giants On Record: Anomalous Skeletons in the Academic Literature

In this webinar Hugh will share his research on the thousands of giant skeletons that have been found in North America and look at the phenomenon based upon the written evidence in the academic record. News reports of giants could be exaggerated or even lies to sell newspapers, but when the academics repeat the same descriptions of oversized, powerful skeletons over a 100 year period in different parts of the country, the study of ‘giantology’ must be taken seriously. Hugh will share some examples of the writings of doctors, professors and heads of major institutions discussing their interaction with giant skeletons, massive jaws and double rows of teeth. 

Hugh Newman is a world explorer, megalithomaniac and author of Earth Grids: The Secret Pattern of Gaia’s Sacred Sites (2008); co-author of Giants On Record: America’s Hidden History, Secrets in the Mounds and the Smithsonian Files with Jim Vieira (2015), and is published in three 'Ancient Origins' e-books. He has been a regular guest on History Channel’s Ancient Aliens and Search for the Lost Giants and organises the annual Megalithomania conferences and tours and co-organises the Origins Conference in London with Andrew Collins. His latest project is a follow up to Giants On Record, investigating giant accounts in the British Isles.

The Mystery of Father Crespi & the Missing Golden Artifacts

The story of Father Crespi is a mysterious and controversial account of a priest in Ecuador involving claims of unknown civilizations, strange golden artifacts, a subterranean cave system containing a metallic library, depictions of strange figures connecting America to Sumeria, symbols depicting an unknown language, evidence of extra-terrestrial contact, and a Vatican conspiracy involving thousands of missing artifacts.

But how much of the story is true? In this Webinar, Ancient Origins’ Co-Founder, Dr Ioannis Syrigos, will talk about his investigation into the Father Crespi puzzle, including his exploration of the mysterious Tayos Caves in Ecuador where some of the artifacts were allegedly found, insights from the Shuar Indians, and his exclusive access to the hidden vaults at the Central Bank of Ecuador containing thousands of Father Crespi’s artifacts.

Dr Syrigos will also share photographs of artifacts never publicly shown before.

How to Mummify Yourself… The Relatively Unknown Practice of Japanese Self-Mummification

In the 1960s, a team of researchers came across numerous mummies enshrined in special temple halls in northern Japan.  Amazingly, they had preserved themselves while still alive, using a procedure virtually unknown to the outside world.  If it were not for their discovery, the techniques used and the reasons behind their suicidal undertaking might have been forever lost.  Join us for a Webinar that describes the individuals who carried out this process, how they succeeded in mummifying themselves, and the incredible reasons behind the act.  With pictures, personal accounts, and scientific and religious explanations to explain this phenomenon, the Webinar will be informative and unique. 

Hosted by Ken Jeremiah, author of Living Buddhas, the only English-language book about auto-mummification.
