Join us in welcoming Graham Hancock, The Fight for the Past: Sedona 19-20 April 2025

Humanity’s past is the birthright of us all. So why are archaeologists determined to control the narrative, to convince us that their interpretation of prehistory is the only legitimate one, and to mock and smear the work of those who suggest alternative perspectives? Is it just pride and arrogance on the part of the self-styled experts? Or is something more sinister going on? Over the two days of 19th-20th April 2025, Graham Hancock will give a series of presentations drilling down into this issue and will present the latest evidence for a lost civilization of the Ice Age destroyed in the apocalypse that brought the Ice Age to an end.

This is an exceptional opportunity to engage with Graham Hancock, known for his thought-provoking insights into ancient civilizations and human history. As the only U.S. event Graham will conduct in 2025, this is your chance to hear directly from one of the leading voices in the ancient civilization discourse.

10-11:am Randall Carlson “Enchanting the Landscape” “Throughout the world--in countries as far apart as China, Ireland, Iceland, and Madagascar--there survive records and traditions of whole nations being divided into twelve tribes and twelve regions, each corresponding to one of the twelve signs of the zodiac and to one of the twelve months of the year. Best known are the twelve tribes of Israel under King Solomon, but there have been many others. Wherever they occur, they are associated with an ideal social order and a golden age of humanity”.  from the book Twelve-Tribe Nations: Sacred Number and the Golden Age, (by John Michell & Christine Rhone). Randall gives us a glimpse of the interconnecting stories around the planet.

4-6pm Why the past isn’t safe in the hands of archaeologists. Humanity’s past is our shared inheritance. Archaeologists have no right to claim a monopoly over it, to seek to control what is said about it, to demand that their interpretation of prehistory be accepted as the only legitimate one, or to mock and smear the work of those who suggest alternative perspectives.

In his closing presentation Graham will argue that we can never truly know the past if we insist – as most archaeologists do – that our route to the unknown can only be through what’s known already, if we limit our attention, as most archaeologists do, to “tools and trash”, and if our primary career goal isn’t to challenge the status quo – a risky move for any archaeologist – but to seek out evidence that reinforces it.

6pm-8pm Book signing in the Auditorium. Dinner food trucks on-site and a concession stand. Farewell Social hour DJ Gabriel BE in the Lobby
