Past CPAK Presenters
Over the last five years CPAK has become the premiere gathering place for those interested in ancient cultures, lost knowledge and the cycle of the ages. Leading explorers, authors, professors and scientists make presentations and examine the latest archaeological finds, astronomical research and new interpretations of structures, myth and folklore that shed light on the true history of mankind. The result is an epiphany of awareness as we collectively begin to understand where we came from and where we are going in this ascending age.

Thomas Brophy has a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado, was a staff research scientist at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, Boulder, with NASA interplanetary spacecraft projects, and was a National Science Foundation exchange scientist with the University of Tokyo and Japan Space Program. A member of one of the Voyager II spacecraft instrument teams, he developed theoretical understandings for data from the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), especially planetary rings and planetary dynamics. He was also involved in defining science goals for future space mission instrumentation. He devised a novel method of testing fundamental theories of planet formation by searching for extrasolar debris, that was reported on by Nature magazine. Those interests in general fundamental theory, and experience teaching at the University level, led to broader studies involving the non-calculable and immeasurable aspects of the universe, and Integral philosophy. |

Uwe Homann is a native of Germany, living in
rural Alberta, Canada for the last 25 years. An electrical engineer by background,
his interest in astronomy started with a visit to the Great Pyramid 25 years
ago. Over the last 10 years he began to translate and interpret some of
his father, Karl-Heinz Homann's original work on precession
and other astronomical observations from the original German, data Karl-Heinz has been compiling
since settling with his family under the clear and sunny skies of north-western
Alberta in 1988. In 2000 Uwe and his father founded the Sirius Research
Group, and in the course of his own studies and research in astronomy Uwe
has published a number of papers and articles. The main focus of his work
is to provide an honest and objective scientific explanation on the celestial
phenomenon of the Precession of the Equinox.

John Dering is a physicist, specializing in electromagnetic
and acustical wave harmonics. We are constantly being affected by local
and celestial magnetic fields. Dering will show how even subtle changes
from another star (over long periods of time) can have dramatic effects
on the earth and life on the planet in general. He will present the hypothesis:
as the sun moves through space, it carries the Earth in and out of an EM
field, producing “seasons” or ages of man with the eon
of a great year. |

Geoff Marcy, Professor of Astronomy at UC Berkeley,
is one of the leading astronomers in the world today. His research has focused
on the detection of extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs. His team has discovered
110 extrasolar planets (as of Jan 2006), allowing study of their masses
and orbits. Among the planets discovered are the first multiple-planet system,
the first Saturn-mass planet, the first Neptune-mass planet, and the first
transiting planet. Ongoing work is designed to study the mass distribution
of planets and the eccentricity of their orbits. The 5-year goal is to find
Jupiter analogs at 5 AU. Dr. Marcy is participating in Berkeley's new "Center
for Integrative Planetary Science", designed to study the formation, geophysics,
chemistry and evolution of planets.

Richard C. Hoagland is a former museum space
science Curator; a former NASA Consultant; and, during the historic Apollo
Missions to the Moon, was science advisor to Walter Cronkite and CBS News.
Since 1983, Hoagland has focused primarily on even more astounding possibilities
for ancient intelligent life within the inner solar system -- forming an
independent, multi-disciplinary scientific Team (The Enterprise Mission)
for analysis of NASA (and other nations') spacecraft images of possible
intelligently-designed ruins on Mars (beginning with Viking data of a region
called "Cydonia"), and on the Moon (utilizing both unmanned
and manned NASA and Soviet spacecraft lunar imaging).

Laird Scranton, a software designer from Albany, New York, is the author of two books on African and Egyptian cosmology and language. His focus is on the study of comparative cosmology, which is the study of the classic myths, symbols, deities, cosmological concepts, rituals and words of various ancient and modern cultures. His emphasis is on defining fundamental similarities between the cosmologies of the modern-day Dogon tribe of Mali, ancient Egypt, and Buddhism. These studies have culminated in a new symbolic approach to interpreting Egyptian hieroglyphic words that is based on words and definitions drawn from comparative cosmology, rather than the traditional comparative texts of the Rosetta Stone. His articles include three Dogon-related topics in Temple University’s forthcoming Encyclopedia of African Religion, and a recent article in support of Marcel Griaule’s Dogon cosmology in the University of Chicago’s academic journal Anthropology News. |
