For over thirty years Robin Heath has researched evidence for a prehistoric science embedded within the surviving megalithic monuments in Britain, Ireland and France. A leading UK field researcher on megalithic monuments, Robin is an independent researcher and a seasoned presenter. He has written and published nine books, co-authoring a further two, one with John Michell. Robin's books reveal verifiable evidence that a high cultural technology was built into the astronomical, geometrical and metrological qualities of many ancient monuments. But the subject of megalithic science is much more than this, for it also affirms the hermetic adage of 'As above, so below', and reveals a comprehensive prehistoric cosmology. With a background in engineering, Robin graduated with a BSc Hons in Electronics and Engineering Science from UCNW Bangor in 1970. He initially worked as a Research & Development engineer in semiconductor design, microliths, then technical marketing took him around many countries in the Far East. Eventually, after two children came along, Robin became a lecturer in Mathematics and Electronics, and in 1990 he left this profession as Head of Technology in a College of Further Education to explore the megaliths of Brittany for two years. Robin lives in coastal West Wales, where he and his wife Tricia keep an organic small-holding. www.robinheath.info

Some of the earliest artistic expressions link the dawn of the magical imagination with representations of the female form.  We’ll be looking at images from deep prehistory and discussing how they can be relevant to us today, and how we might connect to the creators of this magical art

Jon White is the creator behind the Crecganford channel on YouTube and the Mythology and Folklore Database. He studied Anglo-Saxon literature and old Norse literature, before expanding his research into Indo-European, and then Eurasian mythology. Although formally retired he can still be occasionally persuaded to help academics and institutions with research and lectures as they quest to unlock the oldest stories through proven scientific methods. The result of this is the reconstruction of stories that have been lost to us, not told for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, revealing humanities earliest questions, and how they perceived the world, their lives, and death.

An illustrated talk about the generally accepted as well as the more controversial astronomical alignments at Stonehenge. Which of the theories are plausible, and which aren’t? Did the builders really have the depth of understanding of the movements of the Sun and Moon that some believe they did? Can it actually be used to predict eclipses?

Simon is an astronomer who has been fascinated by Stonehenge for over 30 years and has appeared on both the Sky at Night and Stargazing Live! talking about the astronomy of the monument. He worked for English Heritage at Stonehenge for 6 years and now leads private tours of the World Heritage Site and hosts after-hours visits for small groups inside the stone circle. www.stonesofstonehenge.org.uk
