Meet to Explore Mysteries of Ancient Civilisations
DUBAI — A conference that will explore the mysteries of lost and ancient civilisations and hear from renowned archaeologists will be held in Dubai.
Robert Bauval, renowned archaeologist, announced at a press conference that the International Conference of Ancient Studies would be held at Zayed University on February 12-13, 2010.
Bauval, who was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1948 to parents of Belgian origin, said that Alexandria was a real model of a cosmopolitan city for hosting different people from around the world. “The same situation is here in Dubai, which is home to numerous nationalities and races,” Bauval said.
The event will uncover interesting secrets about year 2012 and examine if there is any scientific proof that some cataclysmic disaster might occur that year.
“Was there one or more ‘lost’ civilisations? How far back does the story of humanity really go? Is the myth of Atlantis rooted in truth? When and where did the Arabs originate? Is Atlantis a myth or reality? Who built The Great Pyramid of Egypt, how and why? Where are lost civilisations before history began?” Bauval asked.
Dr Mohammed Noaimat, chairman of Adbox Events, said the event will delve into some of the world’s most ancient and mysterious civilisations as well as the suggested theories of their enigmatic disappearance.
“The second version of the ICAS will unveil the origins of civilisations and how very ancient people acquired scientific knowledge only rediscovered in the past 300 years,” Noaimat said.
Following the conference’s debut last year, the organisers have decided to launch a more ambitious event in 2010. The 2010 conference will bring together 12 of the world’s most prominent researchers into the origins of civilisations and the roots of the human adventure on this planet.
“They are to reveal the latest discoveries, discuss and debate the findings that challenge the traditional and orthodox views on our distant ancestors, their origins and their advanced knowledge,” Noaimat said.
New research and discoveries will be presented that would challenge established views and put into question who we really are, where have we come from and where are we going.
Meanwhile, Zayed University Dubai will host two simultaneous exhibitions: of Easter Island artefacts and ancient art, and Myths of Easter Island by Rapa Nui artist Christian Tuki.
