Location: Zayed University Convention Center - Dubai Academic City - Dubai, UAEHow valid is the 2012 prophecy of the Maya culture and does it really predict the end of days? 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?
Following the success of the first International Conference on Ancient Studies in Dubai, the organizers have decided to launch an even more ambitious event, the ICAS Dubai 2010 which brings together twelve of the world’s most prominent researchers into the origins of civilisation and the roots of the human adventure on this planet. Speakers include bestselling authors Graham Hancock (Lost Civilisations), Robert Bauval (The Orion Mystery and the lost symbol), John Major Jenkins (2012 and the Mayan Prophecy), Ahmed Osman (the Origins of the Arab people), Dr. Robert Schoch (the age of the Sphinx) and Michael Cremo (extreme antiquity of civilisation). New research and dramatic discoveries will be presented that challenge the established views and put into question who we really are, where do we come from and where are we going.
