    How 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?

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.
