Robert Bauval, co-author of bestsellers such as The Orion Mystery (1994), Secret Chamber(1999) and Keeper of Genesis (1997), and a great friend of the Questing Conference and Megalithomania, presents the quest of discovery behind his book Imhotep: Architect of the Cosmos, co-written with astrophysicist Thomas Brophy. In this thought-provoking book, the authors uncover the mystery of Imhotep, the architect of the step pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara. Based on their research at the Saqqara pyramid field, Bauval re-examines astronomical alignments and other design features to uncover the true origins and genius of Imhotep. In this lecture he follows clues that leadsus on a fascinating magical mystery tour, beginning at Saqqara, to Upper Egypt and the stones of Nabta Playa, and the Neolithic peoples who placed them there. http://www.robertbauval.co.uk(Please note there were issues with the audio, but we did our best to fix it in the edit)Filmed at the Origins Conference, London in November 2013.http://www.megalithomania.co.u....k/origins.htmlCopyri Megalithomania 2013/2020.

The Magna Carta is often heralded as the foundation of modern democracy, embodying principles that would eventually shape notions of constitutional law and individual liberties in Western societies.
In contrast, the Mande Charter, or the Kouroukan Fouga, crafted in the expansive plains of the Mali Empire under the leadership of Sundiata Keita, also in the early 13th century, serves as a testament to a different kind of legislative history.
