THE HEXAGON, THE SOLSTICE AND THE KIVA
I am happy to introduce to you Mr. Chris Hardaker. He is a very interesting man with a real genuine sense of just "being" and has discovered, published and produced very intriguing studies circumscribing past origins of man, ancient technology, geometry and other fascinating studies. Chris is seen in this photo at Hueyatlaco in 2001, a 200,000 year old archaeology site outside Puebla, Mexico. Colette Dowell
Chris Hardaker was born in Brooklyn, New York to a Brooklyn mother and a WW2 RAF pilot who was born in Mysore, India. When he was nine, his father took the family on a trip to his home in India, and then to Southeast Asia where we visited Bangkok and the Cambodian ruins of Ankor Wat, and ended up in Australia to visit his two brothers. Hardaker got an early view of the world, and supplemented by the constant brainwashing that came from a house full of National Geographics, it was natural that he was attracted to anthropology and archaeology. He has been a New World dirt archaeologist for over thirty years. With a BA from San Diego State University (1976) and a MA from the University of Arizona (1989), he is an explorer of principles that will further archaeological studies and interpretations. His involvement with Valsequillo arose from his investigations of fracture mechanics and stone tool making which cultivated a strong conviction in pre-Clovis horizons in the New World. [[Refs./website]] For the last 15 years he has also explored a fascination with Classical Geometry and its occurrence the world over in the form of symbols and architecture, and focused this newfound tool on the Native Americans of the Southwest and the Chaco Canyon ruins. He is also working to introduce this kind of math to K-12 curriculums. [[Refs. NAG Website]]
