Beyond Neanderthal

There is an energy force in the world known to the Ancients that has largely escaped the interest of the media, the global warming soothsayers and the oil companies seeking alternatives to Neanderthal fire - to fossil fuels. Why?

There are allusions to this energy in the Chinese I-Ching, in the Hebrew Torah, in the Christian Bible, in the Hindu Sanskrit Ramayana and in the Muslim Holy Qur an. There are scientists, too, who today believe it was the key to building the Egyptian pyramids.

Its force is strongest within the Earth s magnetic triangles. Near one of these the Bermuda Triangle circumstances bring together four very different people. Patrick Gallagher is a mining engineer searching for a viable alternative to fossil fuels; Tara Geoffrey, an airline pilot on holidays in the Caribbean; Yehuda Rosenberg, a physicist preoccupied with ancient history; and Mehmet Kuhl, a minerals broker, a Sufi Muslim with an unusual past.

Can they unravel the secrets of the Ancients that may also hold the answer to the future of civilization?

South African born Brian Bloom was trained as a portfolio manager on the stock market and was the Strategic Planning Officer of one of that country s largest industrial conglomerates before he acquired a small, insolvent manufacturing business and nursed it back to financial health. In the 1980s, to keep his mind honed, he became a high profile and highly respected financial columnist. In 1985, when he discovered that world was heading for Peak Oil, he decided to change direction and in 1987, migrated to Australia where he became a Vice President in Citicorp s Venture Capital Division.

For the past 18 years he has been a strategic adviser to emerging high growth businesses. But he has also been patiently and persistently examining every alternative technology he could identify.

Beyond Neanderthal is the result of well over twenty years of research.
