Over 100,000 megaliths once covered the French region of Bretagne to the point where it resembled a forest of stone. It is the world’s largest megalithic metropolis.

And why were stones as tall as sixty feet transported from afar?

In his latest documentary, bestselling author and researcher Freddy Silva examines these regions — along with England — and finds they all share common characteristics: the selective choice of stone, areas of gravity and electr...

CPAK brings together researchers, authors, explorers, and just curious people to reexamine history — a history that has generally been written by scholars who classify myth and folklore of a higher age as “fairytales.”Nowadays, evolution has been interpreted to remove the Creator, ignore cycles, or disallow a distant golden age, even though every great culture that ever existed tells us they are real.
