This has been a look back into history that brings us to today … so, what is going on now? … who are the<br />

people that currently hold all this together and who work to drive things forward? Here, I go back to the names I<br />

mentioned in my introduction to this chapter; those <strong>of</strong> David Talbott, Wallace Thornhill and Dr Donald E Scott.<br />

These are the men whose work so impressed me and started me on a road <strong>of</strong> education and amazing discovery in<br />

early 2010. I sincerely thank all <strong>of</strong> them for the fulfilment I have experienced and the new understanding I now<br />

have. So what have these chaps been doing? Well, the current major development and education program seems<br />

to have really started with David (Dave) Talbott and Wallace (Wal) Thornhill getting together and comparing<br />

notes on their complementary areas <strong>of</strong> lifetime research. From this they ended up agreeing that the links and<br />

overlaps between their areas <strong>of</strong> research were obvious and that a much bigger story was there to be told. This<br />

was a number <strong>of</strong> years ago, and since that time, together they have produced books, articles, videos, websites<br />

and so many other ways <strong>of</strong> getting EU information out. They look for alliances with other forward looking<br />

science organisations and they organise and personally attend public conferences worldwide, all to get the EU<br />

model out to open-minded folks in astro-science and to the interested public as well. I would hazard a guess that<br />

the breadth and depth <strong>of</strong> their combined personal efforts would be a real problem to try to quantify.<br />

Dave Talbott [5-9a] is an American mythologist, science author and scholar<br />

who lives and works in Beaverton, Oregon, the place <strong>of</strong> his birth. His<br />

university education led him to a lifetime interest in education itself, and<br />

he is responsible for establishing organisations in his home state aimed at<br />

improving the quality <strong>of</strong> education for all and at every level. His commitment<br />

to social improvement for fellow citizens has been courageous, effective<br />

and is highly commendable. Dave is another who found Velikovsky’s<br />

original work fascinating and who thereafter decided there was more to<br />

investigate about aspects <strong>of</strong> our ancient history that indicated the possibility<br />

<strong>of</strong> some alternative truths. The upshot is that his subsequent work has been,<br />

to say the very least, wide-ranging, in-depth and impressively clear and<br />

effective. From his developed point <strong>of</strong> view, Dave has written articles and<br />

books as a modern update to what Velikovsky’s original work covered. In<br />

doing this, he has been the catalyst for publicising the EU model and for<br />

igniting today’s fire under the whole subject area. His modern views on<br />

ancient history and mythology have been fuel for the personal fires <strong>of</strong> a large body <strong>of</strong> interested people; some<br />

<strong>of</strong> whom are eminent scholars and scientists who have begun to look for themselves at these subjects from a<br />

new perspective. It is especially significant that in terms <strong>of</strong> this breakthrough with respected people in academia<br />

and science, and together with the existing work <strong>of</strong> the Natural Philosophy Alliance [5-9b] David (Dave) Talbott<br />

, a new and effective<br />

interdisciplinary movement in scientific research has been formed.<br />
