Keith Seland is educating humankind in preparation for assured global recognition and future relationships with extraterrestrial intelligences. Studying humans’ cosmic archaeology proves our ancestors had many such celestial experiences that paved the road for our successes with ET. He introduces audiences to the new science field of ancient archaeoastronomy, and discusses recent field work discoveries from Ancient Turkey (the Tepes of Anatolia), Egypt, and Native America proving the “gods” of the Neolithic and Holocene epoch were influential in shaping our species’ evolution. Related topics from his new book title, The Humaniverse Guide: We Are Them; They Are Us are also highlighted, as well as his travel, just days after this presentation, on a new expedition to Peru, Bolivia and Easter Island. These ancient influences have shaped modern thinking and opinion about the ET agenda. If we are to successfully evolve into a world inclusive of relationships with intelligent beings from outside Earth, Keith first will help us drive through the constraints holding us back. These will become the most fantastic learning experience humankind will ever undertake as a species.

Come enjoy the ride as the Rocks Continue to Talk! for eighteen years. His worldwide exploration and disclosure projects have led to the publication of research papers and three book titles branded in The Humaniverse Guide® science education platform. A fourth title is at the publisher in the edit review process. Keith’s 2025 work begins in the field with an expedition to Peru, Bolivia, and Easter Island in just a few weeks. His lecture series will highlight more discoveries from South America in the investigation of ancient archaeoastronomy, cosmology, space science and their spiritual connections to modern humankind, merging his recent discoveries from Native America, Meso-America, Egypt, and Anatolia (Turkey).

Keith helps his audiences learn a lot from our ancestral cultures to help promote and construct a proactive plan for an existence that includes global acknowledgment and future permanent relationships with ET. His education platform, The Humaniverse Guide ®, includes a website, YouTube, and Facebook channels; all identified by The Humaniverse title and brand. All publications are available at booksellers worldwide. Get the Midwest MUFON newsletter by sending an email to [email protected].
