Megalithomania Tours 2025 through 2027
Megalithomania, led by Hugh Newman and JJ Ainsworth, has been running ancient sites tours since 2006 and is one of the longest-established groups working in the field of megalithic research. Their work spans Turkey, Egypt, the British Isles, and South America, with frequent collaboration from researchers such as Andrew Collins, Arianna Mendo, and Enrico Gelain. The focus is on megalithic construction, sacred landscapes, astronomical alignment, and early engineering, viewed through a comparative, cross-cultural lens.
What makes Megalithomania tours compelling is the depth that comes from returning to the same sites over many years. Hugh and his team don’t just visit locations, they know them, having built relationships, refined interpretations, and compared patterns across continents through repeated fieldwork. That experience translates into more time where it counts, better access, and conversations shaped by long-term observation rather than first impressions. If you want to understand how ancient sites connect across cultures and landscapes, and you value perspective built over decades rather than a single theory, Megalithomania offers a grounded and deeply informed way to explore that bigger picture.

UnchartedX Tours 2025 through 2027
UnchartedX, led by Ben van Kerkwyk, is centered on close-range investigation of ancient sites, with a strong focus on precision stonework, advanced engineering, and unresolved technical questions. Working alongside collaborators such as the Snake Bros (Russ and Kyle Allen) and Yousef Awyan, Ben has helped bring renewed attention to how ancient structures were actually built, measured, and finished, particularly in Egypt. The work stays grounded in what can be observed on site, not abstract theory.
UnchartedX tours are about getting close to the evidence and staying there long enough for it to matter. You spend real time with the stone, noticing details most visitors never see, sharing observations as they happen, and following lines of inquiry without a rigid script. The experience is active, social, and engaging, blending serious curiosity with an easygoing rhythm. If you want a tour that keeps things hands-on, experiential, and driven by what’s right in front of you, this approach delivers.

Why consider joining one of these ancient site tours?
For 2025 through 2027, traveling with independent researchers changes the experience entirely. You spend more time at the sites that matter, engage with ideas in context, and explore locations that standard itineraries often overlook or simplify. Instead of being guided through a preset narrative, you’re encouraged to observe, question, and connect the dots for yourself. The people drawn to these tours tend to share that mindset, which leads to conversations and connections that become part of the journey, not just a side effect of it.
