Richard Shing, Archaeologist, Vanuatu Cultural Centre, gives this lecture entitled 'Archaeological research and community collaboration and participation in the Republic of Vanuatu' at The Australian National University on 23 March 2012.

For a long time Pacific Islanders have been wary of archaeology, often associating it with grave digging, a practice that of course in many Pacific cultures, is considered sacrilegious. Over the last 15 years the Vanuatu Cultural Centre (VCC), in collaboration with a number of foreign researchers, and guided by the Vanuatu Cultural Centre's research policy, has been running an active program of increasing public awareness in relation to archaeology.

Excerpt of the Antimatter Radio Show, July 23 and June 23, 2009. Host: Jeffrey Grupp. Web site: www.AntimatterRadio.com. Did you know that there are skulls in museums now that we can prove are extraterrestrials. They are usually claimed to be primitive peoples practicing body modification, but that is debunked in this excerpt from the Antimatter Radio Show. This video shows simple proof of extraterrestrial existence, no joke. This is the firmest scientific proof there is. We now know the truth!
