Profiles
Christian
O'Brien read Natural Sciences at Christ's College, Cambridge
and spent many years as an exploration geologist in Iran, in
Canada, and in other parts of the world. In 1936 he was involved
in the discovery of the Tchoga Zambil Ziggurat in Southern Iran.
In 1970 he retired as the head of the international oil operating
companies in Iran, and was awarded a CBE in 1971 for his work.
He then devoted his retirement to researching the many enigmas
of prehistory, surveying and discovering the Integrated Astronomical
Observatory Line A - Hatfield Forest to Wandlebury, near Cambridge,
and the Bodmin Moor Astronomical Complex in Cornwall, England,
both dated to c. 2,500 BC. He established the overwhelming mathematical
probability and proof that these structures were designed for
complex observational astronomy and went on to discover from
Early Sumerian and other ancient texts, the origin of their
builders, and the founders of agriculture and civilisation in
the Near East c. 9,500 BC. The Path of Light provides the remarkable
supporting evidence from the long lost recorded words of Jesus,
rediscovered within the Egyptian Coptic records of the early
Christian Church. Christian O'Brien died in February 2001 aged
87.
Barbara
Joy O'Brien has played a full part in the research, with
a special interest in the history of religion. She is also a
poet with several publications and awards to her credit.
