Lloyd M. Dickie, Ph.D., has a Master’s degree from Yale University and a doctorate from the University of Toronto. A retired ecologist and former professor of oceanography at Dalhousie University, he has studied ancient Egypt for more than 40 years, including many active site explorations.
He has benefited from 15+ years of exploring sites of Ancient Egypt. A highlight was his participation in the 1989 detailed survey at the foot of the Sphinx in support of the water erosion hypothesis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx_water_erosion_hypothesis). The excursion led to the confirmation that the Sphinx was created in the wet period of Egypt when the water erosion patterns on the enclosure were created.
LMD has been an active participant in the Gurdjieff work for sixty years and continues to contribute to the Gurdjieff Association of the Maritimes (http://www.gurdjieffmaritimes.ca/).
Paul R. Boudreau has a Master's degree from Dalhousie University. He explored fisheries ecology as a career. Ancient myths and sites have captured his imagination and attention since childhood, struggling to understand the importance of what was taught to him as fairy tales. He has been fortunate enough to travel the world and to personally experience many of man’s highest creations – both ancient and modern. Onsite exploration of Egyptian temples, tombs and pyramids demonstrated the need for more detail and precision in how we look at ourselves and our world.
Lloyd and Paul are ecologists who have spent more than thirty-five years exploring science and myths as vehicles intended to help us understand ourselves and the world around us. Through their formal training and professional lives, they have actively worked to understand the implications of 20th/21st century physics, psychology and system theory as they relate to how we study and perceive ourselves in our world. They have made a habit of applying well-honed tools of the scientific approach to their reading and study of creation myths from various cultures.
