And there shall be memorials mighty of their handiworks upon the earth, leaving dim traces when the cycles are renewed".

Welcome to the official page of the ARX Project.

We are a group of researchers from different fields and nationalities, linked by a common passion for unlocking the mysteries of our past.

We conduct and sponsor expeditions around the world in search of traces of ancient advanced civilizations.

 ABOUT US 

The ARX Project was launched in 2020 with the goal to provide a multidisciplinary approach to the study of our ancient past. We work in partnership with governmental and non-governmental institutions to advance our knowledge of human prehistory and the origins of civilization.

Our expeditions are conducted in the utmost respect of the place, using non-invasive exploration and investigation techniques like LiDAR, satellite imagery and ground penetrating radar.

MISSION AND VISION

Countless historical and mythical traditions from around the world speak of a time when a mighty race, devoted to growth in wisdom, lived on earth and left great monuments behind, dim traces of which may still be found to this day.
We all live within the ruins of a great ancient structure, whose vast size has hitherto rendered it invisible. The entire surface of the earth is marked with the traces of gigantic works of prehistoric engineering, of which we know neither the purpose nor the identity of their builders.
This lost world may hold the keys not only to our past, but also to our future.
Even though so much has been lost, we believe that critical pieces of the great puzzle of humanity’s ancient past may still be found in those places were ancient traditions suggest they were concealed long ago.
Our mission is to reveal the “missing pieces” and promote thus a better and more complete understanding of our ancient origins to provide the foundation of a better future for all.
