The underground Temples of Humankind and the eco-village Damanhur in northern Italy attracted hundreds of people when, in 1995, the presense of these Temples first became public.

To familiarize yourself with Damanhur, go to the website www.Damankur.org. Barjon’s also carries the pictorial volume, , $50.00. It is amazing!
