What People are Saying About The Orion Zone:
“The Orion Zone is an extensively researched study of archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and the oral traditions of the Hopi peoples of the American Southwest. Readers interested in astro-archaeology or in pre-Columbian America will find a great deal of thought-provoking material here, along with citations for further study.” --Mysteries Magazine
“From the incredible adobe village complexes of Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde National Park to the enigmatic symbols carved into desert rocks, the evidence David compiles is both compelling and convincing. Gary David's The Orion Zone is an extremely important book that winds through Anasazi lands like the tracks of a snake, towards a destination somewhere above the horizon where Orion walks.” --Rick M. Gned, Sub Rosa
..
“The correlation Mr. David makes between the Hopi and Egyptian 'sky view' imost interesting.” --Robert Bauval, co-author of The Orion Mystery and The Message of the Sphinx
“. . . a classic in its own time.” --Philip Gardiner, author of Gnosis: the Secret of Solomon’s Temple Revealed

Thoughts On Eye of the Phoenix:
"Gary David's work is a treasure of enormous importance. He draws us deep into the mystery of Arizona and deeper still into the lost secrets of ancient cosmology. The truth behind the myths and symbols he's uncovering has the power to unify us, just as the Hopi prophesied." --William Henry, investigative mythologist, author, co-host of Whitley Strieber's "Dreamland" radio show
"This book makes a fascinating leap of conjecture that connects legends of the ancient Hopi to modern reports of UFO's. We would all do well to listen to our earliest ancestors, especially those in the U.S., for voices that, while faint, might very well have something of importance to tell us all today." -–Lloyd Pye, author of The Starchild Skull
About My Poetry:
>
"... it is my belief that an entire and powerful culture of unknown poets currently exists, whose work will ultimately need to be acclaimed if this nation is to continue to have a genuine, vital and useful poetry. Gary David is among those poets.” --Dale Jacobson
“...edgy and intelligent...” --Susan Smith Nash
“...crackles with energy...” --Keith Wilson
“...a strong western voice, steeped with local and mythical mystic streams of thought.” --Michael Crye
“...a visionary and ‘deep’ work...” --Karl Kopp, The Bloomsbury Review
“Gary David gives us this other way of seeing, from the fragments the intimations of the whole, which, as we should know, is the real name for the holy.” --Joe Napora, Small Press Review
“These poems require that you return to them, not to struggle with obscure meanings, but to enjoy the voice of Gary David singing to the world.” --Linda Hasselstrom
"I hear the anger, disgust, disillusionment all carried by the jazz riff line. This is clear, powerful writing! I think ole Walt is watching and quite happy that someone is kicking up the dust down here."
--Judy Platz
"With beauty, humor, and grit, Gary David’s powerful poetry teaches us the lessons of American History that we have either never learned, or the History we’re trying so desperately to forget.” --Maggie Jaffe
"Gary David emerges as a poet of uncommon precision and breadth, and as one who believes wholeheartedly in the promise of poetry's deepest orders to consecrate the individual soul beyond a bio-blasted circumstance." --Ralph LaCharity
“...rooted in place and history, giving us a view of our past and its influence on the present. This work promises to establish him as a major voice in Western writing.”
--Gary Holthaus
“...part of the ongoing white side of postcolonial writing, and very exciting." --Jim Cody
" I'm trying to think more complexly about the forms a documentary poetics might take in this early 21st-century day and age, and [Gary's] work helps cast light on some of these concerns... he really bears down on what it means to survive and exist in a specific social and cultural milieu." --Alan Gilbert
“Gary David expands the limits of a form he has been instrumental in creating--the verse documentary. At a time when poetry flounders, and historiography is at war over old grounds, his work may well be the light of the future.”--Edward Dorn

NOTE ON SLIDE SHOW
Looking at old photos of myself, I regretfully realize that very few of them actually capture, as they say, my essence. I appear mostly as a blur, a shadow, a cipher, a simulacrum. I guess it's my karma. And it's the very opposite of the documentary nature of the cult of personality. Anyway, this is MY life.
2 Samuel 14:14 "For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him."
Gary David has been intrigued by the Four Corners region of the United States since his initial trip there in 1987. The following year he spent six months examining rock art and indigenous ruins in northern New Mexico. This prompted a move to Arizona In 1994, where he began to study intensively the ancestral Pueblo People (sometimes misnamed the Anasazi) and their descendants the Hopi.
In late 2006 after more than a decade of independent fieldwork and research, his nonfiction book The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cities of the American Southwest. It was published by www.adventuresunlimitedpress.com. This describes a pattern of Hopi villages and ruin sites that precisely mirrors Orion, with an ancient site corresponding to each major star in the constellation.
The sequel also published by Adventures Unlimited Press (2008) is titled Eye of the Phoenix: Mysterious Visions and Secrets of the American Southwest. The book deals with many diverse topics: the Ant People, Snake People, Dog Star People, Sedona Sanskrit, Arizona Knights Templar Crosses, Reptilian Round Towers, Frontier Freemasonry, Meteor Crater, Hopi Kachinas, Stone Tablets and the End Times.
His articles have appeared in Fate (see beginning of article at: www.fatemag.com/issues/2000s/2007-01article2.html), World Explorer, Atlantis Rising, Ancient American, and Four Corners magazines. He has been interviewed on national radio programs and has lectured at the MUFON chapters and elsewhere.
Mr. David earned a master's degree in English literature from the University of Colorado and is a former adjunct professor. He is also a poet, with numerous volumes published. In addition, he is a professional musician, publisher of Island Hills Books (an online showcase for the literature inspired by the spirit-of-place http://islandhills.tripod.com), and executive director/webmaster for The Orion Zone http://www.theorionzone.com.
Gary lives with his wife and daughter in rural northern Arizona, where the skies are still relatively pristine.

Crop circles are an incredible art form. Well, being an artist, I know that an artist who is proud of his work is going to "sign" his art in some way. Looking to find the artist hidden in the crop circles, this is what I found when I put a recent crop circle through Photoshop. It seems the creators of the crop circles are the Mantis race of aliens. No wonder they are drawn to fields.
as we ascend in the realization to be a part of all, the more of collectives joys and pleasures we feel in the oneness that we become. we know to be at the receiving end of grace to cause happiness and address collective pains. in our doing is inspired work of source. in our knowing is joy and lightness. in our journey is transformation of human to angel. compassion and abundance flows naturally and humanity ascends. as ARIVEN, we are the awake- gently prodding humanity to its beautiful momentum of transformation.
