About
The Mission of the Institute is to create a hub for alternative researchers to put forward their theories, philosophies and research.
The Institute for Natural Philosophy is organized exclusively for and is dedicated to the preservation,
advancement and promotion of culture, heritage, history and science by way of archiving, teaching, research, research projects, presentations and publications. In 2025, we want to begin our efforts to open a library and museum.
Join us as we bring into light what is still in shadows, the mighty powers of the ancient world brought to life.
