Dr. Carmen Boulter and Klaus Dona
The Satellite Key to Egypt’s Lost Labyrinth
La Alpujarra, January 2015
Here it begins. I turn right, steering my old Nissan Terrano 4x4 down a steep dirt track, tires crunching against the earth. The hundred-meter-wide rocky rambla—a dry riverbed—stretches before me, a scarred testament to the whims of nature. I ease to a stop where a cold mountain river slices the road in two, its waters glinting under the winter sun. Carefully, I gauge the depth, then shift the gear into differential lock. With a slow, deliberate commitment, I press forward, the vehicle lurching over the “rolling stones.” The river rises, submerging the tires, and for a moment, I’m suspended between peril and triumph. Then, with a surge of relief laced with exhilaration, I emerge on the other side.
Another kilometer unfolds through a dense, lush green jungle of a track, leading me to Cortijo Las Plumas, where the writer Andrew Barker has carved out his sanctuary. Free-roaming horses greet me, their soft, warm presence a quiet welcome. In the distance, the joyful chatter of voices drifts from a vine-draped terrace, where people savor an English breakfast overlooking this secluded valley—a hidden horse farm cradled by the wild.
And there she stands: Dr. Carmen Boulter1, the renowned scholar and filmmaker, celebrated for her work on ancient Egypt, The Pyramid Code2. Andrew had invited her to fly in from Canada, bearing the staggering results of satellite scans he’d commissioned through her personal friend and spiritual archaeologist, Klaus Dona3. The air hums with anticipation.

Rewind several months. Andrew had first crossed paths with Dr. Boulter while we toiled over our book, The Quest for the Labyrinth of Egypt4. This wild, untamed woman ignited with excitement—her lifelong ambition was nothing less than the search for the mythical Hall of Records, the fabled stone library of the Atlanteans, an Ice Age civilization she claimed to recall through vivid past-life visions. Countless Zoom calls followed from our modest office, rented in the whitewashed Andalusian mountain village of Cádiar. Carmen proposed a bold pivot: transform our book into a documentary, reaching a global audience as part of her envisioned series, The New Atlantis5.
Her vitality disrupted our humble project. The focus shifted—no longer just a text chronicling the history of Hawara and my shadowbanned Mataha-expedition6, a desperate bid to keep my labyrinth quest alive. Carmen redirected it toward a full documentary on the labyrinth and, astonishingly, a new expedition to unearth what we’d scanned seven years earlier. The Quest for the Labyrinth roared back to life, and Dr. Carmen Boulter and Andrew Barker, the poet, were all in.
Word of this resurgence flashed through Carmen’s global network, the halls of Amenti alive with whispers. Soon, Klaus Dona, art curator for the Habsburg Haus of Austria, escalated our mission. He proposed deploying cutting-edge remote-sensing technology at Hawara, orchestrated by his German colleague, physicist Timo Glowatzki7. Operating from GeoScan8—a Liechtenstein-based firm with outposts in the UK and USA—Timo wielded a novel, self-developed satellite system paired with a mysterious “black cube” ground instrument. This obscure technology boasted an impressive résumé: scanning rare-earth minerals and gold veins for De Beers in Africa, mapping the tunnel network beneath the Bosnian Pyramid—a mission Klaus had championed. My excitement, and Andrew’s, soared. Our dream of unveiling the ancient wonder of the Labyrinth, with all its buried knowledge, was unfurling on an unprecedented scale.
Yet Carmen’s vision for The New Atlantis documentary, now incorporating Klaus’s scans and a new expedition, demanded a staggering $750,000 startup fund. For weeks, she pitched tirelessly—Discovery Channel, Gaia TV, National Geographic, Netflix—but the project was deemed too controversial, the resistance from the highest echelons too fierce. “The Labyrinth of Egypt is the atomic bomb of ancient history, and we aren’t going to mess with it,” an NBC Universal executive producer told me over the phone, his words still ringing in my ears.
Back to the drawing board. After a horseback ride through the almond blossoms of the Contraviesa, with the snow-capped Sierra Nevada shimmering in the distance, Andrew paused, gazing at the landscape with a poet’s reverence. “Louis,” he said softly, “I didn’t used to be who I am now.” His voice carried a tender weight. “Once, I flew the Concorde, chasing fame and fortune. I launched the Compaq Presario—the first portable computer—and served as one of Richard Branson’s right-hand men. I built the Game Store concept, sold it for a modest sum, and retreated here, to the silence of these Spanish mountains, to write of daily life and the afterlife.”
Stunned, I watched my horse paw nervously at the dusty soil. “Let’s go for it,” he declared. “I’ll bring Klaus on board!” And so, destiny took the reins.
The Scans
There we sat, gathered around a round wooden table, staring in awed silence at the satellite scans. The implications percolated through us—what would this mean for the world if revealed? Michael Donnellan9, an American 3D graphics maestro and filmmaker with a passion for ancient mysteries, had worked through the night, transforming the scans into a rudimentary model. Speech deserted me, like a prophet lost in the desert, as those images upended everything I thought I knew about Hawara.

The scans bypassed the underground labyrinth—beneath Flinders Petrie’s foundation layer, five meters down, where he’d unearthed that colossal 304-by-244-meter stone slab in 1888. I’d long argued it was the labyrinth’s roof, a theory bolstered by the 2008 Mataha Expedition’s geophysical survey, a collaboration between Ghent University and Egypt’s NRIAG. That effort revealed vast remnants between Petrie’s layer and the bedrock at -18 meters, findings later corroborated by the Egyptian-Polish mission10 2008-2009—until Dr. Zahi Hawass halted the mission, briefly jailing its director, Professor Alaaeldin Shaheen11, then Dean of Cairo’s Archaeology Faculty, who was swiftly ousted from his post.
But this satellite team dismissed that layer—the zone from -5 to -18 meters, the heart of my life’s work, forged in blood and tears. They dove deeper, claiming their technology could detect anomalies down to six kilometers, unhindered by depth or the site’s saline groundwater. Ignoring the buried temple complex just beneath the sand, they unveiled a network of monumental spaces hewn from solid bedrock far below: halls 80 meters long by 50 wide, linked by giant corridors at depths of -40, -60, -80, even -100 meters and beyond. It shattered my grasp of Hawara, Egyptian civilization, and humanity itself. The 3D model spun silently on Michael’s laptop, a vision of a buried wonder no one expected, silencing even Carmen.

It was at that precise moment that I threw a metaphorical stick into the dog kennel.
Being the skeptic I am, I asked: “What if this ‘remote sensing’ is just Klaus’s friend remote-viewing12 the labyrinth with a red magic marker and Google Maps printouts from his kitchen in Berlin?”
But I had to ask. I had spent years—years—on this path. Searching. Digging. Losing faith. Gaining it back. Watching projects collapse under the weight of ambition or sabotage. I had seen the best evidence buried, the best intentions betrayed. I had trusted too many people too quickly in the past. I wasn’t about to do it again.
I quipped, fishing up an old YouTube clip of Klaus marveling at psychic remote sensing techniques. The room erupted—had Andrew paid a fortune for Carmen to fund a pendulum swinging over satellite images? Had Dr. Boulter been duped by her longtime friend, the reputed Klaus Dona, of the renowned Habsburg Haus?
Hysteria flared until Klaus’s calm, German-accented voice streamed live from Austria, dousing the flames with eloquent science: Maxwell’s equations, complex spectral analysis, standing-wave solutions mapping subsurface topographies in four dimensions and beyond. His expertise soothed frayed nerves, but one truth loomed: these scans, however dazzling, would crumble under scientific scrutiny, let alone archaeology’s unforgiving gaze. We vowed secrecy, pirates guarding a treasure map too wild for the world to fathom.
Months later, we boarded a plane to Cairo, buoyed by Andrew’s poetic resolve and Carmen’s growing conviction that this find could awaken humanity into the Age of Aquarius—freedom, knowledge, enlightenment guided by ancient wisdom. Galloping through the Giza desert behind Carmen on her white Arabian horse, I watched the pyramids glow red at sunset. She whispered, “We hold the ancient key now. Let’s unlock our hidden history.”
“We hold the ancient key now. Let’s unlock our hidden history.” — Dr Carmen Boulter
Yet the trip faltered. Our Egyptian sponsor, a real estate tycoon, vanished hours before our meeting. High-ranking bureaucrats shunned our pleas to preserve Hawara, a site decaying in plain sight. Rivalries within the ministry stymied us; Hawara was a pariah, its name a whispered curse. Andrew’s vigor only grew, fueled by the secretaries’ nervous calls, the figures shadowing us in the streets, the strangers with eerily precise knowledge sniffing at our heels. Paranoia or synchronicity? Even my healthy skepticism choked on the surreal.
Andrew plotted our next move as we disembarked back home, steeling for battle against invisible giants. But Carmen strode into the Age of Aquarius alone, flinging our precious key to the world. Releasing all the scan information to the public in a fearless torrent. She unveiled Klaus’s satellite revelations on national radio shows and at sprawling conferences. Klaus’s scans blazed through the digital ether, torching her bridges—academic and alternative alike. Her community turned away, deeming her a heretic who’d blurred science and spirit too far. She died several years later of heart failure here in Spain13, while working on New Atlantis. Still chasing her dream, a light warrior and martyr who pried open the gates of a New Earth.
She tossed the key back to us. I hold it now.
So do you.
Though Dr. Carmen Boulter’s indomitable light has faded, her mission endures. We didn’t give up—our consortium presses forward, relentless in the search for the Labyrinth of Egypt, honoring her vision to unlock the ancient secrets buried beneath Hawara’s sands. The quest lives on, and soon I’ll share more thrilling and revealing chapters of this odyssey—discoveries that will stir the soul and challenge the mind. Want to journey with me?

Dr. Carmen Boulter. Professor emeritus at the University of Calgary in Canada was the director, producer, and writer of The Pyramid Code, an epic 5-episode documentary series on the mysteries of Ancient Egypt. During her lifetime she traveled to 66 different countries to conduct her research, including Egypt, where she has been 34 times. She was working on an exciting new documentary series called The New Atlantis filmed in 14 countries. She researched and wrote about the sacred feminine in ancient Egypt and goddesses around the world. Dr. Carmen was on the International Advisory Board for the Bosnian Pyramid Project.
The Pyramid Code is a made-for-television documentary series of 5 episodes that explores the pyramid fields and ancient temples in Egypt, as well as ancient megalithic sites around the world, looking for clues to matriarchal consciousness, ancient knowledge and sophisticated technology in a golden age. Featuring the ancients knew about an Earth grid of powerful energies and believed they coalesced in designated patterns. Learn how such knowledge translated into an extraordinary mathematical precision, as revealed in monuments including the great pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, Teotihuacán and many others. The series is based on the extensive research done in 25 trips to Egypt and 51 other countries around the world by Dr. Carmen Boulter. The Pyramid Code includes interviews with more than a dozen prominent scholars and authors in multidisciplinary fields.

The New Atlantis was the much-anticipated sequel to Dr Carmen Boulter's paradigm-shifting 5-part documentary series, The Pyramid Code. The New Atlantis was set to reveal an undeniable global network of ancient pyramids and cosmologically aligned megalithic structures. Revolutionizing what we know about Atlantis, compelling evidence indicates that survivors from ‘the lost continent’ used engineering science that may have been even more advanced than what we have today. The series was intended to paint a real-life picture gathering cross-disciplinary evidence using archaeology, climatology, linguistics, astronomy, plate tectonics, cartography, and glaciology. Collecting data with state-of-the-art satellite scans, sophisticated energy devices in the field, and thermo-luminescent dating, details of history's most persistent legend comes to light. A series set to uncover humanity's forgotten legacy and gaining insight into the truth about Atlantis not only to brings us closer to our predecessors but can also inform our common future.
The Mataha-expedition researched the lost labyrinth of Egypt at Hawara. From the 18th of February until the 12th of March 2008 the geo-archaeological survey was conducted by the NRIAG (National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics, Helwan, Egypt) on the archaeological site of Hawara (Faiyum oasis – Egypt). The Mataha Expedition is detailed in the following document: labyrinthofegypt_com__printversion.pdf > [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YqntaYOhvSWA7fd3jFYToPqx34odntjB/view]

Remote viewing is the psychic ability to acquire accurate information about a distant or non-local place, person, or event without using your physical senses or any other obvious means. It’s associated with the idea of clairvoyance, seemingly being able to spontaneously know something without actually knowing how you got the information. It is also sometimes called “anomalous cognition” or “second sight.”
