Ancient Memories

In ancient, pre-literate cultures across the globe, tribal elders had encyclopedic memories.

Using traditional Aboriginal Australian song lines as a starting point, Dr. Lynne Kelly has since identified the powerful memory technique used by our ancestors and indigenous people around the world.
