9 Patrick di Santo is an interdisciplinary research scientist and author whose work masterfully weaves history, metaphysics, cultural theory, and scientific inquiry. With affiliations at the University of Kansas and the Union Center for Cultural and Environmental Research, his writing is recognized for its source-based reconstructions, symbolic depth, and commitment to recovering suppressed knowledge systems.
His landmark book, ALIENATION: The Phoenician Healers (2024), explores ancient ritual medicine across Vedic, Egyptian, Persian, Hellenistic, and Phoenician cultures. Integrating symbols such as the serpent, spiral, and sacred tree, di Santo reveals how ancestral healing practices align with modern genetics, quantum theory, and energetic medicine.
In WISDOM SEEKERS: Sphinx Worship, he conducts a comparative investigation of feminine cosmic archetypes from Egypt, Sumeria, India, and Phoenicia—highlighting the Sphinx as a guardian of divine memory and gender balance in cosmic order. This work is central to di Santo’s thesis: that ancient mythologies encoded a higher harmonic logic now recoverable through rigorous cross-cultural analysis.
Awarded the Zadigan Research Grant in 2021, his project City of the Sun: Our Grandmother’s Lost History documents Cahokia, the pre-Columbian mound city in Illinois. This study merges indigenous oral history, archaeology, and spiritual cosmology, honoring Native American perspectives long excluded from mainstream narratives.
Di Santo’s prose blends ethnography, linguistics, archaeology, and poetics into a layered intellectual experience. His source-first methodology prioritizes ancient texts, petroglyphs, and ritual traditions—always grounded in primary citation and restorative storytelling. His work guides readers across the edges of myth and science, toward a reactivation of ancestral wisdom.
Including Native American Indian research, such as Our Grandmother’s Lost History, 9 affirms the wisdom embedded in ancestral language:
“Onęhshę́ʼ shęh gawęnyóh, nęh oʼnigo̱hwę́ʼ gawęnyóh gowaʼ onęhshę́ʼ.”
Time is Precious, but Truth more Precious than Time.
