What Is Project Horus?

Hidden deep within the Ankh Institute lies one of the most ambitious scientific programmes ever conceived. Known only to a select group of researchers, Project Horus seeks to investigate the nature of human consciousness and determine whether awareness can exist independently of the physical brain.

The project combines neuroscience, advanced computing, medical imaging and experimental technology in an attempt to observe what happens at the precise moment consciousness separates from the body.

The Eye Of Horus Connection

The project takes its name from the ancient Egyptian Eye of Horus, one of the most recognisable symbols in history. Traditionally associated with protection, healing and perception, the symbol has long been linked to the idea of higher awareness.

Within the Jonathan Chambers universe, this connection becomes more than symbolic. Horus represents the Institute’s attempt to see what should be invisible.

The Hard Problem Of Consciousness

Modern science can explain many functions of the brain. It can identify regions responsible for memory, language, movement and emotion. Yet one mystery remains unsolved.

Why are we conscious?

Project Horus attempts to explore that gap between physical brain activity and subjective experience.

The Pineal Gland Mystery

The pineal gland has fascinated philosophers, mystics and scientists for centuries. Some traditions associate it with higher states of awareness, while the Ankh Institute places it at the centre of its most secret research.

Jonathan Chambers And The Experiment

Jonathan Chambers arrives at the Ankh Institute believing he is undergoing treatment for a life-threatening condition. Instead, he finds himself drawn into a hidden programme that appears to have taken a very personal interest in him.

The deeper he investigates, the more he realises that Project Horus may have been waiting for him long before he ever arrived.

The Question That Changes Everything

Can consciousness be measured?

The answer has the potential to transform medicine, religion, philosophy and the human understanding of existence itself.
