Editorial Review:
Two leading researchers into ancient wisdom demonstrate that the earth’s dimensions were accurately known prior to 3000 BC. These astonishing findings, available for the first time, include a system of surveying and measure based on simple numerical and geometrical rules documents that remnants of this science still existed in medieval times when it became lost. It appears that the system was applied worldwide. Chapters include: Measurement and the Moon; Stonehenge & the Lunation Triangle; The Preseli Triangle; Prehistoric Precision: A Summary; The Numbers that Measure the Earth; Traditions of Ancient Surveyors in Britain; Secrets of the 52nd Parallel; Dates and Speculations "A Summary; Appendices.

Well written, innovative and challenging. -- Aubrey Burl, Stone Circles of Britain, Brittany and Ireland

At last a thorough analysis of what our ancient ancestors actually knew. It appears that we are the ones living in an age of ignorance, and unfortunately by choice.

The study of ancient metrology and the numerical harmonics embedded within opens the mind to a whole new world. To me, the lack of academic attention to this subject is amazing given the seemingly grounded research these and a few other authors provide. But forget academia.....dive in for yourself. It seems certain that somebody in the past knew a lot more than we know now about the nature of our world and of mathematics. It is a great mystery. And as we harken back to the past for insights to help us survive a cloudy future, this ancient worldview that is preserved in megalithic monuments offers much promise.
To be true to the authors, this is my own take on the whole field of sacred geometry/ancient metrology. This book is more specialized, focusing on ancient geodesy of England and the world. But it is a superb introduction to their work and that of associates in the process of rediscovering this science.....just by doing the numbers.
