The acclaimed coauthors of the thought-provoking
Civilization One and
Solomons Power Brokers take readers on a gripping excursion into ancient religion and its direct relationship to astronomy. Thrillingly, Christopher Knight and Alan Butler establish conclusively that even before the last ice age an advanced civilization existed that had knowledge of Megalithic and metric measuring systems and of the Earths sizeand that fragments of this culture were preserved. They explain how the oldest, most enigmatic of the Neolithic monumentsthe henges of North Yorkshirewere planned, what their purpose actually was, what amazing connection they have to the later Pyramids of Giza, and why both henges and pyramids are earthly representations of the stars in Orions belt.
