Every organism on Earth responds to four major cycles: the solar and lunar day, the synodic month and the year. We all dance to these primary rhythms. This book reveals the poetic cosmology that lies within the cycles of the Sun and Moon as seen from the Earth.

Once part of a large culture of stone circles, Stonehenge―built around 3000 B.C. and developed over the next 1,500 years―is the most famous. The remains of a once-wealthy and evidently learned tribal community, it reflects the apparently disparate subjects of archaeology, astronomy, metrology, sacred geometry, and even shamanism. How were eclipses predicted at Stonehenge? Why were some stones brought all the way from Wales? What is the secret geometry of seven eights? These and many other questions are answered―and Stonehenge's secrets revealed―in this fascinating small book.

Professor Alexander Thom was a foremost scientist and engineer of the last century. This work tells Thom's story that goes beyond his lifetime, and shows how and why the archaeology profession missed a huge opportunity to embrace a remarkable aspect of our prehistoric past, one which carries huge implications for our modern culture.

Stonehenge is Britain's national temple. Attracting almost one million visitors a year, the monument has become the country's most visited tourist attraction, now a World Heritage site. Yet despite his popularity, this prehistoric monument remains shrouded in mystery and still provokes many questions and both laymen and specialist alike - who built it, when, and for what purposes? Why were all those huge stones moved such unfeasibly long distances and then placed so precisely? These questions remained largely unanswered until fairly recently, and this book charts the emergence of Stonehenge into the collective modern psyche, from naïve medieval speculations through modern scientific methodology and New Age revelations. --- excerpt from book's Introduction

Two leading researchers into ancient wisdom demonstrate that the earth's dimensions were accurately known prior to 3000 BC. These astonishing findings 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.
