More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'A major breakthrough at last! Knight and Butler's stunning discovery could completely change the way we view our remote past... and origins.' Robert G. Bauval, author of The Orion Mystery 'Absolutely fascinating, and very, very convincing. Knight and Butler's findings provide compelling scientific evidence of the existence of an advanced, technological civilisation in remote antiquity.' Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods
Product Description
The suggestion that the Giza pyramids were laid out to represent the stars of Orion's belt, with the position of the River Nile reflecting the Milky Way, was first put forward by the renowned author Robert Bauval in his bestselling book The Orion Mystery. In Before the Pyramids Knight and Butler reveal that the British henges were arranged in the same formation - but much earlier. They also present irrefutable evidence that the astronomical calculations determining the layout of the pyramids could only have been made from the site of the henges in North Yorkshire. From this they can conclude that the pyramids of the pharaohs were conceived and planned in Britain! Their next stunning discovery takes us to modern times. They have found evidence that the whole Megalithic measuring system has survived into the 20th century. There are examples in Washington, DC - even in the positioning and construction of the Pentagon, which was only commenced in 1942 and is an exact copy of the dimensions of Stonehenge, dating to 3,000 BC.

Format:Paperback
Some good original source material in this book, some but not too much recycling from other books. A good progression from Uriel's Machine. Hopefully this will be inspiration for an aspiring astro-archeology student, because there's lots more field work and statistical analysis to be done on the geographic correlations with other henges in the south of Britain.

Alexander Thom is well vindicated in this issue. Also, we again find the Craft as the keeper of the ancient knowledge. Although I found some of the measurements not quite as accurate, the degree of deviation was not statistically significant. Of course it is not possible to measure precisely using Google since the map is a composite of overlapped satellite photos. On the other hand, the accuracy is very good nonetheless. If the design and building of D.C. was done with such ancient knowledge, and if the knowledge still exists, it appears that the desired result of late is wanting. It is hard to believe that such noble individuals are able to influence the rag-tag bunch now in Washington. I fear that today, we lost our republic forever. Hopefully, I am wrong. Meanwhile, the book is an excellent read and although I got lost in some of the math, most of it was easily followed. If the keepers of the secrets are alive and well in this era, then they have much work to do.
I also have question for the authors. Have you been able to find any other historical cities on the globe that exhibit evidence of design using megalithic units? The inability to do so would tend to add support to the D.C. evidence. Also, what motivation would encourage the keepers of the knowledge to allow it to travel to the 'New World'? Altruism at its finest? Perhaps Ben Franklin was not just chasing the ladies during his stay in Europe as has been suggested by his critics.
Congratulations to Chris and Alan for another great read. What is next?

I have read various works by these authors and this one continues their energetic investigation in to the long lost science that our ancestors understood and used. At times, coincidence seems all to easy to blame for the results they have found, but as the chapters progress, it becomes clear that our ancestors were talented and guided in decipering the cosmos. An excellant piece of work and a must for all history bookshelfs alongside Graham Hancock, Adrian Gilbert and Andrew Colins.
