More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
How did the builders of Stonehenge predict eclipses to within a minute of accuracy? Why did they bring stones all the way from West Wales? Why does the Bible contain a story which is the solution to marriage of the Sun and Moon, a geometrical solution to a calendric and astronomical paradox? Why did the old testament prophet Enoch take observations of the Sun from the latitude of Stonehenge? Why did Jesus die at 33? Beautifully illustrated and concise with original artwork and extensive research and appendices, nothing like this book has appeared for a very long time.

Fascinating exploration of the detailed info at Stonehenge,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sun, Moon and Stonehenge: Proof of High Culture in Ancient Britain (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me by a friend that had the good fortune to attend a meeting with the author at Stonehenge itself, and i can thoroughly concur with his opinion. Robin Heath writes clearly and evocatively of some of the facts behind this incredible monument, examining the mathematical and other scientific facts behind the site and its alignment (both internal and with other major sites around the world) in a highly accessible way (i'm no mathematician, but his explanations of the geometry of the henge were completely lucid!), elaborating on exactly why Stonehenge had (and has!) such significance and thoroughly quashing the view that the peoples that built it were mere savages without any real purpose or intent, which anyone who has had the privilege of seeing the stones will know is highly unlikely given the tremendous scale of the undertaking. Heath's examination of the calendrical system and uses of Stonehenge was particularly insightful; all in all, a highly recommended book, offering a thorough explanation of some of the meanings behind the monument.

Robin Heath writes...,
By Fulgour Prentice - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sun, Moon and Stonehenge: Proof of High Culture in Ancient Britain (Paperback)
"Whatever else these over-translated, censored, and strange gospels tell us about the life of Jesus, the resurrection story does concern itself with a solar hero rising again at the same place with the sunrise, at Easter, after 33 years. There is a very large stone blocking the tomb - the entrance to the underworld - which rolls away to reveal the resurrected form and his entrance back into the visible world. Thus, this simple research would apparently seem to have solved our task about why the number 33 assumed such importance in folklore and the oral traditions, many of which probably date back to the late Stone Age. What we have also done, of course, is to stir up a potential hornet's nest, because it is now suggested that the Jesus story, whatever else it may be for Christians around the world, rides on the back of an historical and astronomical account of what have come to be called pagan practices in megalithic Europe. Ironically, those very same practices were stamped out ruthlessly by the later Christian Church."
