Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
With Uriel's Machine, Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas move away from their previous books about the Knights Templar, Freemasons and the strange chapel at Rosslyn in Scotland, and turn their attention instead to the much more distant past.
The authors believe that Earth was hit by a comet in 7640 BC, and by another one in 3150 BC, each time resulting in great devastation. From their study of Stone Age monuments around Britain, and of the non-Biblical Book of Enoch, they conclude that Enoch visited Britain some time before 3150 BC to learn how to construct a megalithic celestial calculator which, amongst other things, could be used to forecast the arrival of comets.
In the end, of course, there can be no absolute proof of this or any other rewriting of history--or indeed of more orthodox versions of history. Knight and Lomas's conclusions are controversial, but that in itself is no bad thing. Existing paradigms in every discipline should be challenged, and this is what they are doing. --David V Barrett --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Substantial scientific data are cited to support the case that the biblical flood was an authentic historical event, with a clearly identified cause dated to the relevant period, and global cataclysmic effects that can still readily be seen today. An impressive ancient understanding of geometry, astronomy, navigation, the measurement of time, and other sciences, is revealed in the legacy of our distant ancestors. Persuasive documentary and archaeological proof is presented, together with interesting anecdotal evidence, to suggest how pre-historic wisdom was acquired and carefully handed down by secret organisations. An intriguing series of events are described, from the knowledge taught to Enoch by the angel Uriel, through the construction of megalithic monuments, to the creation and shaping of nations and religions, and the formation of modern secret societies - even the mysterious agenda of the New World Order. The book culminates in some astonishing observations on the influence of ancient traditions on today's modern civilisation. Royal and aristocratic bloodlines are traced back to high-priests from the ancient middle-east. Their secret knowledge is guarded by an elite Masonic brotherhood, organised by some of the world's most influential people. It seems that a sacred ideology - established in a legendary ancient era when gods lived on Earth among men - may be about to return to govern the world.
Such an intriguing and though-provoking text will enrich and broaden the outlook of anyone interested in reading about popular topics relevant to history, religion, conspiracy theory, or secret societies.
However, once over that disappointment, you will find that this book has great stature on its own. Knight and Lomas have a talent for interpreting history in such a fresh and convincing manner that you can never view traditional history the same way again. In this book, the authors give us new information about "The Flood", 2)development of pre-historical civilization, 3) the Book of Enoch, 4)the importance of the megalithic structures in Great Britain, 5)the prominence of Venus, and 6)a possible pre-historic universal unit of measure,{ 7)amongst other things}. They tie much of this to Freemasonic doctrine and rituals as only they can do.
This is another solid entry into an area I call "New History", that is, the recent surge of works by Hancock, Baigent,Leigh, Lincoln, Knight, Lomas, Gardener, Thiering,et.al. which are regaling us with fascinating new insights into many significant areas of history, theology, technology, and culture. Given all the recent discoveries and revelations about ancient civilizations. it won't be long before the concept of "prehistory" will be "a thing of the past". END
