Product Description

Product Description

Professor Alexander Thom, who died in 1985, was a distinguished engineer. Independently of his ‘mainstream’ academic career, he developed a deep and active interest in the prehistoric megalithic sites of Britain and Brittany, visiting and surveying many hundreds of them over a period of forty years. Thom’s interpretations of the field data have aroused strong interest and some intense controversy. The main areas of debate are: geometry (the methods used to set out the megalithic rings, many of which appear to be non-circular); mensuration (the possible use of ‘standard’ units of measurement in setting out rings and rows); and astronomy (the connection between structures aligned upon the horizon and the rising and setting positions of the sun, moon or stars).

First Sentence
When my father was born, Queen Victoria was on the throne; the law of the land required a mechanically propelled vehicle to have a man walking in front with a red flag; powered flight was still a dream; the Yukon Trail was known to only a few men; and later feats such as the moon walk and sending probes to visit Halley's comet were mere fantasy. Read the first page
