Product Description
Book Description
The megalithic monuments of the world, including Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid, can be understood as maps of the Earth. While researching the metrology of the megalithic monuments of Britain and Egypt, the author made this important and previously unnoticed observation: these monuments are, in fact, maps! Many of these maps include within their structure the latitudes of specific topographical features on the surface of the vEarth. Some specific discoveries: • The Avebury Henge is a map of the Earth • Stonehenge is a map of Earth's orbit • The Great Pyramid is a map of the continents • The Imperial Measurement System is based on the Great Pyramid: the mile measures 1760 yards and the pyramid, 1760 cubits

Thoth; Architect of the Universe,

A very interesting read for anyone who is interested in a lateral view of history.

Egypt in mind's eye,

This review is from: Thoth: Architect of the Universe (Paperback)
This book is not an entertainment subject, unless you are engineeringly inclined. The author takes his time to fill the pages, but the information contained within may change your understanding of religion, history and culture as we know it. Don't get me wrong, the book is not about new age or occult. He casts light upon the reason these world wonders were built, what type of messages they carry, some speculations about their functions and ultimately, some decrypting theories in mathematics which connect the historic achievements like Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid to a profound goal. Not discarding the indifferent judgement of Occam's Razor, the author is very frank about his speculations. If you think anything unknown must be subject to objective consideration, this book might provide you with serious thoughts to consider. In contrast to pegging these monuments as "built with religious thoughts", which by the way, is the official explanation evading the Razor; he is not afraid to test his ideas under the Razor. If you think our technology would be considered as magic earlier, you might apply the same state of mind to the discoveries and assertations contained in this book. Very satisfying!

Just plain awful,

This review is from: Thoth: Architect of the Universe (Paperback)
I'm a serious student of alternative history and was looking in earnest to read Ellis' book, because it has been footnoted by some big names in the field. What a disappointment! This book might be of some interest to engineers and people who love to play with numbers, but it makes zero sense historically. Not only is Ellis' final concluclusion absurd, but the length of time it takes to get there is far too long. The writing is clumsy and the thoughts convolulted. This is one time I'm sorry I spent the money.
