2.0 out of 5 stars crock a '1' for effort plus '1' for the title adds up to two sense worth
IF you are seeking real truths you would be wise to avoid any product written by a Freemason that claims to give Freemason insights yet it fails to reveal any background about the world's oldest symbol found in all tool-making cultures or those that had knowledge of the wheel.

The swastika is 12,000+ years old and can be connected to NANO miracles in the 21st...

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (HALL OF FAME)   
This engaging alternative history examines the evidence of weights and measures and comes to the conclusion that there must have been an advanced culture in prehistory. The structures of the Stone Age were built by using a very precise unit of measurement, called the megalithic yard. The book explores the science behind prehistoric units, their mathematical origin and means of reproduction, and proves that these are linked to the dimensions of the solar system.

The reader must have a basic knowledge of arithmetic but overall the book is an easy read and very revealing. Amongst the topics discussed are writing, Egypt, Sumeria, the Minoan foot, solar and sidereal days, pendulums and the importance of the planet Venus. It turns out that the British Pound and Pint are both derived from ancient measurements. The units of the hour, minute and second were developed more than 4000 years ago from the movements of the moon.

The text also encompasses subjects like the harmony of the spheres, Sumerian degrees and the calendar, and explains that the metric system is not a recent invention. There is a section on Thomas Jefferson and his achievements; this great man apparently realized that he was rediscovering parts of a very ancient system.

Amongst the most captivating sections is the chapter on music and light. There is a definite correspondence between the rotating mass of our planet and human music. Also, megalithic mathematics produces its own musical structure. The authors conclude that there must have been an advanced people that instructed the rest of the world in science and technology. They also refer to the Masonic concept of the Great Architect of the Universe.

There are seven appendices that include further information on earth days and the megalithic year, megalithic music, the Phaistos Disc, the amazing barley seed, and the connection between megalithic principles and Freemasonry. The colour plates include approximately 20 full colour photographs and there are many black and white illustrations throughout the text. The book concludes with an index.

I also recommend Lost Civilisations Of The Stone Age by Richard Rudgley, Stone Age Soundtracks by Paul Devereux, and Forbidden Archaeology by Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson.

This review is from: Civilization One: The World Is Not As You Thought It Was (Paperback)
IF you are seeking real truths you would be wise to avoid any product written by a Freemason that claims to give Freemason insights yet it fails to reveal any background about the world's oldest symbol found in all tool-making cultures or those that had knowledge of the wheel.

The swastika is 12,000+ years old and can be connected to NANO miracles in the 21st century and of course to forces of nature that a wrathful biblical YHVH or angry Zeus might 'hurl' down upon humanity.

There are many great books out there written by Freemasons who devote entire chapters to the swastika.
And to anybody who does his homework the swastika a.k.a the Jaina Cross should not be ignored.
The Spring Temple Buddha in China opened in 2002, it is the world's tallest statue at 128 meters and yes it has the swastika placed over the Buddha's heart.

Suggesting that most books written by Christopher Knight are based on putting together a narrative catering to Judeao-Christian fantasies, failing to include very important facts about the swastika coming from the four directions NEWS, nano facts that science knows about, like it can bend/diffract/polarize light, make solar panels MORE efficient and can even today be used to 'unwind' DNA.

IF you want great Freemason info without the drama and questionable narrative based on distortions of fact, may I recommend:

1/ The Royal Secret by I. Edward Clark
2/ Hermetic Masonry by Frank C. Higgins
3/ Ancient Freemasonry: An Introduction to Masonic Archeology by Frank C. Higgins
4/ Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man by Albert Churchward, the brother of James Churchward of Children of Mu fame.

And finally the quinta essentia is Thomas Wilson's classic published in 1894 the 'Swastika the Earliest Known Symbol and Its Migrations' is of course a must read if you want to know about Freemason 'secrets'.
