Megalithomania
A feast of extraordinary theories and personalities centred around the mysterious standing stones of antiquity. John Michell tells the incredible story of the amazing reactions, ancient and modern, to these prehistoric relics, whether astronomical, legendary, mystical or visionary.
Powerpoints
This book from Robin Heath injects the controversial subject of alignments (leylines) back into focus and demonstrates how these enigmatic features still influence the siting of important cultural and industrial powerpoints today. Many original photographs and graphics make the book simple to read yet profoundly disturbing in its implications for modern culture. A reality shift!
Sun, Moon & Stonehenge
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.

Bluestone Magic
Have you ever felt, while visiting a megalithic monument, that there may be something more going on beyond the sparse model of human culture in prehistory presented by archaeologists and historians? If so, then this book may be exactly what you have been looking for -- because it offers an explanation as to why those monuments are out there on the landscape, and why they were placed at a particular location. And more! Whether the local bluestones were taken to Stonehenge or moved by glacial action, they were certainly important in prehistoric times, being employed in various stages of the construction of Stonehenge. The history of this mystery, ancient and modern, from Merlin and Geoffrey of...
Alexander Thom
Professor Alexander Thom was a foremost scientist and engineer of the last century. Once Chair of Engineering Science at Brasenose College, Oxford, following an already distinguished career in both the academic and industrial world, during the War he had been Principal Scientific Officer for the design of the High Speed Wind Tunnel at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, and had assisted Sir Barnes Wallace in the design of the famous 'bouncing bomb' of Dambuster's fame. From 1934, Thom became interested in the megalithic culture that had erected the stone circles, rows and other monuments in Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain. He began to accurately survey these sites, and in 1967 pu...
The Lost Science of Measuring the Earth
Long trackways, stone rows, circles, standing stones, and huge earthworks may be found all over Britain, monuments dating back well over 4000 years. The authors have made a remarkable breakthrough in understanding the system by which prehistoric monuments were designed and placed.
Proto Stonehenge in Wales
In the Preseli mountains of coastal West Wales, volcanic outcrops have been long identified as the source of many of the bluestone megaliths at Stonehenge. Now, following the recent discovery of a previously unknown megalithic complex, a second connection is made between Wales and Stonehenge, showing that Stonehenge was the end result of a long project undertaken over many centuries with the goal of developing a Neolithic technology capable of measuring and recording time and space. It is a work of creative genius and the technology can be shown to have been developed in Wales. Breathtakingly accurate, it has become completely lost until now, absent from our history books. Once understood, it lifts the capabilities of Neolithic culture to a new level, revealing a practical megalithic science with which to integrate the cycles and rhythms of the sky with those experienced on earth. The book tells the story of this discovery and introduces a new and remarkable effective analytical tool with which to evaluate prehistoric sites.
