by ROBIN HEATH

This is a book of cutting edge research, leading to both a simpler way to understand megalithic monuments and a new way of understanding the Sky, suggesting our ancestors must have designed Stonehenge accordingly.

"Brilliant, forthright, controversial" - David Elkington


 Robin Heath has produced a beautifully illustrated book that opens up so many new and interesting facets to Stonehenge, including links to the Great Pyramid in Egypt, why it had to be built, where it is on the Earth, the many numerical and geometrical truths within its design and how the Sky really works.

This book is also a great introduction to stone circles in general, introducing their sacred geometries and alignment to the sky.
