Across much of the earth’s surface are ancient earthworks and stone monuments built for an unknown purpose. Their shared features suggest that they were originally part of a world wide system; and John Michell argues that they served the elemental science of the archaic civilization which Plato referred to as Atlantis. Michell reveals that the various stone monuments and earthworks found about the globe – from the Pyramids to Stonehenge to Teotihuacan – are not randomly strewn, but are a well-executed system of psychic centres connected worldwide and used by the people of Atlantis. Michell also demonstrates the significant modern discovery of ‘leys’, a mysterious network of straight lines that links ancient places around the world. Clues to the nature of prehistoric science, drawn from archaeology, astronomy, geology and other studies, confirm that traditional sacred places were centres of natural magic, used by Druids and other ancient seers. Current research points to the rediscovery of a principle in nature which could revolutionize our understanding – and our treatment – of our planet.

Review: This is an area of study that can be heavy going in its detail, but quite simple when viewing the wood rather than the trees. Those centrifugal and centripetal spirals of antiquity are a bit of a clue. It’s all done by mirroring essentially. ( Rudolf Steiner’s “The Fourth Dimension” and Bruce Burger’s “Esoteric Anatomy” are two of the best books for joining up the initial dots as you progress along the seekers path in my opinion ). All of John Michell’s books are worth finding, this one in particular is one to read and read again. 

John Michell (1933 – 2009) was an English author and esotericist who was a prominent figure in the development of the Earth mysteries movement.

NOTE: This is an original  book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. The Midsummer House experience is imaginatively curated to delight and amaze, so the surprise set menu changes regularly and is ‘Midsummer’s’ playground to showcase.

In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
