Critics Review
“Richard Heath sweeps away the mechanistic and relativistic paradigm to reveal an earth-centered, celestial system founded upon the beauty of musical harmony and geometric symmetry.” * Robert Lawlor, author of Sacred Geometry and Voices of the First Day *
“Richard Heath effectively rewrites the book on the mysterious but accomplished megalithic cultures preceding ancient Egypt, Sumer, China, and India.” * John Anthony West, author of Serpent in the Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt *
“… well-expressed, with a deep insight into the ancient science.” * John Michell, author of The Dimensions of Paradise *
“Books such as this must be read if we are to hold back the New Dark Ages. Heath’s book is profound and the product of years of study and thought. These things have been kept from us by institutional forces and preserved in secret. Only an understanding of these principles can save us.” * Robert Temple, author of Oracles of the Dead and The Sirius Mystery *
“You do not have to be deeply into the field of mathematics, or the field of esoteric numbers, to enjoy this book, and to gain some wisdom from it. The discussions on secret societies, and those on sacred numbers and architecture are absolutely breathtaking! Well written, and easily understood, this book has a place with those who wish to understand their own lives better.” * Bonnie Cehovet, Angelfire.com, Feb 2007 *
“An intriguing study into humanity’s sacred origins.” * Nexus, May-June, 2007 *
” … in-depth look at the world of sacred geometry that holds your attention, making it an easy read.” * Rahasya Poe, Lotus Guide magazine, Sept/Oct 2007 *
