Megalithic Yards

close

Bonjour, happy new year etc.

I've been doing some more reading, (I'm well and truly hooked - got the MA for my birthday but that's another story!) and would be grateful for any opinions or comments on Megalithic Yards, particularly their ties with Altlantis. Fiction or Fact? A lot of what Alexander Thom has said goes over my head, I'm afraid.

PS - Rhiannon, I just looked at the link of the lion on the Devizes Museum website and nearly fell off my chair.

That doesn't read well - what are peoples opinions on Alexander Thom's theories of megalithic yards?

jacksprat, what follows are the findings of myself, a dowser, draw your own conclusions.
As I have been attempting to measure the lines I detect, I have obviously studied any relevent measurements associated with these and with the prehistoric sites.
This has meant that I have compared prof Thoms findings with my own, to see if they match etc.
What I find is that he was obviously a fine surveyor and a maths man. but what he recorded was from that point of view.
His work is fabulous, but it doesnt quite tally with what I detect, of course he may be right and I may be not .?
He devised a method to determine a measurement that is so conveluted, no way could people all over the globe have done this.
But what I detect is a measurable set of dimensions that conform to nature, .618, 1.618.
The best buildings in the world to check these findings are on our doorstep, the Norman churchs, I consider they knew this method of measure as well as I do.
They are built to devine proportions, perfection.
The ancient sites are to the same , built for much the same reasons as the churchs, but obviously well before any christianity.
The lines I detect must eminate from somewhere out in the vast unknown, so I am not capable of even contemplating from whom or where .
