NEW SCIENCE / MATHEMATICS "An astonishing and important book." --John Anthony West, author of Serpent in the Sky "Marks a turning point in the recovery of a whole way of thinking stretching back perhaps tens of thousands of years." --Anthony Blake, author of The Intelligent Enneagram ." . . a bold and very important contribution to our understanding of our ancestors' genius." --William Sullivan, author of The Secret of the Incas Humanity's understanding of number was deeper and richer when the concept of creation was rooted in direct experience. The ancients encoded their secret knowledge of the skies within mythology, music, monuments, and units of sacred measurement. They understood that the ripeness of the natural world is the perfection of ratio and realized that the planetary environment--and time itself--was a creation of number. Modern sensibility favors knowledge based exclusively on physical laws. We have forgotten what our ancestors once knew: that numbers and their properties create the forms of the world. Ancient units of measurement hold within them the secrets of cosmic proportion and alignment that are hidden by the arbitrary decimal units of modern mathematical thinking. Relying on knowledge encoded in ancient myths and monuments as well as current astronomical data, Richard Heath shows that the planets in our solar system form interrelated numerical patterns with their orbits. The cohesion of these relationships and the ubiquity of certain sacred numbers within them form a matrix of creation, which provides numerical proof that our solar system was not an accidental creation. RICHARD HEATH is a Web developer and author with degrees in electrical and computer engineering. He lives in Scotland.
