All Done with Mirrors (Opus 2): An Exploration of Measure, Proportion, Ratio and Number

John Frederick Neal
4.4/5 (1290744 ratings)
“It would seem that in ages gone by, the intellectual grasp held by our ancestors of the nature of numbers was equal to our modern understandings of any of the branches of physics.” says John Neal in what must be the definitive textbook on Metrology, the ancient science of measure. This metrology is built on all of the metrological work of the ancients, the Greek writers and the great antiquarian researchers of recent centuries.

The book provides a grand history of metrology before revealing the different families, called modules, of historic measures giving exactly where specific variants of a given module were found. The rest of the book then visits familiar megalithic and New World monumental sites and analyses them in terms of the rebuilt ancient system of measure used to build them.

From this the diligent reader will be rewarded, by gaining a unique tool known only to few people—a tool that is literally the key to the monumental cultures of the past. There is still much work to be done in understanding monuments and so even an amateur interest can recover potentially ground breaking information.

This book is enthralling, a little masterpiece. It goes more deeply than any before it into the ancient units of measure which, as early historians testify, are exact fractions of the earth’s dimensions. It adds proof to the growing body of evidence that points to an advanced and widespread prehistoric civilization. —Colin Wilson (author of The Atlantis Blueprint)
