Bauval, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Orion Mystery\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The suggestion that the Giza pyramids were laid out to represent the stars of Orion's belt, with the position of the River Nile reflecting the Milky Way, was first put forward by the renowned author Robert Bauval in his bestselling book \u003ci\u003eThe Orion Mystery.\u003c\/i\u003e In \u003ci\u003eBefore the Pyramids\u003c\/i\u003e, Christopher Knight and Alan Butler reveal that the British henges were arranged in the same formation--but much earlier. They also present irrefutable evidence that the astronomical calculations determining the layout of the pyramids could only have been made from the site of the henges in North Yorkshire. From this they can conclude that the pyramids of the pharaohs were conceived and planned in Britain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Their next stunning discovery takes us to modern times. They have found evidence that the whole Megalithic measuring system has survived into the 20th century. There are examples in Washington, DC--even in the positioning and construction of the Pentagon, which was only commenced in 1942 and is an exact copy of the dimensions of Stonehenge, dating to 3,000 BC.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Knight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907486666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907486661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Watkins Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/14\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2011 pg. 120","brand":"Christopher Knight","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942740230399,"sku":"9781907486661","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6ef42702-3c70-481a-befe-434f053eafb0.jpg?v=1681494075","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/before-the-pyramids-christopher-knight-9781907486661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
