About the book >.>.> The New View Over Atlantis is John Michell's comprehensive examination of megalithic science, the mysteries of the earth, and the significance of number and measure. This revised edition builds on the original work, offering new insights gathered from Michell's research since 1969. Colin Wilson praised the book as a seminal work, suggesting it will provoke debate for decades.Michell investigates ancient earthworks and stone monuments, proposing that these structures were part of a worldwide system initially connected to the legendary Atlantis. He delves into the concept of 'leys', a mysterious network of straight lines linking significant ancient sites. His research indicates that similar structures are found not only across Britain but also in places like China, Australia, and South America, alluding to an interconnected ancient civilizational framework.The author?s in-depth studies of historical measures, such as the foot and mile, reveal their exact values across various cultures, including the Greeks, Romans, Jews, and Egyptians. These units recur in the dimensions of notable monuments worldwide, from Stonehenge to Teotihuacan. This body of evidence illuminates aspects of prehistoric science, interweaving findings from archaeology, astronomy, and geology to affirm that traditional sacred sites served as centres of natural magic.Accompanied by 82 illustrations, this edition enhances the reader's understanding of Michell's groundbreaking ideas, making the work not only a significant contribution to the discourse on ancient practices but also a valuable resource for those interested in the confluence of ancient knowledge and modern discovery.
