A DVD of discovery that will change forever your view on our British prehistoric ancestors; the nature and purpose of their communal camps, barrows, mounds and standing stones.
The opinion held by those considered expert in prehistory or archaeology, is that all our antiquities were randomly located by primitive, warring factions some 4 - 6,000 years ago, whose main preoccupation was ritual burial of their dead.
Tom Brooks from Devon has spent much of a long life studying the arrangement of these ancient sites across southern Britain, where they are to be found in greater profusion than elsewhere in the world and concludes that such a view is entirely misleading.
His research, based upon the true position of each unit relative to all others according to the Ordnance Survey National Grid, reveals that all are related geometrically by isosceles triangles (having two sides equal) and projected alignments of remarkable accuracy over great distances. Further, such isosceles triangulation was directed from and focused upon a single, central feature more than 5,000 years old - Silbury Hill on the Marlborough Downs in Wiltshire.
Tom has produced a series of hand-drawn charts to demonstrate these discoveries that have involved tens of thousands of calculations, using precise National Grid geodetic positioning references. These charts are included with commentary in the second half of a DVD; the first half being devoted to an illustrated interview with Tom by Geoff Ward of England’s Western Daily Press, that explores the background to this fascinating work. The charts are repeated with statistical support on an accompanying CD which can be studied at leisure, including an additional chart illustrating sixteen ancient stations aligned from Cornwall to Kent, with every unit accurately triangulated by isosceles conformation to Silbury Hill - proof positive of the previously undreamt creative and surveying skill of the Ancients.
Tom's work ranges across the whole of Southern Britain from the Scilly Isles off Cornwall to Norfolk; from Anglesey and North Wales to Kent and Sussex in the South East. Every important antiquity, as well as a great many lesser mounds, cairns and single standing stones in remote locations are brought into the detailed calculations to demonstrate their geometric relationship and importance.
There are twelve charts displayed on the DVD that range from the likely conditions experienced in mesolithic time following the last Ice Age, through various permutations of hitherto undiscovered alignments coast to coast and their isosceles relationship to Silbury Hill to a final diagram that illustrates the staggering fact that England's Cathedrals, Abbeys, Priories and Churches fall into the same triangulated patterning. From this it can be concluded that they were all built on prehistoric sites, hallowed for many centuries before. Remember too, that the isosceles triangle was not recognised as a geometric property for at least another two millennia.
Probably the most thought-provoking aspect of Tom's work is that all the camps, mounds and stone circles are best seen from above, often indiscernible at low level and that all the calculated distances involved are 'flat-plane' or direct point to point above the surface, rather than the geographic or actual travelled distance one might expect primitive people to employ.
Proof is provided that the aligned trackways of this ancient system of navigation and communication formed the basis of the straight track system across England that has always been credited to the Romans who arrived three millennia later.
