Modern Megaliths: What will the People of 5000 AD Think of These Century-Old Sound Mirrors?
Megaliths around the world - from Stonehenge to Sacsayhuaman - have intrigued the modern world, with an air of mystery surrounding their construction, and their function. So what then do you think people of future millennia might imagine the monolithic 'sound mirrors' that haunt the coastline of southern England were used for? Not even a century after their construction, most of the general public would have little idea when, or for what purpose, they were built.

Harpo, put this in your diary, and get on the tube to the event will you?
You'll need to educate them about TME sacred geometry.
Do take notes, we'll be asking questions afterwards.

Dr Oliver Robinson – An introduction to sacred geometry and mystical mathematics - 21st August 2017

Geometry is a key foundation of science and technology, while also being an artistic form and contemplative focus within many spiritual traditions. This participative talk will introduce and explore some of the key figures and concepts of sacred geometry, and how they relate to key concepts in Pythagorean and Vedic mathematics, such as the golden ratio, Fibonacci sequence and Vedic Square. Attendees are asked to bring a pen, some paper, and a book or clipboard to lean on, so that they can participate in interactive activities that will bring the ideas within the talk to life.

Olly Robinson is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology, and writer on the interaction between science and spirituality. His book “Paths Between Head and Heart: The Seven Harmonies of Science and Spirituality” will be published in early 2018.


On 21st Aug 2017 7:30:pm, at Hampstead London. It's organised by some of my chums in the Scientific and Medical Network (SMN).

Seems I was right about Avebury meaning Avenue. Borough Avenue to be more precise unless it was Borry Avenue.

And at the end of the avenue there was a house. A square house. The garden design with all the rockery came later.

Mark Gillings, an archaeologist at the University of Leicester who led the work, told the Guardian: “Our working interpretation is that the house is the first thing. It falls into ruin but they’re still remembering and respecting it. They put a square around it about 3000 BC and then the circles. It’s like ripples on a pond coming out from the house.”


That's from the Guardian but as to be expected the Daily Mail goes into more detail.

Archaeologists believe the structure was made to commemorate the building of a Neolithic house, which was first discovered on the site on the 1930s.


That's the way it goes. Build your first house and the rest is easy

Very close indeed!

Chateau Boreades is almost on direct line of sight of the Green Street (Herepath) departing Avebury Central heading east.

Not to be confused with the Central Line heading east toward Green Park.
That would be Knotting Hull territory?

It bodes well for the toll-houses, or hermitages if you prefer, as discussed in The Megalithic Empire

"Geometry is a key foundation of science and technology, while also being an artistic form and contemplative focus within many spiritual traditions."

1. Geometry is a key foundation in a very few areas of science.
2. Geometry is not a key foundation in any branch of technology
3. Science should never be bracketed with technology, they have very little in common.
4. Geometry is not a focus in any artistic form
5. Geometry is not a focus in any spiritual tradition
6. Recurring and regular patterns are very occasionally used in both and are referred to as 'geometric' by people who are not very bright but who are enthusiastic about these artistic forms and spiritual traditions.

Should I trot along and tell the congregation these simple truths and, if I did, would they be inclined to listen?
You'll need to educate them about TME sacred geometry

This will be tricky since TME is dedicated to the proposition that sacred geometry was non-existent for practical purposes. And scientific ones as well.

Try calculating the bend of a pipe without a knowledge of geometry and you'll be without a paddle pretty soon.

Even the Italian pasta mongers have taken inspiration from the simple U bend.

The concept for The Geometry of Pasta was inspired by a poster of plumbing grommets that detailed the exact profile, dimensions and qualities of each component. Inspired by the parallel between the mechanics of pasta and plumbing, we created a set of technical drawings of each shape all at actual size, so comparisons could be made between shapes.

And not a word of Pastarianism.

As for geometry in building design or even patterns in tiled floors and where would the arabs be without geometry? They'd certainly have swords that don't slice so well.

Plumbing may not be up your alley so here's a basic instructional course for Indian machining technicians.

It would be useful for anyone training in something technical and practical and uses geometry once you get past the basic maths. Lots of triangles and things with long Greek names.

It's written in a simple to understand kind of way.

Well, I a not a Civil Engineer. Neither am I an Architect. But I'm pretty damn sure that none of 'em would design and build any aesthetically pleasing building without a very thorough knowledge of geometry. And an understanding of all the classic forms of architecture (Doric etc) depends on understanding the differences in their geometric rules.

Even with t'interweb technology, geometry has a crucial role to play. Minimum radius of optical-fibre plumbing is a geometric issue. So is the layout of integrated circuits and microprocessors.

This sort of thing is always put forward. You are mistaking geometry for measurement. And very simple measurement at that.

Precisely so. Not geometry. And I see you have converted it into an artistic design.
