Presentation of compelling evidence of a sophisticated, unified geometric plan connecting ancient monuments across Europe and beyond. Drawing on his new film Megaliths: Forgotten World and his book The Megalithic Plan, Crowhurst explains in detail how precise geometric relationships, involving fundamental sacred shapes oriented on cardinal axes, connect various sites in relation to their latitude and the cycles of the sun and moon. A lost science, called astro-geometry, emerges.
Key Arguments & Discoveries:
-
Carnac and the 3-4-5 Triangle: The video reiterates Crowhurst’s earlier work on the Carnac alignments,demonstrating how the summer solstice sunrise and equinox sunrise/sunset at the latitude of Carnac form an exact 3-4-5 Pythagorean triangle. This, he argues, shows a deliberate choice of latitude for its astro-geometric properties. An extract from his film illustrates the meticulous orientation of the Kermario alignments to this precise angle.
-
Long-Distance Meridian Lines: Crowhurst introduces the concept of extensive meridian lines linking distant sites with astonishing precision. A perfect north-south line connects the Gulva Menhir in southern Brittany to the Castlerigg Stone Circle in Cumbria, England, over 793 kilometers. This line, when extended further north to Maeshowe in Orkney, is divided according to the Golden Ratio, suggesting a deliberate, large-scale design.
-
Maeshowe and the 3-4-5 Triangle: The interior of the Maeshowe chambered cairn is shown to incorporate the 3-4-5 triangle in its alignments, particularly with the setting sun during the winter solstice. This principle of solar alignment on a 3-4-5 diagonal is also observed in other Breton dolmens like Gavrinis and Table des Marchands,demonstrating a consistent architectural and astronomical principle.
-
The Triple Square and Silbury Hill: The geometric form of the Triple Square (a 1:3 rectangle) is highlighted as another foundational element of this ancient plan. The distance and angle from the center of Silbury Hill to the center of Avebury Henge precisely form a Triple Square, with one side aligning perfectly north-south. This connection is further elaborated by showing how the distance relates to the circumference of the Earth and the side length of the Great Pyramid, suggesting advanced knowledge of global geodesy.
-
Connecting the UK Landscape: Crowhurst extends the Triple Square geometry across the UK, linking Silbury Hill to the Redstone Monolith and Castlerigg. This intricate grid of Triple Squares and a 5-12-13 triangle(connecting Redstone to Bryn Celli Ddu), along with other double square relationships (e.g., Castlerigg to the Devil’s Arrows), all oriented on cardinal axes, proposes a complex, interconnected layout of major sites, often utilizing prominent natural features like Ben Nevis and Cape Wrath.
-
The double square (a rectangle with a 1:2 ratio) is presented as another fundamental sacred shape, omnipresent in sacred sites across the globe. It appears in the architecture of the Carnac alignments in Brittany, in that of the main axis of the Karnak temple in Egypt (oriented towards the sunrise on the summer solstice of 1300 BC), in the stones of Stonehenge, and in the layout of major megalithic sites in Portugal such as the Zambujeiro dolmen and the Almendres cromlech.
Why Watch: This lecture challenges conventional archaeological narratives, proposing that ancient builders possessed a sophisticated understanding of mathematics, astronomy, and geodesy, implementing a grand, interconnected plan across vast distances. Crowhurst’s meticulous measurements and geometric analysis force a re-evaluation of the capabilities of prehistoric societies.
