Identifies the patterns of our planet’s design within the natural landscape • Explains the geometry inherent in the mountains and coasts on all continents • Reveals how ancient monuments were built to reflect and enhance the Earth’s design; often connecting sites around the world • Includes detailed maps that show the simple geometrical relationships among the world’s mountains; coastlines; islands; and ancient monuments From continent to continent across the globe; Mark Vidler and Catherine Young reveal that order is everywhere on Earth. On remote islands; soaring summits; and level deltas; they unveil natural topographic patterns related to pi; the golden ratio; and right-triangle geometry. And as the planet’s design emerges; it becomes clear that this hidden order in nature decided the location of ancient monuments the world over. Through detailed maps; Vidler and Young show how the locations of megalithic monuments reflect and enhance a natural pattern on the Earth that connects its major features. The rows of standing stones at Carnac in France; for example; point to the summits of Mount Everest and K2; and Angkor Wat in Cambodia is on a straight line joining Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and the tip of Cape Comorin in India. The authors examine the geography of many islands and each continent; including Antarctica; to show how the highest peak on each landmass falls on a line connecting coastal extremes. They reveal how circles of standing stones and man-made mounds mark intersections of these lines. They explore the connection between the Nazca lines in Peru and the Amazon; Nile; and Ganges deltas and explain how the locations of the Giza pyramids; Stonehenge; and Machu Picchu are integrated into the natural design on Earth. As they uncover geometric patterns on the Earth line by line; point by point; the authors reveal how the world’s ancient monuments represent a form of transglobal communication that far predates the written word.

Engdahl presents a comprehensive review of world events that have transpired over the past 100 years; revealing copious details that are left out of public school and college history texts. Now history makes sense to me. I never felt convinced that WWI was caused by an Archduke being assasinated by a nationalistic fanatic -- that was just a "black-op" engineered by world power brokers. The evil I see in todays world has just been evolving for a century; while the general public has been played like pawns in their blissful ignorance.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Strategy of People and Resources control by Rulling Anglo-American EliteBy faripour forouharOne of the best books on the topic. I have verified many of the critical statements from independant sources as well as my past 30 years of interest and experience with English foreign policy of "looting" other nations ; a fact not a conspiracy theory; which unfortunately was subscribed to by America after WWII with disasterous results for the exploited nations; such as Iraq (for oil) and Afghanestan (for Al Queida but more importantly for future pipe line from central Asia to Indian Ocean) - as recent examples. And; with QUESTIONALBE gain by our own nation; except perhaps for the top 1%. ISN'T THERE A BETTER WAY?0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy lionelhard to put down
