A book of awe-inspiring new insights into history and the universe... Monuments like the Great Pyramid or Stonehenge let us wonder: Were the ancients more advanced than we realize? In Numbers of the Gods, Sylvain Tristan "does the math" and finds fascinating answers. Yes, the Bronze Age had its own superb astronomers. They knew the exact dimensions of our Earth, Sun and Moon, and that our planet rotates around the Sun, thousands of years BC.
New discoveries prove that Celtic Druids, and even more ancient people before them, used an amazingly precise and unified 366-degree geometry and astronomy to measure space and time. Many key sites of antiquity follow this geometry, from Babylon to Teotihuacán to the Great Pyramid of Giza. Stranger still, Druidic Initiates -- perhaps in the highest ranks of Freemasonry -- have discreetly continued to use this geometry in siting cities like Paris, Washington DC, and modern architectural monuments worldwide.
Strangest and most awe-inspiring of all, the magic numbers of the Druids -- 366, 4 and 1 -- seem to be encrypted in the dimensions of the solar system, the physics of our universe, and the biology of the human species, as if they were the signature of a Great Architect.
The revolutionary evidence in Numbers of the Gods is easy to check, the interpretation is limited only by your imagination!
About the Author
Sylvain Tristan is a high-school English teacher living in Chambéry in the French Alps. He has also lived in New York and Moscow.
In his first book, The Golden Lines (published in French in 2005) Tristan discovers that many of the worlds ancient capitals are located on Earth meridians and parallels belonging to an age-old, 366-degree geometry that was ultimately derived from a calendar. In his second book, Atlantis, First European Empire (2007) the author concludes that the myth of Atlantis is partly based upon real events occurring around the time when Stonehenge was built.
Sylvain is fond of historical mysteries, having studied history for many years. He is also a skeptic who believes a scientific, multilateral approach is the best way to solve these mysteries. As a former magician he is opposed to pseudoscience of all kinds.
