John Michell

The priests of ancient Egypt preserved a canon of harmonies and proportions, which they applied to music, art, statecraft, and all the institutions of their civilization. In this book, John Michell demonstrates how the same canon underlies sacred structures from ancient times to the Christian era – in the measurements of Stonehenge, the foundation plan of Glastonbury, in Plato’s Atlantis and the Heavenly City of the New Jerusalem. The central revelation of this book is a structure of geometry and number representing the essential order of the heavens and functioning as a map of paradise.
