Bronze Age Computer Disc

Here we pursue and resolve the obscure riddle of the Phaistos Disc and reveal an amazing truth: that Minoan Bronze Age man had a level of knowledge to match that of 20th-century Europe. Their mathematics was ahead of the Greeks and to this day we use a unit of their measure: the Nautical Mile. Here we demonstrate that Bronze Age man knew the world to be round, and that he could measure its circumference to within hundreds of metres!
This true detective story also demonstrates that the movement of the Earth in relation to the planets was fully understood. And that the Minoans had their own self-correcting calendar, which is something that we still haven’t managed to achieve! This is the story of their 366° circle and a most elegant system lost to mankind.
Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas (The Second Messiah) have tested this research for themselves and write:
’… the story Alan told was far stranger than we could have imagined … and sounded rather fanciful. But the cold-blooded result of our efforts was clear. Alan had to be right.’
‘He has rediscovered prehistoric knowledge and a system of super elegance that was lost before Moses reached the Promised Land. This is thinking of the highest order, of which any civilisation would justly be proud.’ ‘The sheer volume of supporting evidence from Megalithic sources make his explanation totally compelling.’ Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas. |
