Although the megaliths of Europe were to come nearly 5,000 years later, the book marshals evidence from mathematics, astronomy, sacred architecture, and tone theory to show that these structures were a successor to Göbekli Tepe. The book disentangles many threads that went into the creation of the Classical Age.” * Subhash Kak, Regents Professor at Oklahoma State University and author of The Astronomical Code of t * “Richard Heath’s in-depth study of the sacred science and cosmology of the ancient matrilineal societies around the Mediterranean is a compelling tour de force. Beautifully explained with clear diagrams and tables, the implications of this work are far reaching.” * Allan Brown, coauthor of Crooked Soley: A Crop Circle Revelation * “In this extraordinary book, Richard Heath synthesizes more than 10,000 years of art, architecture, harmony, geometry, astronomy, and metrology, once again demonstrating the reach, power, and persistence of these perennial traditions.” * John Martineau, CEO of Wooden Books * “The esoteric knowledge encoded in ancient sacred sites is being revealed now. As the result of more than two hundred years of global archaeology and site analysis using metrology, sacred geometry, and cosmological analysis, surprising insights about sacred places are coming forth. These remarkable findings are brilliantly described in Richard Heath’s Sacred Geometry in Ancient Goddess Cultures. He shows us how Mesolithic priestesses and Neolithic priests designed sacred places to resonate with the powers of Earth in synchronicity with the cycles of the moon, planets, and stars. Then later cultures, such as the Greeks, followed ancient guidance as well as using music, harmony, mythology, and storytelling. As I contemplated these insights pouring out of Heath’s marvelously insightful mind, I felt a bond with these creators; I could feel their joy! This wonderful and beautifully illustrated book invites us to feel Gaia, the sacred feminine of Earth. For me, this ancient lineage can be described as the Matriarchy through Patriarchy into Humanarchy—our return to ecological worship—knowing Earth in our bodies as we contemplate the cosmos.” * Barbara Hand Clow, author of Awakening the Planetary Mind * “I have been reading and learning from Richard Heath’s books over the last 20 years; Sacred Geometry in Ancient Goddess Cultures is the best he has written, compiling the knowledge and experience gained in previous books into a single masterpiece.” * Noor Bosra, author of Plato and the Quran * “Sacred numbers have always been a part of Richard Heath’s writing, and it is no surprise that in this book he makes the case that religion developed from a pure science of horizon astronomy. This ancient knowledge evolved over thousands of years and influenced religion as practiced today. The author describes three major themes: that horizon astronomy developed in matriarchal societies thousands of years ago; that this knowledge was subsumed by a transition to a patriarchal system; and that in this transition, numbers—having lost their true meaning—became sacred. You may be left pondering what if the transition from Goddess to Father had not taken place.” * Dan Palmateer, ancient geometry researcher * “A valuable body of research in which Heath weaves a fine web of intrigue and illumination.” * Mark Vidler, coauthor of Sacred Geometry of the Earth * Author InformationRichard Heath, M.Sc., is a system designer who studies the technical achievements of the ancient world, from those of the megalithic astronomers to sacred building design. He is the author of six books, including Sacred Number and the Origins of Civilization and Sacred Geometry: Language of the Angels. He lives near Cardigan in Wales.
