  This book represents the most startling series of discoveries about ancient history. In their earlier work, Civlization One , Knight and Butler presented evidence of a prehistoric measuring system that indicated the existence of a lost civilization. Now they have discovered that this measuring system, reflecting the positioning of the constellation Orion, was used to build the henges in ancient Britain long before the pyramids of Giza were constructed in a similar way. They also take the story into the modern era - discover how the United States revived these ancient patterns in the 1940's in certain government buildings, including the Pentagon.
