Ancient Metrology. Signed 1st. Ed. #187 of 504. John Michell 1981

The Dimensions of Stonehenge and of the Whole World as therein symbolized. Pictures are of the actual item. According to our research, this is the only known copy in North America, and the only signed copy available anywhere.

Hank Harrison was a personal friend of the author, who gifted him this copy, during a visit in 1981. Here for the first time are set out the exact lengths of the ancient units which measured Stonehenge and other such monuments as the Parthenon and the Egyptian pyramids. These same units, some of which survive in traditional metrologies from Britain to China, were also applied to the dimensions of the earth as accurately known in prehistoric times. From the facts displayed in this book there follow some remarkable conclusions about the achievements of the ancient science. Also raised are important questions as to the date and source of that science and the history of its universal rise and decline.

All of the books listed on mommasclosets are from the library of my late spouse, Hank Harrison. Most have been well read as part of his research for his books on The Grateful Dead, his late son-in-law Kurt Cobain, and his life's work on the Holy Grail in connection with European archaeology.

Many have highlights and notes in his handwriting. There are also many books on psychology from his studies at San Francisco State University. Many of these books were among Hank's most prized possessions, but, with no one to inherit, I have to disperse his entire estate, which includes a vast collection of Haight-Ashbury and Grateful Dead memorabilia, photographs and letters. 1 and 2 of The Dead Books, and Love Kills, The Assassination of Kurt Cobain, at substantial discounts.

All reasonable offers on any items will be given careful consideration.
