Ancient Metrology, Vol I: A Numerical Code - Metrological Continuity in Neolithic, Bronze, and Iron Age Europe

John Neal

The first of three volumes of John Neal’s collected works.
Not only is the megalithic system largely ignored by archaeologists, it is opposed - even by the numerate among their ranks. This position is now untenable, as it can be shown that the megalithic yard shared an origin with the Sumerian cubit. And the foot-measure used in England - equivalent to a Greek foot - proves to have played a pivotal role in the whole metrological system. It is ironic that just as it is being thrown on the scrap heap of history, its historical importance is beginning to be recognised. Professor Michael Vickers, University of Oxford, review of Neal’s work in Nature: International Weekly Journal of Science. 2001.
