Einstein believed that matter must arise from a simple set of physical dynamics. So did many of the classic ancient creation traditions, such as the Buddhist and Hindu traditions in India, the Kabbalist tradition of Judaism, and the Dogon and Egyptian creation traditions of Africa.Priests of the modern-day Dogon tribe of Mali point to a set of primordial processes of matter that go well beyond what modern popularizers of physics typically discuss. Techniques of comparative cosmology help us to align those processes with likely scientific counterparts, based on a consensus of ancient views.What's revealed are new and compelling perspectives on how our universe is said to interact with a non-material twin universe, how the dimensions of time and space are understood to emerge from non-materiality, and how these seemingly scientific archaic concepts formed an enduring foundation for ancient and modern religion.This book is the most recent in a series of comparative studies of ancient cosmology and language by independent researcher, Laird Scranton.

Just after 4000 BCE, a group of settlers took up residence in the Orkney Islands in Northern Scotland. They established the earliest family farms of the United Kingdom, and later the UK's first known farming village, Skara Brae. This same group later erected some of the earliest and finest megalithic structures in the British Isles - centuries before Dynastic Egypt. There is no academic consensus regarding who these first Orcadian farmers were, or from where they originated, in part because each societal element found on Neolithic Orkney is either seen as unique to the region, or else fails to point definitively to any particular place of origin. Each might conceivably have arrived on Orkney by any number of different paths. . However, there is another approach to these questions of origin. It begins with recognizing several distinct clusters of founding elements on Orkney - some agricultural, others architectural, some linguistic, some that pertain to animal husbandry - still others that are symbolic or cosmological in nature. Some rest with cultural practices that likely existed on the island from earliest times. These clusters share a common origination point and we can show that they migrated hand-in-hand with each other, and by what likely path. As we follow that track of transmission we shed new light on how ancient cultural traditions must necessarily have related to one another. Certain mysteries of word etymology, choice of locality for various ancient sites, naming of sites, matching architectural forms, and common mythological themes seem to intuitively resolve. We come to see certain references as constants across the tradition. These threads sensibly tie an archaic symbolic tradition to Orkney through a series of historical eras and geographical regions.

The Giza Template, Temple Graal, Earth Measure is the first book in a series documenting the research of Master Woodworker Edward G. Nightingale in terms for the layperson as well as the adept. It is written from the point of view of ancient architects, astronomers and mathematicians faced with the daunting task of constructing a repository of scientific data encoded within an architectural design. The design would be required to withstand natural and manmade cataclysmic events over 600 generations into the future. Based on this hypothesis the author presents a compelling case with a precise geometric, mathematical model that re-creates the architect's original design of the Giza Plateau. He began his research by using a reverse engineering technique, re-drawing and measuring what is actually constructed while comparing the Template model with multiple accurate satellite images and official survey data of the Giza plateau. Follow along step by step as the Giza Complex is re-created from scratch using only a simple template model that defines the precise dimensions and placement of eleven pyramids as well as the Sphinx and its temples. Learn what the ancient architects were encoding within the complex and the message they were conveying to their remote descendants. This book, Temple Graal, Earth Measure is the first of the series and reveals in detail the system of measure of the Earth including base units of measure beginning with the musical scale, the mile, yard, feet, and inches as well as five separate cubit measurements. What is presented is not theoretical; it is reproducible using the scientific method and is the foundation for the book series. This is a must read for anyone who is truly interested in understanding why Giza's pyramids and Sphinx were created. The second book in the series, Measuring the Heavens connects the Earth measure with the Great Sphinx acting as the "witness" to the movements of the heavens indexing with its counterpart the constellation of Leo within the 13 Zodiac constellations. The book also confirms the Orion Correlation Theory as presented by Robert Bauval in his book, The Orion Mystery. As one would suspect, once the Giza plan was decoded there would be a deluge of information to examine. This is the case, and author Edward Nightingale invites the skeptics, the layperson as well as the adept and academic to reproduce The Giza Template and learn the profound knowledge our ancient ancestors encoded at Giza to survive the great cycle of the ages when it would be of the utmost importance for the survival of humanity. The Giza Template re-writes the view of our ancient past.The Giza Template is "The Architectural Rosetta Stone" John Anthony West "Edward Nightingale is an accomplished architect with a deep sense of mission. He has devoted many years in a solitary attempt to extract the lost knowledge encoded in the mathematical and astronomical design of the Giza Necropolis. These ancient giant structures that have stood in brooding silence for a score of millennia may at long last discharge a "message for the planet" thanks to his brilliant work and dedication. A must-have book for all questing for that mysterious lost knowledge which allowed humans to raise unbelievably massive stone monuments with such baffling precision and ease".Robert Bauval

The Hindu Elephant god Ganesha is perhaps the most widely popular of ancient deities, and so was the focus of many popular myths. However, his very interesting symbolism is also pivotal to ancient concepts of creation in India. While evidence for Ganesha dates back only to the late centuries BCE in India, comparative studies tie him to ancient African and Egyptian concepts that originated thousands of years earlier. These references provide us with a sensible context for Ganesha's symbolism, described in distinctly scientific terms. These link his various incarnations, attributes and icons to root dynamics of energy - the very ones that modern-day science tells us lie at the heart of concepts of material creation. Those dynamics, along with important clues uncovered in ancient language and myth, make it possible to reformulate a sensible myth of origin for Ganesha, in much the same form that it may have originally taken.
