Interesting but case not proven - By: , 27 Feb 2005
I share the author's love of Crete & ancient history. However he has not _proven_ that the Phaistos Disc is astronomical. All that part is speculation. He has not even translated it. The idea that the zodiac came from Crete is completely opposite to the scholarly view that it evolved in Mesopotamia. The Glasgow University research, which he relies on, could support the Mesopotamian origin as much as a Cretan one. In order to restore perspective, I recommend going to Michael Baigent's "From the Omens of Babylon". Half a million cuneiform tablets make a strong case!
So good,just had to be shared! - By: , 16 Aug 2000
for themost of my life,like alan,I always wondered why we have such a clumsy fitting way of measuring time.As a teenager I remember trying to work out decimal clocks & calenders,hoping for an easy sollution to an age old problem. Imagine my joy after living by the dikte mountains on & off for the last 12 years that the key to the planets geometry was recorded 4000yrs ago not to far from where i chose to make my home.Only I felt it a shame that the majority of people who had a right to knowledge of such calibre couldnt digest it in their own language. This hopefully will soon be rectified. I am eagerly awaiting for the next installlment from alan on this subject .My only dissapointment was the apparrent occassional contradictions . i.e the origin of the telescope. when surely the re-invention of the telescpe was a dutch sailor probably . Not invention This of course was minoan as previously stated. I have since returned to crete & people are starting to take notice of the arcane knowledge revealed by one mans determination to find the truth. Come on,lets hear what else youve discovered alan! Cheers......And once again thankyou.
A Remarkable Piece of Research - By: , 12 Dec 1998
Alan Butler has broken through the mists of time to uncover how our ancestors invented the calender & a system of integrated mathematics which is far more sophisticated than anything we use today.

If you have ever been interested in the work of Alexander Thom & want to know why the neolithic people built so many stone circles just read this wonderful book!
