description: What if science and writing developed from an advanced prehistoric civilisation in the British Isles?What if written evidence in the Dead Sea Scrolls records megalithic history in Western Europe and provides the plans for a machine that could rebuild civilisation following a global catastrophe?And what if Jesus and his brother James were practitioners of megalithic astronomy?A new and totally unexpected explanation of the origins of civilisation has emerged from recent discoveries. Instead of the apparently sudden flowering some 10,000 years ago, evidence of an older civilisation is being unearthed.In "Uriel's Machine" Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas offer powerful new evidence that our planet was hit by seven mountain-sized lumps of comet, creating a series of giant waves that ripped across the globe.Putting together the latest findings of leading geologists with their own sensational new archaeological discoveries, they show how a civilisation emerged and was able to build an international network of sophisticated astronomical observatories which provided accurate calendars, could measure the diameter of the planet and accurately predict comet impact years in advance. They reveal that this is the true purpose of the great megalithic sites in Western Europe, build long before the Egyptian pyramids. Further, they show that the Book of Enoch, long a part of ancient tradition of Freemasonry but then rediscovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls, contains precise details on the building of a machine in the reconstruction of a shattered world.Using hard science and their own reconstruction of an ancient technology in many ways more sophisticated than modern methods, Knight and Lomas put forward findings here that will change the way we view man's distant past - and may help us better understand our future.
