Sacred Landscape Geometry: From Neolithic to Post-Roman

There have been ‘schools’ and individuals from prehistoric times who have understood the subject of geometry well, each leaving their legacy of expertise in landscape geometries and the layout of their Sacred temples.

Modern education treats geometry largely as a learning confined within the boundaries of a sheet of paper. But geometry means ‘measuring the earth’, and the subject then becomes much more physical and demands levels of skill far beyond straight edge and compass. A geometer who masters such skills comes to understand Sacred Geometry as a central point within an array of other skills such as navigation, surveying, astronomy and metrology.

In this presentation, Robin Heath will show evidence that there have been ‘schools’ and individuals from prehistoric times who have understood this subject well, each leaving their legacy of expertise in landscape geometries and the layout of their Sacred temples.

This talk will be given by Robin Heath, who is an independent researcher into ancient wisdom. Internationally published, he has also worked with John Michell, John Martineau and Paul Broadhurst in the elucidation of the sciences understood and employed by prehistoric and ancient cultures. His previous work has been largely aimed towards a better understanding of the prehistoric remains in northern Europe, while present research has revealed convincing evidence connecting the legacy of the Neolithic and Bronze Age with the later flowering of the sixth century Celtic Church. Robin lives in coastal West Wales.
