Why is the main axis of Versailles oriented towards sunset on August 15, and why isn't this fact known? Why is the Apollo fountain, with its sun chariot, placed exactly on this axis? What is the significance of this second château, the Trianon, built by Louis XIV "for myself" and where he kept a meticulous eye on all the work? How might this deliberately chosen 17th-century location relate to an ancient calendar? Howard Crowhurst presents a thesis that the architecture from our recent past has preserved certain secrets from prehistory. He demonstrates the use of astro-geometry - an ancient megalithic science - in one of the most prestigious sites of European history: Versailles. The story of Louis XIII, who placed France under the protection of the Virgin Mary and introduced the national feast day of August 15, and that of his son, Louis XIV the Sun King, suddenly take on a whole new dimension. Richly illustrated with over 80 photographs and illustrations, this fascinating investigation takes us back to the origins of French royalty, revealing a preciously guarded oral tradition.

Megalitické řady u Carnacu jsou nejzachovalejšími kamennými alejemi na světě, obsahují dnes něco přes 3 000 kamenných bloků. Jsou také velmi staré - nedávný výzkum datoval vyhloubení základů pro jeden obří menhir do 7. tisíciletí př. n. l. O lidech, kteří tyto kamenné monumenty vztyčili, se nedochovala žádná písemná ani ústně předávaná zmínka. Přesto - nebo právě proto - jejich stavby dodnes vzbuzují úžas. A jen pomalu odhalují svá prastará tajemství. Tato malá knížka, doprovázená řadou ilustrací a názorných plánků, se snaží zodpovědět klíčovou otázku: kdo tyto kamenné řady budoval a za jakým účelem.
