The New View over Atlantis

Discusses leys, the mysterious straight line alignments of prehistoric sites and natural landmarks, and points out the significance of numbers in the construction and structure of prehistoric monuments

Across much of the earth are ancient earthworks and stone monuments built for an unknown purpose. Their shared features suggest that they were originally part of a world wide system; and John Mitchell argues that they served the elemental science of the archaic civilization which Plato referred to as Atlantis. In this connection the most significant modern discovery is that of 'leys, ' the mysterious network of straight lines which link the ancient places of Britian and have their counterparts in China, Australia, South America and elsewhere.
