The making of my new book has been a long journey. It was the fall of 2012 when I first visited Carnac and the Kercado triangle and passage chamber. That’s when I first realized that stone age people were not the stupid harry brutes that I was led to believe. These ancient people knew about the Pythagorean triangle back six thousand years ago! Did Pythagoras visit Carnac? Is that where he found out about the ratio of the sides of a right-angled triangle? Was information lost and rediscovered?
That visit in 2012 started me questioning the whole concept that we, as a people, are growing more intelligent, and that this intelligence is just now burgeoning.
How and why did the ancients align over 300 granite standing stones in rows at Carnac and the surrounding district? Why are we fed the nonsensical explanation that a pagan army was pursuing Saint Cornelius and when he reached the sea, either he or Merlin the Wizard turned the pursuing army into stone, creating the rows of megaliths. Is the Christian Church trying to cover up the truth, or do they think we are stupid?
And how and why did the ancient people erect the large stone, the Manio Giant, that stands over 21 feet near the quadrangle? How did the stone age people build Stonehenge and all the stone monuments scattered all over northwestern Europe? Why are we told that we should accept Stonehenge as a mystery and that we can never understand it? Why are the facts left in plain sight for us to see so heavily guarded and denied?
It seems more credible to me that our ancient ancestors possessed knowledge and technology that is lost to us today and that we are just now rediscovering a small part of it.
I set out fourteen years ago to try to answer some of these questions. It seems that no matter how much I delve into the mysteries, there is much more research that can be done. But I must stop the research now and share the small bit I have come to uncover. So, I wrote a book of fiction that incorporates what seems to be a few basic necessities that allowed our ancestors to achieve such monumentous tasks.
First, these stone age people were peaceful. In order to be peaceful, their culture had to be equalitarian. There was no hierarchy unless it was merit based.
