Description for Sacred Geometry of the Earth: The Ancient Matrix of Monuments and Mountains
Paperback. Identifies the patterns of our planet's design within the natural landscape. Num Pages: 288 pages, 170 b&w illustrations. BIC Classification: VX. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 228 x 152. .
From continent to continent across the globe, Mark Vidler and Catherine Young reveal that order is everywhere on Earth. On remote islands, soaring summits, and level deltas, they unveil natural topographic patterns related to pi, the golden ratio, and right-triangle geometry. And as the planet's design emerges, it becomes clear that this hidden order in nature decided the location of ancient monuments the world over. Through detailed maps, Vidler and Young show how the locations of megalithic monuments reflect and enhance a natural pattern on the Earth that connects its major features. The authors examine the geography of many islands and each continent, including Antarctica, to show how the highest peak on each landmass falls on a line connecting coastal extremes. They reveal how circles of standing stones and man-made mounds mark intersections of these lines.

Reviews for Sacred Geometry of the Earth: The Ancient Matrix of Monuments and Mountains
Authors Mark Vidler and Catherine Young, in a book loaded with photographs and illustrations, detail how ancient and distant man-made sites and mountain peaks across our planet's landscape curiously interconnect across the vast globe into various geometric patterns. From the Giza pyramids, Stonehenge, Machu Pichu, the standing stones of Carnac, Angkor Wat, and numerous other significant locations, the authors illustrate and explain the curious geographical correlations and search for meanings and explanations to try and explain these widespread patterns.

An astonishing piece of work and utterly compelling.
Allan Brown, illustrator and contributor to How the World Is Made
The intriguing theories of Catherine Young and Mark Vidler concerning the coincidence of prominent landscape features shown in their juxtapositions to express mathematical ratios in terms of nautical miles should not be dismissed.
