The moon has confounded scientists for many years. It does not obey the known rules of astrophysics & there is no theory of its origin that explains the known facts
- in fact it should not really be there. When researching the ancient system of geometry & measurement used in the Stone Age that they discovered in their previous book Civilization One" the authors discovered to their great surprise that the system also works perfectly on the Moon! On further investigation they found a consistent sequence of beautiful integer numbers when looking at every major aspect of the Moon
- no pattern emerges for any other planet or moon in the solar system. For example the Moon revolves at exactly one hundredth of the speed that the Earth turns on its axis; the Moon is exactly 400 times smaller than the Sun & is precisely 400 times closer to the Earth. They also discovered that the Moon possesses little or no heavy metals & has no core in fact many specialists suspect that the Moon is hollow. If our Moon did not exist
- nor would we. Experts are now agreed that higher life only developed on Earth because the Moon is exactly what it is & where it is! When all of the facts are dispassionately reviewed it becomes unreasonable to cling to the idea that the Moon is a natural object. The only question that remains is who built it? " Thought-provoking"
