About the Author

Richard Heath, M.Sc., is a system designer who studies the technical achievements of the ancient world, from those of the megalithic astronomers to sacred building design. He is the author of 5 books, including Sacred Number and the Origins of Civilization and The Harmonic Origins of the World. He lives near Cardigan in Wales.

Reviews

“Heath illuminates the cosmological ideas informing the teachings of John Bennett and George Gurdjieff. His book is a masterful insight into the origins of ancient wisdom, presented with impeccable analyses of megalithic and historical monuments. It gives a theory of angelic or higher intelligence based on astronomy, music, and number--reflecting the ‘deep thought’ operating at the start of human consciousness.”
*ANTHONY BLAKE, author of A Gymnasium of Beliefs in Higher Intelligence*

“In Sacred Geometry, Richard Heath proposes, based on his deep and comprehensive analysis of primary sacred sites, that numbers and geometries are the primary medium for divine creation. He proves these sites were built based on specific numbers and geometrical patterns that correspond with the musical octaves. Heath concludes angels inspired these sites to advance evolution on Earth, a very radical idea. If this is true, then angelic science guided the numeric order built into Earth’s design and it’s unfolding in time. I think he’s right. Sacred Geometry is a deep and sustained meditation with the mind of Gaia--brilliant!”
*BARBARA HAND CLOW, author of Awakening the Planetary Mind*

“Richard Heath has deeply studied the astonishing harmonic insights possessed by the creators of ancient stone structures. He translates for us the sacred languages of number, tone, and geometry that they embodied in stone as expressions of and homage to the cosmic order found in the sky.”
*JOHN OSCAR LIEBEN, author of Sacred Geometry for Artists, Dreamers, and Philosophers*

“Richard Heath’s erudite and rigorous magnum opus ranges eloquently from Pythagoras to Gurdjieff, via Hamlet’s Mill, and demonstrates that for the diligent moon counter, sacred geometry is truly a ‘language of Being.’”
*GARETH MILLS, The Speaking Tree Bookshop, Glastonbury*

“Loaded with detailed illustrations, diagrams, graphs, and photographs, Heath transports the reader around the world demonstrating his knowledge and insights into how all of this ancient knowledge fits together and can be understood by the modern intellectual and spiritual mind.”--
*Brent Raynes, Alternate Perceptions Archival Newsletter*

"In this beautifully illustrated thesis, Heath shows precisely how number, proportion and astronomy were inter-related in cultures all over the world to express the ideals of divine wisdom. The book not only demonstrates these processes with photos and diagrams but also shows why this ‘science’ is important and must not be lost."
*Fortean Times*

"All in all, Sacred Geometry frames the foundation of the universe, physical building, and human life in an entirely new way. By focusing on the mathematics of that time, rather than the abstracted forms used now, a new perspective emerges. I am open to the possibility of a higher intelligence imparting the template for humanity to grow, and I enjoyed how this book pushed the boundaries of what’s commonly accepted in many fields, from religion to science to math."
