This is the amazing story of how a quest to try to crack the mystery of the Megalithic Yard - an ancient unit of linear measurement - led to the discovery of compelling evidence pointing to the existence of an unknown, highly advanced culture which was the precursor to the earliest known civilizations such as the Sumerians and the Egyptians. There must have been a Civilization One. Knight and Butler reveal the secrets of an extraordinary integrated measuring system which might have been lost to the world for ever. It was a system, far more advanced than anything used today, which forms the basis of both the Imperial and Metric measure systems! These ancient scientists understood the dimensions, motions and relationships of the Earth, Moon and Sun - they measured the solar system and even understood how the speed of light was integrated into the movements of our planet. Their conclusions fly in the face of everything that we thought we knew about the origins of the modern world - but the evidence is incontrovertible. And the implications of these revelations go far beyond the fascination of the discovery of a 'super-science' of prehistory; they indicate a grand plan which will have far reaching theological ramifications!

This book is so bad it's almost good. You have to find pseudo-science entertaining, but if you do, this one delivers the goods. Starting with advice (p. 9-10) about how to think in a way that makes their book more plausible (hint: it's not to think rationally or in a linear fashion, since if you do, their whole premise will fall apart!), the authors quickly move on to the hilarious straw-man argument that archaeology is somehow focused only on "history," and not "pre-history," which is then seen as a blank page needing to be filled (p. 12).
And that's just the beginning! This book is only the opening salvo, their next book apparently suggests that people from the future built the moon, which is one of the most ridiculous ideas ever concocted.
One of the most strikingly clumsy bits comes when they wrestle with the problem of the supposedly most ancient units of measure being "earth commensurate" (p. 29). The authors see the problem, that there would have to have been an unknown, already fully established measuring system in place for the creation of new"earth commensurate" units (for which there is absolutely no evidence), and yet declare "After some thought we realized that this was not a problem at all." No? It isn't a problem to explain the unknown origins of linear measurement by doubling the size of the problem? Now we need to fill two blanks instead one!
The only way this could be funnier would be if it wasn't taken seriously by anyone, which is unfortunately not the case. Nowhere near as brilliantly bad as Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision," but still a terrific entertainment value if you can find it cheap.
