John Michell reveals a structure of geometry and number that represents the essential order of the heavens and functions as a map of paradise. He demonstrates that the same numerical code underlying sacred structures from ancient times to the Christian era is the science and cosmology on which the ancient world order was founded. An in-depth look at the role of number as a bridge between Heaven and Earth.
