Measurements of the Gods
Preface
In every disputation, we must look more to the weight of reason than to the weight of
authorities .
Cicero
It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education
without common sense.
This book is Volume II of a two part investigation by Harry Sivertsen who has been
ably assisted by his wife Gill, a constant and utterly reliable support since the investigation
began and who has contributed much more than she realises. Invaluable assistance in the
writing and presentation of Megalith, Masonry, Myth and Measure has been provided by Steve
Redman who added some essential historical background and technical info regarding
astronomy.
Measurements of the Gods with its 19 chapters and over 200 illustrations could have been
shortened a little as some material from Volume I, Deluge has been included for clarification
purposes but then, we could say the same for Deluge , it has some borrowings from this book. If
either work were to be shortened and were read without at least some explanatory inclusions
from its companion book much would not be understood. While Deluge primarily deals with
the myth of the flood story, Measurements of the Gods reveals the units of measure that applied
to that and other Biblical myths…their uses in more recent times and their history. However, as
with the flood studies we move far beyond Biblical regions and times to ancient India…and
even beyond India…Here we reveal the ultimate source of Greek and indeed our own
metrological knowledge…
While measurement may sound a rather mundane subject for an historical study, this is
not the case…at least not in as far as this work is concerned because here we reveal much that
has never been seen before in any work prior to this study. In a similar vein to Deluge we
reveal commonalities that most would not have thought existed. We show connections
between Biblical myth and standing stones in Britain, links that extend to Egypt and mediaeval
cathedrals…only revealed via the use of the same astronomy and / or units of measure and
frequently the same counts of those measures. The unit counts, in fact, often tell a story, a tale
