Thoth, Architect of the Universe: Stonehenge and Giza are maps (Megalithic maps series) Paperback – November 1, 1997

Ralph Ellis lays out a brilliant theory linking some of the greatest structures of antiquity.Having now read five of his books, I have admittedly become addicted to following the breadcrumbs Mr. Ellis provides as he directs the reader toward a completely new appreciation of our common history.Mr. Ellis' books are packed full of factual detail, so a little concentration is involved -- but the reward makes the effort worthwhile.Whether you ulitmately agree with Mr. Ellis, you cannot help but learn a tremendous amount of information in the process.I highly recommend ALL of Mr. Ellis' books.

Seemingly incredible but carefully researched from a scientific/engineering perspective with amazing photographs and charts and diagrams it carefully builds a fine, strong case for what is a clean headed and clear view of a reality that has been muddled by an absence of the written word for many millennia. This treatise is both beautiful and highly intelligent and builds the strong case that early man was exceedingly intelligent at earlier dates than what we had ever surmised.A stunning and very delightful must read, sleuthing at the highest level.

A thought provoking book where Ralph's rational reasoning reveals many interesting things.To this day, nobody knows exactly when the megaliths were built, how they were built, why they were built, and who built them.

By Fractal, I mean that Thoth the architect could be Thoth a person, or a highly advanced civilization represented by the name Thoth.The author ties the measurements and mathematics of the pyramids, Stonehenge and Avebury with the myth of Thoth, who educated mankind in math and the mysteries of the heavens, leaving repositories of knowledge throughout the Earth. Those repositories may not be "inside" these megalithic structures, but instead the fundamental mathematics encoded in the architecture of these structures themselves. The author, a computer professional, solved these mysteries as a mathematical puzzle.The similarities are absolutely astounding. All have been linked to the dimensions of the earth, but the author take this even further. Stonehenge Trilithons were based on Pi, as were the gates to the temple of Horus, the temple of karnac, and the pillars of Solomon, even though they were continents away. Pi, a letter in the Greek alphabet, also means gateway. Coincidence?All three site measurements also connect to the Earth's precession, which imply that all were using a circle based on 360 degrees. Coincidence?Even the different measuring systems (the Zil yard and Thoth cubit) used in their construction resulted in whole numbers. Coincidence?The author concludes that Avebury is a representation of the planet Earth, with the small circles being Sonehenge as it appears in the northern hemisphere; Stonehenge was a precessional clock; and the pyramids connect the heavens with Earth and the continents, which is one of Spiritual truths found in the Hermetic: as is above, so below. The writing of the Hermetic was also credited to Thoth. Coincidence?It all points to one set of "blueprints" by an ancient, highly technologically advanced civilization....Atlantis?There are just too many coincidences for this to be overlooked. The book has a lot of math, but it is hard to make these points without it.If you still think the Egyptologists are correct, and primitive civilizations that didn't have the wheel built megaliths like the pyramids, or Stonehenge, so they could dance around a cool looking burial ground, you're not going to like this book.

I have read many authors on the subjects of Egyptology, Creation vs. Evolution, and of course the mighty Bible. Ralph Ellis's books are the one's worth the taking time to read. I do not say this lightly. Ellis has done the research and even though his writing style sometimes bogs down, he is the authority of our times. I have read others as I say. Osman's books were a good beginner into these subjects, but they are not the place to stop at and consider that the subject has been fulfilled in explanation. Budge is a favorite, but of course his information is out of date. Nedless to say, if you want current information, and the stuff that sticks to the ribs, then Ralph Ellis is your author. Start with "Jesus: Last of the Pharoahs" or "Thoth: Architect of the Universe", and don't just stop there!!! Read his whole series. You'll be glad that you did. Still even so, there are critics of Ellis, as usually comes from the more ignorant crowd or the religious bigot. Take a deep breath and let the pests fly off and just read these books for what they are worth and with an open mind, without the critical nature that has been pablum fed into us since childhood. Indeed, for those who keep their priorities straight, and an open mind, these books are worth their weight in gold.Yori

Not really about Thoth; it's more about the colossal ancient structures (Great Pyramid, Stonehenge, etc) that he may have designed. Lots of math formulas which I skipped over. The author came to a conclusion which I don't agee with; his views are way out there.

Of all the books I have read on this topic never have I read one with this brilliant perspective. How Mr Ellis uses mathematics and the different measuring systems to prove the superior intellect of the builders of these ancient monuments and the deep connections to each other of the monuments is truly unique. I have learned much from this and all of his books and have been given much to contemplate. I always knew there was a reason for the US being the only country to not convert to the metric system. I encourage the reading of this book, you will not be disappointed.

An astounding look into an ancient civilization - very readable and may possibly change the average persons view of our ancient history!

Ralph Ellis is amazing researcher with a breadth of knowledge that allows him to dig into details about historical and modern subjects like no other.Of course the ancient historical subjects can be speculative and esoteric, but so well put together that it’s incredibly compelling, and in most cases more believable than the so called accepted science or history.A must read for anyone interested in alternative history and esoteric knowledge.

GREAT

This book is indeed fascinating. Ralf Ellis has opened new arguments as to the splendor of these ancient monuments, with sophisticated messages for our time. I have not finished the book as it was a Christmas gift, but I am already thinking of purchasing other Ralf Ellis publications.

Ralf Ellis has discovered the Zil! He dares to compare his unit with the megalithic yard found by Professor Thom. The book is long, muddled, pretends to be penetrating but is quite boring and finally extremely uninteresting. I should have been more cautious before buying it. Ralf Ellis writes about so many subjects...If you want to read an excellent book, sharp and well written on Stonehenge, which leads via a mathematical demonstration to a terrific conclusion, read Ancient knowledge by George Curtis.

Having read most of the books written by Ralph Ellis, I am impressed by the thorough research he undertakes. Excellent!
