The authors of Civilization One return, bringing new evidence about the Moon that will shake up our world. Christopher Knight and Alan Butler realized that the ancient system of geometry they presented in their earlier, breakthrough study works as perfectly for the Moon as it does the Earth. They found a consistent sequence of integer numbers that they can apply to every major aspect of the Moon; no such pattern emerges for any other planet or moon in the solar system. In addition, Knight and Butler discovered that the Moon possesses few or no heavy metals and has no core—something that should not be possible. Their persuasive conclusion: if higher life only developed on Earth because the Moon is exactly what it is and where it is, it becomes unreasonable to cling to the idea that the Moon is a natural object—an idea with profound implications.

About the Author

Christopher Knight has written five very successful books. His first book, The Hiram Key, co-authored with Robert Lomas, was published in 1996 and it immediately went into the UK top ten, bestseller list and remained there for 8 consecutive weeks. It has since been translated into 37 languages and sold over a million copies worldwide, becoming a bestseller in several countries. Alan Butler, a qualified engineer, but always fascinated by history made himself into something of an expert in astrology and astronomy. He has published four successful books on the Knights Templar and the Grail legend. He is also a published playwright and a very successful radio dramatist. They are co-authors of the best selling Civilization One.

That's not a moon...

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

After reading this book I am utterly 100% convinced that our Moon is an artificial construct. The evidence is right there, has been right in front of our faces all along, and has been waiting for us to make the seemingly obvious connections pointing to the irrefutable proof that the Moon was engineered by intelligent design and not simply by random chance or accident. There are far too many "coincidences" that cannot be dismissed by current academic and scientific theories for the creation of our moon such as:

- The size of the moon from the Earth is the same relative size as the sun for a total solar eclipse to occur.

- The moon's diameter is exactly 400 times smaller than the sun. The moon is also 1/400th the distance between the Earth and the sun.

- The sidereal period of the moon is 27.321 days. The circumference of the moon is 27.322% the circumference of the Earth.

- The Sun is exactly 109.288 times the size of the Earth (4 x 27.322). The circumference of the Moon is 10928.8 kms (400 x 27.322)

- The Earth is 3.66 times larger than the moon. The Earth takes 366 days to complete one solar orbit.

- The rotation of the moon turns at precisely the velocity that it does relative to the Earth so that one side is always facing us.

- The moon is likely hollow or without a core and that when the Apollo landers crashed into it that it unexpectedly rang like a bell for several hours.

- The lunar surface contains the same isotopic signatures as the composition of rocks from the Earth but contains no heavy metals such as iron.

- The mass of the moon would neatly fit into the recesses between the Earth's continents suggesting that it was "carved" out of the Earth itself and that the generally accepted "Big Whack" theory that the moon was the byproduct of a violent collision with another planetoid the size of Mars is wrong and cannot be reconciled by a game of planetary billiards.

The odds of all of these observable facts and computations about our moon being the result of some naturally occurring phenomena are astronomically improbable as to be impossible. With regards to the Anthropic Principal it can be inferred by Albert Einstein who eloquently said that "God does not play dice with the universe" leading to the inescapable conclusion that the moon was strategically "placed" into orbit around our planet at the exact distance and inclination to the ecliptic plane that it is at in order to stabilize the tides and the seasons so that life as we know it could exist and evolve. Creationists will argue that it is further proof that it could only have been the product of divine creation as if placed precisely where it is by the hand of God, but to that I contend, "Built by God or built by an advanced extraterrestrial intelligence?"

Or was it time travelers from the distant future that terraformed our own existence 4.6 billion years ago, as the authors postulate?

You decide.

The Best Book I’ve Read on “Extraterrestrial Intrusion”

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

The best book I’ve ever read on the subject of extra-terrestrial “tinkering” in earthly affairs! What I most appreciate is the long succession of mathematical facts about the moon and its relationship to our Earth and the sun. In their entirety, these minutely balanced ratios simply cannot be the result of chance—the possibility of such a series of accidents would be truly astronomical. There’s no, “Could it be that...” or, “We have to wonder if...” in the tendentious style of ANCIENT ALIENS. The occasional ironic indulgence of a religious perspective struck me as a bit condescending, for there ARE believers who do not consider Genesis a science textbook and feel comfortable yielding unto Caesar what is Caesar’s; but I can also understand the temptation to be a tad snarky in that direction, since the other kind of believer can be pretty overpowering. The main carry-away here is just that our remarkable satellite’s dimensions, her location, her rhythms and motions (the authors steer clear of mentioning the controversial “hollow gong” supposedly registered when NASA deliberately crashed an orbiter into the lunar surface)... all of this ineluctably points to a phenomenon that cannot be perfectly natural and accidental. Most other “ET” books do a disservice to this thesis by advancing evidence that invites ridicule. This one faces us with facts that can’t be explained away.

Beyond a Coincidence...

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

Not just a theory, as the author’s demonstrate the mathematics of the Moon, Earth and the Sun to prove that the moon’s position and movements are beyond coincidence...it is amazing to me that the moon’s peculiarities never received more attention from science. But since science refuses to explore anything outside of what must be a random, natural, “accidental” event, the miraculous characteristics of the moon were glossed over. Ever wonder how the moon just happens to be the right size and the right distance from the Earth and the sun so that we have a solar Eclipse? Because the moon just happens to be 1/400 the size of the sun and 400 times closer to the earth than the sun, that’s why! What are the odds of that happening by chance?

Way more than dry science

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

I am reading this book through once and will read it again. Facts and science are described in a way that average person can understand, and it's INTERESTING. Some of the ancient history regarding the "math" is fascinating...Im able to see the math of the cosmos totally differently, and in an organic way. Having laid out the math and science about the moon, which i was able to grasp, the writers then go into what it all means, and they do this without falling into wild fantasy or imaginings. There is speculation, but reasoned and developed, and in such a way that one is not required to buy into any particular belief system to read and follow. I've read many books about the moon and cosmos and many I just put aside when they sink into indescribable wonky science and stuff I have to keep looking up, , or when a speculation is put forth without real thought. Im very impressed.

Compared to other books of the same kind, this one is interesting and easy to read, although facts are scientifically presented. I have found a series of new items, and the old ones are completed with new information. I think people should be open-minded and read it carefully.

Fascinating

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

An utterly fascinating read and very thought provoking, a 'must read' for anyone who is curious about the origins of human civilisation. The book can be somewhat repetitive at times but the interesting subject matter more than compensated for that. The only criticism that I have of the work is that it totally fails to mention the 'face' of the moon which, given the nature of the research, is a somewhat glaring omission!

Good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 8, 2022

This was bought as a gift but I do have a copy of my own thats a good few years old. The book brings up a lot of interesting facts and questions. Can't say I agree with all the conclusions but opens the mind and gives you something to debate with friends. Add it to your collection sits well next to my original chariots of the gods book.

interesting read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is an interesting book. There are certainly a large number of questions raised and I wonder with future missions to the moon planned if we'll get to the bottom of it.

The book starts well but there are a couple of errors in the data which of course can bring into question other datasets.

For me where things go awry is the second half of the book. This is where a lot of speculation and unsubstantiated claims creep in. To the authors their conclusions are obvious but I felt that by the end it was all conjecture and supposition.

However I do think there is something in this and it is certainly a good read.

I watched a YouTube vid of this subject and then had to purchase the book to get even more detail. It's difficult to ignore certain factual detail.
