Counting the time between sky events naturally generates the numbers considered sacred within ancient texts and monuments. In prehistory an ancient astronomy of time revealed numerical structures, these now re-explored in my books and articles. As J.G. Bennett put it, “The task of natural science is to deal with fact, and it is entitled to set aside questions of value; but this does not justify the denial that such questions are significant.” One such question is “who or what created time to become the sacred numbers of the ancient world?”

- Design of the Taj Mahal: its FaçadeThe Taj Mahal is one of the most recognizable buildings on earth. It was built by a Moghul king as a memorial for his dead queen and for love itself. The Mughals became famous for their architecture and the Persian notion of the sacred garden though their roots were in Central Asia just north of Persia.

- Goddess of Time in the SkyExplores the relationship between ancient astronomical practices and megalithic cultures, highlighting how early societies understood time through celestial cycles. It contrasts matrilineal hunter-gatherer societies with later patriarchal agricultural ones, suggesting that megalithic structures reflect deep, sacred knowledge of the cosmos and have influenced subsequent architectural designs across civilizations.

- Metrology of a Bronze Age DodecahedronThe Norton Disney Archaeology Group found an example of a “Gallo Roman Dodecahedron”. One of archaeology’s great enigmas, there are now about 33This is the number of years for an exact number of 12053 days. This period can be measured using the equinoctal sun and it has come to be known as the lifetime of semi-divine Solar Heroes such as Jesus and Mithras. This period relates geometrically to the 18.618 years of the moon's nodal period. known examples in what was Roman occupied Britain.

It discusses saints’ locations, Columbus’s explorations, Templar disappearances, and maritime traditions. The narrative links these geographic lines to cultural, spiritual, and historical events, suggesting deeper connections in European and New World history.
