ANCIENT METROLOGY is the result of ten years of research into Ancient Weights & Measures. This superb new volume traces the development of the Ancient World's greatest achievement...the creation of a system of measure based on the exact circumference or our planet, a feat modern man did not achieve until recent times. Share in the excitement as the Author systematically unravels the Metrology of the Ancient World's great civilizations, Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Israel, & Rome. Statements made by Ancient Writers made it clear there was an exact ratio between the weights & measures of different civilizations. This would suggest a common origin. Layer upon layer of evidence reveals that, in fact, all Ancient Measures did evolve from a single standard...The Author attempts to pinpoint where this standard & civilization itself began! This book is an Archaeological breakthrough that will change forever the way we view our past.Lenzen, Donald L. is the author of 'Ancient Metrology' with ISBN 9780962530906 and ISBN 0962530905.
