Science began in Western Europe over 5000 years ago.
Uriel's Machine reveals that important megalithic sites of the British Isles, nearly 1000 older than the Great Pyramid of Egypt, were painstakingly engineered to measure the long term movements of the planet Venus and provide the people who built them with a time-keeping system accurate to a few seconds over a forty year period.
Uriel's Machine shows how a prehistoric unit of measurement, accurate to a fraction of a millimeter, is derived from observational astronomy and explains how it can be duplicated by anybody who wishes to repeat their experiments.
