Megalithomania with Hugh Newman
Prof. Temple provided evidence that magnifying lenses, telescopes, and optical surveying techniques existed from the time of Old Kingdom Egypt, with magnifying crystals known even in Predynastic times, circa 3300 BC, but unknown to modern archaeologists and historians. The science of optics and a sophisticated technology for the manufacture of lenses was widespread and fundamental in ancient times. It inspired awe in cultures who used it, so became encoded in their mythologies and religions. NOTE: Audio Only. Prof. Temple is author of a dozen challenging and provocative books including The Sirius Mystery, The Sphinx Mystery, Netherworld, The Crystal Sun, and The Genius of China. He is visiting Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and previously held a similar position at an American university. He has done archaeometric dating work and exploration of closed sites in Egypt and his research into historical accounts of the Sphinx is the first comprehensive survey ever undertaken. www.robert-temple.com [https://robert-temple.com/] This is just one of many lectures recorded at Megalithomania 2007 in Glastonbury.
