John Michell dies

Very sad news that John Michell, pioneering thinker and architect of the renaissance in the appreciation of the achievements of our remote ancestors, has died.

Author of "The View over Atlantis" in 1969 which essentially started the "New Age" of earth mysteries and his collaborations with other authors on the concept of a unified ancient metrology based on a knowledge of the Earth's dimensions, his contribution to the enlightenment of the late 20th C is unparalleled.

I was privileged to meet him a number of times at the annual Megalithomania conference in Glastonbury - 2009's event is the weekend of the 23/24 May, tickets still available - where his vast store of personal knowledge was freely and generously given.

An extremely sad loss indeed.
