About Christopher Willett, Ph.D.

Christopher Willett is an engineer, patent attorney, author and independent researcher with a talent for uncovering the underlying principles behind complex technical problems and explaining them in clear, accessible terms.
After earning a Master of Engineering degree with distinction in Chemical Engineering, Christopher went on to complete a PhD in the same field. His doctoral research led him into the realm of applied geometry, where he identified a unifying deep physical principle governing the attractive forces between particles connected by liquid bridges. From this deep principle, he developed an equation that continues to be used in simulation software today.
Around twenty-five years later, Christopher found himself drawn to another challenging and seemingly unfinished field: Ancient Metrology, the study of ancient systems of measurement. As he explored the available literature, he began to recognise familiar patterns in the problems confronting the field. Once again, he saw the potential for applied geometry to reveal a deeper, unifying principle — this time through the relationship between geometry, number and astronomy. This led again to a single unifying principle – the length of the Equator as the Mensura Perpetua.
The result was Astrometrology, his first book, which presents his research into a proposed framework for understanding the mathematical and astronomical principles underlying ancient systems of measurement, and their use in ancient architecture. By bringing together geometry, numerical relationships and astronomical knowledge, Christopher seeks to shed new light on prehistoric technical knowledge and the sophistication of ancient civilisations.
Christopher hopes that Astrometrology will be the first of many books exploring megalithic science, ancient measurement systems and the technical knowledge of our prehistoric ancestors.
