Who built the Moon?

Reprinted from New Dawn magazine

Many New Dawn readers will know of British writer Christopher Knight from his first book The Hiram Key, which he co-authored with Robert Lomas and published in 1996. Quickly becoming a best seller, The Hiram Key was acclaimed a classic in the field of alternative history, going on to influence a generation of researchers among them The Da Vinci Code’s Dan Brown.

In the last ten years Knight has written six books, four with Robert Lomas and two, including his latest Who Built the Moon?, with Alan Butler.

In Who Built the Moon?, Knight and Butler raise some fascinating and challenging questions, foremost: Could it be that the Moon is artificial? Could it even be hollow? And does the Moon really exist through some happy accident, or is a blueprint apparent — and if so, who was the architect?

New Dawn recently spoke with Christopher Knight about his controversial new book and his astonishing conclusions.

New Dawn: All of mankind’s visits to the Moon have not answered some of the most basic questions about its origin and importance. Your new book Who Built the Moon? (co-authored with Alan Butler) brings to light some extraordinary facts about the Moon, and comes to a mind-blowing conclusion about its origin. Could you briefly outline some of these little known and ignored facts?

Christopher Knight: The Moon sits very close to the Earth yet it is widely regarded as the strangest object in the known universe. It is a bit like knowing that every person in the world is completely normal except the person you live next door to, who has three heads and lives on a diet of broken razor blades.

The book lists the strangeness of the Moon, which includes the fact that it does not have a solid core like every other planetary object. It is either hollow or has a very low-density interior. Bizarrely, its concentration of mass are located at a series of points just under its surface — which caused havoc with early lunar spacecraft. The material the Moon is made from came from the outer surface of the Earth and left a shallow hole that filled with water and we now call the Pacific. This rock left the Earth to produce the Moon very quickly after our planet had formed around 4.6 billion years ago.

The Moon is not only extremely odd in its construction; it also behaves in a way that is nothing less than miraculous. It is exactly four hundred times smaller than the Sun but four hundred times closer to the Earth so that both the Sun and the Moon appear to be precisely the same size in the sky — which gives us the phenomenon we call a total eclipse. Whilst we take this for granted it has been called the biggest coincidence in the universe.

Furthermore, the Moon mirrors the movement of the Sun in the sky by rising and setting at the same point on the horizon as the Sun does at opposite solstices. For example, this means the Moon rises at midwinter at the same place the Sun does at midsummer. There is no logical reason why the Moon mimics the Sun in this way and it is only meaningful to a human standing on the Earth.

ND: What led you to write Who Built the Moon? And does this latest book relate to your earlier research when writing Civilization One and Uriel’s Machine?

CK: All of the six books I have had published over the last ten years are part of a continued single piece of research. I came to write Who Built the Moon? with Alan Butler after we had finished Civilization One, because our research led us to study the Moon very closely.

We had found that the superbly advanced measuring system in use over 5,000 years ago was based on the mass, dimensions and movements of the Earth.

However, for thoroughness we checked every planet and moon in the solar system to see if there was any pattern. Amazingly, it worked perfectly for every aspect of the Moon but did not apply at all to any other known body — except the Sun.

It was as though we had found a blueprint where the Moon had been ‘manufactured’ using very specific units taken from Earth’s relationship with the Sun. The more we looked, everything fitted — and fitted perfectly in every conceivable way.

ND: Most astoundingly, you found that an ancient system of geometry and measurement used in the Stone Age works perfectly on the Moon. What exactly is this system and how could the ancients have attained this knowledge?

CK: It is not possible to describe the greatness of this ancient system of geometry and measurement without repeating the content of Civilization One.

The work of Alexander Thom, a brilliant professor of engineering from Oxford University, was our starting point. He identified the existence of what he called the Megalithic Yard. This was a precise unit of measurement that was the basis of late Stone Age structures across Western Europe — such as Stonehenge. Most archaeologists have written his work off as a mistake but when one looks coldly at their objections they are baseless.

Alan and I were able to show how they made these highly precise linear units based on the rotation of the Earth and how they were also the basis of all time, capacity and weight units in use today. Once again these are exact — not approximations or close fits.

Where the ancients got such knowledge is quite baffling. All we can be certain of is that they were way ahead of us today! It’s easy to check out by anyone with a calculator.

ND: Your conclusion is there are more than enough anomalies about the Moon to suggest it is not a naturally occurring body and was quite possibly engineered to sustain life on Earth. How did you reach this conclusion?

CK: Not only is the Moon an apparently impossible object, it has some unique benefits for us humans. It has been nothing less than an incubator for life. If the Moon was not exactly the size, mass and distance that it has been at each stage of the Earth’s evolution — there would be no intelligent life here. Scientists are agreed that we owe everything to the Moon.

It acts as a stabiliser that holds our planet at just the right angle to produce the seasons and keep water liquid across most of the planet. Without our Moon the Earth would be as dead and solid as Venus.

ND: If the Moon is an artificial construct, what are your theories on who or what built it, and why?

CK: In Who Built the Moon? we explain that we could not come to any other conclusion than the Moon is artificial. Because it is certain that it is 4.6 billion years old that raises some interesting points. Another factor was the obvious message that has been built into the Moon to tell us it’s artificial. The language of the message is base ten arithmetic so it looks as though it is directed to a ten digit species that is living on Earth right now — which seems to mean humans.

The question of why the Moon had to be built is easy to answer: To produce all life, especially humans. As to who did it — well that’s a lot tougher! We give the three possibilities we can think of, namely: God, aliens or humans. The only one of these that is 100% scientifically possible is the last one. Time travel is universally accepted as being physically possible and a number of scientists are close to sending matter back in time. We can envisage that machines could be built in the future that could be sent back to remove matter from the young Earth to construct the Moon — probably using mini black hole technology.

  1. I was all set to disbelieve this, but this is the best "cretionist" type theory I have ever read. Of course, I'm easy.

    He kind of lost me though, when he mentioned time travel. If the moon is responsible for intelligent life, then how could there have been an intelligent race of humans to begin with, to go back in time to construct the moon?

  2. I'm with ya. My brain brakes skidded too when he said everyone knows time travel is possible. It didn't enhance his theory.

  3. It all smacks of paradox. This theory seems to be fatally flawed unless you include an external factor (Extraterrestrial being or accident, or "the force" as Luke Skywalker called it...) he he he!

  4. The moon was towed into place to be the counterforce of earth's multiple froces. The magnetism of the moon acting in concordance with the earths gravity and centripetal froces and add a shot of the sun's rays, and bam, you get atoms and molecules forming physical matter, small universes, and the geophysical landscape of man was born!

  5. Rock samples indicate that the moon's makeup is like that of the Pacific Ocean basin. Current theory is that it was formed from mass ejecta when a large asteroid struck the still semi molten Earth. Mass seems about right also.

  6. Venus, Mars are far from dead planets with no life. That's what the ones controlling the truth and hiding it since before Hitler and the Nazi want humanity to believe.

    Take a look at the censored low-quality images of Saturn "satellites" that NASA has made public, they look way more artificial than the Moon. We can only wonder if the same alien race built them or there are more races in Solar System, as it seems highly likely that there are.

    The Great Basin (Tethys... yet another look at the anomalous artificial structures on its surface. Impact basin they say.. all natural, yeah, sure.. look at it.. can't you see that it's artificial? Just natural rocks you see there? There is a clearly giant sized thing around the center, just a natural rock due to an impact, uh?)

    Cassini Flies by 'Death Star' Moon (Yep! At NASA/JPL sometimes they enjoy trying to make a fool of people with this kinda joke in a hope that no one could notice the fact that there is nothing natural about all of this. Or do you believe that's it's just a coincidence? The best way to hide something is to put it in front of someone and make a joke of it in case it could resemble something others know, so no one would question nor notice anything strange nor anomalous about it.. This is what happens here)

    Wavemaker Moon (And.. now.. this is a natural moon, right ? Not a giant spaceship moving there between the rings and disturbing them with its energy propulsion field... right? That would be just fantasy, right? So we are looking at a natural thing, uh? Do you really believe it? Does it look any natural to you?)

    Keep looking at Saturn's anomalous moons and system overall, although every image is pretty digitally censored before being released to the public by NASA/JPL and the resolution lowered to cell-phone like quality, many artificial anomalous features can still be seen, unless you want to be a gullable guy and accept the official statements and claims that there is nothing artificial to look at, there are no aliens, it's all fictional and we are the only ones in the Solar System...
