This is the extraordinary story of how a quest to try to crack the mystery of the "Megalithic Yard" - an ancient unit of linear measurement - led to the discovery of compelling evidence pointing to the existence of an unknown, highly advanced culture which was the precusor to the earliest known civilizations such as the Sumerians and the Egyptians. There must have been a Civilization One.
