Harleston's claims
·That the layout of Teotihuacan encodes information about the shape, size and movement of the Earth.
·That he had identified the "Standard Teotihuacan Unit" of measurement: 1.0594 metres.
·That the megalithic monuments of Tiahuanaco, Stonehenge, and Ancient Egypt also feature this "S.T.U." measure, and therefore share a common source.
Harleston says of Teotihuacan's builders:
"When they draw a line, they're telling you an area. When they draw an area, they're telling you a volume. When they put volume, they're telling you time."
His ideas have been taken up by the New Age theorists Graham Hancock (on whose TV series "Quest for the Lost Civilisation" Harleston outlined the above claims).
