The ancient Chinese understood these energy flow lines and represented them in the J Ching with its 64 hexagrams, also cor- responding to the 64 codons of the DNA. Poynder speculates that such knowledge may have allowed our ancestors to create "a light magnetic vehicle to accelerate through the time barrier...to come and go through the magnetic space-time continuum". This is a profound book, richly illustrated with photos and diagrams that give us a glimpse into the occult aspects of Neolithic design and a lost ancient science.
