Nicholas Cope ‘The Neolithic site of Knap of Howar, Papa Westray, Orkney’. At the Megalithic Tours Mysterious Earth Conference 2018 - Artist, author and geometer Nicholas Cope presents a summary of many years work regarding the Knap of Howar, a remarkably well preserved Neolithic stone built dwelling on the Island of Papa Westray, Orkney. He has demonstrated with precise and exhaustive analysis that geometry, in particular the sacred ratio of the Golden Mean, is a primary element within the architecture of what is considered to be one of Europe’s oldest dwellings. Nicholas takes this as the starting point for an in depth analysis of the structure’s form and symbolism in the context of what was the Scottish Neolithic culture’s worldview C. 3,500 BC. Nicholas studied at the Royal College of Art (1991) where he specialized in Visual Islamic and Traditional Arts. In 2016, he was appointed Professor Emeritus of R.I.L.K.O. (Research Into Lost Knowledge Organization). He is the co-author, with Keith Critchlow, of The Knap of Howar and the Origins of Geometry. http://www.megalithictours.com
