Hello, what books do you recommend for finding accurate dimensions of
sacred sites? I am thinking of temples and pyramids primarily but am
open to other possibilities. I want to find useful desk references such
as:

Fletcher, "History of Architecture"
Stierlin, "Encyclopedia of World Architecture"

The two best references I've found for dimensions of pyramids are, not
surprisingly, Peter Tompkins' "Mysteries of Egypt" and "Mexican
Mysteries"

Well, I'd not suggest relying on Tompkins for anything _other_ than
dimensions - and not rely on those either, if their "preciseness" is
necessary for some wacky theory or another.
