Stonehenge
Illustrated with stunning photographs, this book shows how the known facts from such diverse fields as archaeology, anthropology, and primitive religion contribute to a better understanding of stone age monuments. Five years of exhaustive research have unveiled a simple, beautiful, and natural explanation for the creation of Stonehenge. It was not built as an astronomical observatory, nor is it the result of complicated mathematics. Instead, it is the result of humans working in harmony with natural phenomena to create a symbol of worship that lay at the heart of religion practiced in Britain and Ireland during the neolithic and bronze ages. Stonehenge is an in-depth look at the monument that is perennially fascinating to millions of people. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

Anthropomorphic Images in Rock Art Paintings and Rock Carvings
In rock art, humanlike images appear widely throughout the ages. The artworks discussed in this book range from paintings, engravings or scratchings on cave walls and rock shelters, images pecked into rocky surfaces or upon standing stones, and major sacred sites, in which exists the possibility of recovering the meanings intended by the artists.
The Deepening Complexity of Crop Circles
Though they are not just a recent phenomenon, during the past few decades new crop circles have been reported worldwide at the rate of about one per day, creating considerable controversy over their origin and cause. Theoretical experimental physicist Eltjo Haselhoff presents a comprehensive overview of these beautiful and mysterious formations. His research includes a scientific investigation of germination anomalies, the dead fly enigma, peculiar deposits, geometrical ratios, and balls of light. In addition, he reports on the first-person accounts of people who have witnessed their appearance and even ventures into the study of the psychic perspective. Haselhoff comes to some fascinating conclusions in the last chapter, 'Circular Arguments.' After reading this book, you will definitely agree with Conclusion Six: 'Something very strange going on.'
Archaeology of Mother Earth Sites and Sanctuaries Through the Ages
This book includes papers from a session on 'Mother Earth' sites presented at the Fourteenth Annual Conference of the European Association of Archaeologists in Valetta, Malta, in September 2008. The papers discussed the various forms of evidence not only from definite 'Mother Earth' sites but from others for which an expression of a divine feminine principle, personified as belief in an Earth Mother or other female deity, may be inferred as possible or sometimes likely-especially where the work is based on new discoveries.
The Secrets of the Avebury Stones
The globalization of social, cultural and economic relations is facilitated, and at the same time conditioned by developments in the information and communications technologies (ICT) and infrastructure. Human knowledge brought mankind from an oral to a literate culture, thanks to the invention of print media. The development of the electronic media in the 20th century paved the way for the information age, in which spatial and temporal constraints are lifted. This work explores the consequences of this revolution in human communications, which are multidimensional in character, affecting economical, political and social life on national, international and local levels. The text is part of a series of volumes arising from the intellectual work of ECCR members.
The Stonehenge Solution
It's contents are as curious as its price: subtitled Language of the Megaliths' this is a book for believers in the Earth Mother, with corn dollies, megalithic art and sexual symbolism in abundance. A sensible discussion of the origins of corn circles is followed by a complacent explanation' of Neolithic and Bronze Age religion in Britain. For the fringe archaeology' bookshelves.' Aubrey Burl .
Secrets of the Avebury Stones
Less than 20 miles from its more famous neighbor, Stonehenge, Avebury is the largest and most complex prehistoric monument in Britain. This magnificent temple was built to the glory of the Neolithic Earth goddess more than 4,000 years ago. The main henged circle covers more than 28 acres and encloses two smaller rings of stone, while two stone-lined avenues wind away to further sites. Shows how every stone carries its own symbolic meaning, positioned so that at specific times of the year and the day, including sunset and sunrise, a natural phenomenon re-enacts a sacred rite and the unseen spirits of the stones come to life. Illustrated with maps, plans, and nearly 100 breathtaking photos.
How Pytheas the Greek Discovered Iron-Age Britain, Stonehenge and Thule
Pytheas of Massalia-a Greek scientific adventurer of the fourth century BC-was the first literate explorer to meet British countryfolk and write of their customs, crafts, food and farming practices. He explored parts of Britain including Kent, Stonehenge and the Cornish tin mines, then sailed to Scotland, Shetland, Iceland and the amber coasts of Denmark. His was a truly ambitious voyage, extremely risky for mariners in the boats of the time, especially in stormy conditions and near-Arctic drift ice. Consequences arising from Pytheas' inspection of Stonehenge are far-reaching because as a learned Greek he understood its purpose and, in the assessment of the present author, validly identified...
