Description
Stone circles evoke a vanished world of druid astronomers. For archaeologists and amateur enthusiasts, the purpose of these structures has long been a subject of debate. The most famous of the circles is Stonehenge in England, but megalith expert Hugh Newman shows that these amazing architectural monuments can be found all over the world – in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. In this unique guide to stone circles, the author explores how they were created, what they meant to the people of their time, and how their construction is aligned with the landscape, the Sun, the Moon, and the stars. It is an indispensable book about breathtaking ancient architecture.
