Description

Men have scrutinised the sky for thousands of years, trying to understand its laws.  They gradually learned to recognise the perpetual cycles of the Sun, Moon, stars and planets.  The monuments and stone alignments they built are proof of their understanding of the astronomic forces and of the way in which they wished to interact with them.  This book analyses over 50 sites, many unknown to the public, and reveals the beliefs and practices of ancient societies.  It brings us new understanding of the megalithic sites and temples devoted to the Sun, Moon and stars.  Illustrated with superb photos, it opens a window onto the inner lives of ancient civilisations.
