More about the book
Why did ancient Britons transport huge bluestones over great distances to form circles of standing stones? Did Mycenean travellers visit Neolithic Britain? For what purpose were earth mounds raised all over Britain & why did early Christians build churches upon them? What is the truth about leys, the invisible straight lines connecting ancient scared sites? The ancient sites of the British Isles—standing stones, stone circles, henges, symbols, hillforts, burial mounds—are still, despite archeological research and theory, objects of mystery. 20th-century logic cannot explain their significance. Our only illumination is the glimmer of folklore, legend & race memory. The authors explore beyond mysterious Britain to unearth some of the enigmas of fertility stones, restless stones, hauntings, secret passages, dragons, monsters, witches, giants, fairies & UFOs. Examining the evidence—a colossal accessible body of stones, mounds & symbols exist in Britain still—they arrive at their own startling theories regarding earth currents, terrestrial energy, ley lines & prehistoric technology.
