About this title

Synopsis

A coffee-table book of 26 chapters in color, each a complete study of a different Megalithic site. The chapters are sequenced by date, from 4800 BC (Cairn of Barnenez in Brittany) to 500 BC (the Monument of Ales Stenar, in Sweden). The book gives the first explanations for stone circles and the enormous Rows at Carnac, in Brittany. The huge petroglyphs of Buriz and Serrazes in Iberia are presented for the first time. The origin of Bronze Age copper in Michigan is explained, and the manufacturing of Oxhide Ingots is suggested to have been on the Gulf Coast of Alabama.
