THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Lord Raglan presents a provocative anthropological study arguing that the human dwelling did not begin as a simple shelter, but as a sacred temple. He suggests that ancient houses were designed as ritual spaces to host the "sacred marriage" between heaven and earth�??a rite intended to ensure the fertility and prosperity of the community. By tracing the evolution of architecture from temples to palaces and finally to common homes, Raglan challenges practical "common-sense" history with a theory of deep symbolic and ritualistic origins.
