4.0 out of 5 stars
Meticulous research.,
By "gavera" (DENTON, TEXAS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Echoes of the Ancient Skies: The Astronomy of Lost Civilizations
The author visited and studied megalithic sites all over Europe, the Near East and North and South Americas. By careful measurement and observation he illustrates astronomical alignments built in to these sites. Black and white photos and drawings abound. This is a clear, thorough and extensive survey of archaeo-astronomy. He misses some alignments that later work has uncovered, such as the Venus alignment at Newgrange (Uriel's Machine by Knight and Lomas), but this book does justice to an interesting field. A must read for people interested in the civilizations of pre-history.
