4.0 out of 5 stars Adventure in bronze age England, December 17, 2008

This review is from: Stonehenge (Hardcover)

The Stonehenge has been dated by modern techniques to go back somewhat further than depicted here ( pre-bronze age). The idea that early civilization came to England as colonization as a mining community isn't new. Here it is brought to life with a struggle between Mycenae and Atlantis

over the tin mine that makes possible the harder bronze from blending copper and tin. The civilization of England that produced the large number of circle monuments seems to have had an original in an astrological

based religion of harvest and celebrations of times.

The savage raiding tribes with head taking did come later when

middle eastern refugees colonized Ireland and England.

Robert E. Howard in Bran Mak Morn: The Last King

depicts the peoples of this early age differently.

I enjoyed the novel and appreciated their effort to bring to

life a culture long gone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little information for an otherwise detail-less page . . ., March 25, 2005

This review is from: Stonehenge (Mass Market Paperback)

There are two forms of the 1972 book titled "Stonehenge." "Stonehenge: Where Atlantis Died" is the longer original UK verison of "Stonehenge." The book was cut for sale in the US and titled "Stonehenge."

"Stonehenge" tells a possible story of those mysterious stones in England known as Stonehenge. Apparently, the Mycenaean (mainland Greeks) and Atlantean (Atlantis/Minoan - Greek civilization on Crete) Empires were engaged in battle around 1500 B.C. using bronze weapons. There were two known sources of tin (needed to make bronze), in Europe up the Danube river and in Britain. The Atlanteans controlled the European tin mine, and the Mycenaeans controlled or used the British tin mine.

History: Mycenaean civilization dominated the Aegean Sea after the Minoan civilization collapsed. Warfare between the two and natural disasters on Crete lead to the destruction of the Minoan civilization. The Mycenaean civilization came to an end around 1100 B.C. and was followed by the long Greek Dark Ages.
