Set in some of the wildest and most beautiful places in Europe, the massive megaliths of the Stone Age prompt many questions: what light do they throw on our origins? Who built them and why? What mysteries are encoded in their stones?
Peter Marshall argues that the megaliths are the beguiling remnants of a highly advanced lost civilisation of Europe, a civilisation linked by the sea which enjoyed a Golden Age of peace and creativity centred on the worship of the Great Goddess.
Sailing more than four thousand miles in a small boat from Scotland to Malta, from the cold, grey waters of the Atlantic to the warmth and light of the Mediterranean, Peter Marshall shows that the ancient mariners were capable of making such long-distance journeys.
Tracing the links between the many sacred sites visited during his exciting and adventurous voyage, he draws on geology, archaeology and astronomy and includes myths, legends and stories to evoke the life and world view of our ancient ancestors.
The megaliths uniquely combine architecture and geomancy, science and art, energy and vision. 'Europe's Lost Civilization' sheds new light on the world of the megaliths builders and the lessons ancient history has for us. It is also a fascinating physical, intellectual and spiritual quest into the heart of the ancient mystery of the standing stones.
