Publisher's Notes
Who erected the immense megaliths -- massive prehistoric standing stones -- of Stonehenge? Who built those across Europe and North Africa? Were these strange stones used as temples or tombs, sculptures or houses? How were such colossal monoliths created without the machinery or technology of later eras? And did the ancient peoples who built them travel from one site to another? Prehistoric-art expert Jean-Pierre Mohen reveals both ancient knowledge and modern discoveries, and explains the architectural, scientific, religious, and cultural significance of these enigmatic standing stones, which still fill us with a sense of magic and mystery.
