4.0 out of 5 stars A Great little book, 30 Jan 2006
Gives a great overview of the ancients use of monuments to map the skies.

It makes no ridiculous claims and dispels many myths put about by the less informed "New age" culture. Simply put, it describes the facts as they are and then gives the authors well researched opinions based on those facts. Burl, being one of the worlds leading authorities on megaliths and prehistoric culture, gives excellent naratives and informative overviews for the sites included.

By no means a comprehensive guide to all astronomically aligned sites, but a well written introduction into what is known about prehistoric "astronomy" and how the research and ideas in this field have changed over the years.

Well worth a read
