Riassunto

For time beyond recall Stonehenge has captured the imagination, standing remote and majestic on the horizon of England’s Salisbury Plain. Now award-winning journalist and author Alun Rees has drawn together the iconic temple’s astonishing secrets; secrets previously hidden from mainstream audiences in academic papers and scholarly publications.
He's raised the ghosts of 4500-year-old burials to vividly portray the men and women who inhabited the world of Stonehenge, introducing the farming dynasty who built the first stone circle at the henge, the paramount kings and princesses of the Bronze Age, and the shamanic goldsmiths who crafted their stunning regalia.
We learn the incredible story of two American high school students who decoded the sacred geometry of Stonehenge, and the electrifying links between the henge, ancient Sumerian astronomy, and predictive equations still used by NASA to this day.
The author also proposes credible answers to the hotly debated riddles of the world’s most enigmatic monument. Who built Stonehenge? How and why were eighty Bluestones brought 150 miles from Wales, and was Stonehenge a place of ritual healing?
Stonehenge Deciphered offers thrilling insights into the world of prehistoric Britain, and an extraordinary vision of dramatic Solstice ceremonies where the ancients used the stones themselves to mimic constellations and play other-worldly music for their gods.
