Description
Magic Stones: The Secret World of Ancient Megaliths is a photography book by Jan Pohribný documenting ancient megalithic stone structures across Europe. Through atmospheric photographs, Pohribný explores how prehistoric communities used stone to create dwellings and tombs, record early art and mark important places and astronomical events.
The book travels from the temples of Malta and the great tombs and stone alignments of Brittany to the labyrinths of Finland, presenting these ancient structures within their surrounding landscapes. An introduction by archaeologist Julian Richards places the photographs in an archaeological context, while the images explore the enduring mystery and significance of these sites.
A good choice for readers interested in archaeology, ancient history, photography, prehistoric monuments and the beliefs and achievements of ancient European cultures.
