The Stonehenge Companion

Companion

by James McClintock, Think Books (Editor)

Stonehenge, that most mega of megaliths, has inspired literature, art, and naked dancing in abundance since its creation nearly five millennia ago. Gathering information gleaned from years of investigation, this volume peeks into the inner circle of the sacred structure, revealing a wealth of theories about its existence; the centuries of planning that went into building it; and an explanation of why it is a temple to the sun. Find out who continues to worship at this mystical monument—and which rock bands have embarrassed themselves with onstage replicas. Of course, there’s an answer to the most important question of all: How do I get there?
