The remarkable arrangement of mysterious stones on Salisbury Plain in southern England has been the subject of studies, poems, and legends dating back before the days before King Arthur. What was Stonehenge? A city of the dead? A Druid altar of sacrifice? A temple to the sun? In this book, the astronomer who decoded these awesome monuments tells the story surrounding the mythology of Stonehenge then recreates his dramatic findings and the controversy that ensued on both sides of the Atlantic. Black-and-white photos and illustrations.
