In a thought-provoking analysis of prehistoric art, astronomy,
archaeology and the history of civilization, Stars, Stones and
Scholars presents the decipherment of the megaliths (standing
stones) by Andis Kaulins, Lecturer at the University of Trier in
Germany. Stars, Stones and Scholars shows that ancient megalithic
sites are remnants of ancient local, regional and worldwide
Neolithic surveys of the Earth by astronomy. Circa 40 photographs,
240 drawings and 80 maps show how megaliths were carved and
"sculpted" with figures and cupmarks (holes in the stones) to
represent stars and constellations, long before the modern
astrological Zodiac was known. Megalithic sites from England
(Stonehenge), Wales (Paviland), Scotland (Clava Cairns), Ireland
(Newgrange, Knowth), Germany (Externsteine), Benelux (Weris),
France (Carnac), Italy (La Spezia), Malta (Tarxien), Greece, Turkey
(Anatolia), Scandinavia (Tanum), the Baltic, Russia, the Near East,
the Far East (China and Japan), Africa, Central and South America
(Tikal, Maya, Aztecs), Oceania (Hawaii), The USA (Cahokia, Miami
Circle, Clovis) and Canada (Peterborough Petroglyphs) are included
in this fascinating book- which, as it is corroborated over time by
the research of others- will become a landmark of human literature.
