A unique and accessible analysis of the belief systems of the
prehistoric people of Europe Both extensively researched and
fast-paced, this groundbreaking book tackles all the big subjects
in archaeology: the spread of humans from Africa, the rise of
social groups, the adoption of agriculture, the construction of
monuments, the emergence of metal, and the fall of the Celtic
tribes. In showing that belief was central to these epic changes,
as well as influencing the most mundane, everyday task, a new
understanding of our prehistoric past emerges. Evocative vignettes
take readers back in time to experience for themselves the sights,
smells, and sounds of the past. It is only with the advent of
modern science that we can begin to unravel the lives of those who
lived thousands of years ago, people who were adept at entering
trance and found the "other world" there to be as real as their
own. This is a new way to approach prehistory, putting people and
the beliefs that they held center stage. For without understanding
people's beliefs, we will never comprehend their world.
