A fresh look at the World Heritage Site that includes Avebury
henge, West Kennet long barrow and Silbury Hill. Mann combines
archaeology, astronomy and anthropology to offer an original and
convincing account of the building of these extraordinary Neolithic
monuments. The ancient Britons were inspired by a profound
knowledge of the heavens when they erected the monumental stones of
Avebury. Mann throws light on the motive behind the creation of its
awe-inspiring mounds and megaliths by demonstrating that they were
aligned to the cycles of the Sun, Moon and stars. This book will
help visitors and readers to see Avebury in a wholly new light -
the light of the heavenly bodies that guided its Neolithic
builders. Avebury Cosmos will reawaken our ancient reverence for
the stars and deepen our respect for the extraordinary abilities
and forgotten knowledge of our prehistoric ancestors.
