Stonehenge:
Solving the Neolithic Universe: Book review
“The author has
obviously done a lot of research, but more importantly has put in a
lot of leg-work visiting the sites mentioned in the book and has
actually tried the experiments using only the materials available to
megalithic peoples. When someone has done (or tried to do) something,
you get an added depth to the experience and this certainly comes
across in Jon’s writing. Page 11 has a marvellous example, when
attempting to view the exact point on the horizon where the sun
rises/sets. Even on a clear day this is often impossible due to the
haze, something I also know through bitter experience.”
“The one thing that makes this book a winner is the fact that it’s central theory is not a house of cards. The various parts are not all required to prove that Stonehenge was a geocentric “planetarium” (or whatever the solar equivalent is) and equally you can accept all the parts but reject the final conclusion.”
“Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in Stonehenge.”
