Stonehenge: The Story of a Sacred Landscape

This is richly illustrated and explores the history and cultural significance of Stonehenge, one of the world's most mysterious prehistoric monuments. Perched on Salisbury Plain, its purpose remains debated—whether as a place of worship, a sacrificial site, or a massive calendar. Built in phases over 1,500 years, its bluestones were transported from West Wales by unknown means, while its massive sarsen stones came from nearby Marlborough Downs. This examines its construction and purpose but also delves into how scholars, writers, artists, and modern spiritualists have interpreted its mystery. By placing Stonehenge in a broader historical and cultural context, the narrative sheds light on both its ancient past and its enduring fascination.
