Stonehenge Decoded
Gerald S. Hawkins
This a pivotal work on Stonehenge marking a watershed, holding currency as much today (2024) as it did some 60 years past.
"At the time when Stonehenge Decoded was published, there was little evidence that any prehistoric European culture had ever been interested in the sky, no reference point for the historical imagination to grasp and compare with what may have been happening at Stonehenge. Did a fully fledged system of observation and theory just spring up out of nowhere at Stonehenge, or did it develop slowly elsewhere? Few people could have guessed that an extraordinary new body of evidence could help to answer many of these questions.” Archaeologist Evan Hadingham, Circles and Standing Stones, Walker, New York.
