Description

Stonehenge to von Daniken : archaeoastronomy discovers our sophisticated ancestors. First popular all-over survey of the science of archaeoastronomy - the study of the astronomies of ancient and prehistoric times through archaeology. Krupp expertly separates truth from fantasy in this volume, which includes articles written by top authorities on Stonehenge, ancient North American Indian astronomers, the famous Maya observatories, Egyptian pyramids and star clocks, and the theories of Velikovsky and Von Daniken.
