Reviews

[Erik Graff]

Beyond Stonehenge represents a popularized description of Dr. Gerald S. Hawkins' discovery of the astronomical purposes of the Stonehenge formations in England. Hawkins, just deceased, was most recently in the news for his mathematical analyses of certain crop circles. Although often marketed under the "occult" rubric, this is actually a serious book representing important research.

Meh... book contains a LOT of numbers, measurements and stats. Barely any narrative. Hard to read and harder to get into. Author's theories about Stonehenge are a bit far-fetched IMO. A great portion of the book is not even about Stonehenge. I feel like only the beginning & ending pertain to the title of the book. The rest is written on other ancient sites around the world. I did enjoy the photos and diagrams however. Just wish they were in color.

Varane päikese jälgimise ja kultuse keskuste uurimise käsitlus. Sobib pigem neile, kellel varasemaid teadmisi ja uurimishuvi antud teemal.

Great for my research
