Temples of Stone: Exploring the Megalithic Monuments of Ireland

Every year archaeologists discover more about Ireland's enigmatic `Temples of Stone.' Instead of a single, simple explanation of what the megalithic tombs meant to those who built them, there is a multitude of answers. Carleton Jones brings together these varied interpretations to shed light on the belief systems and rituals of ancient Irish tribes, including their use of symbols, sound, color, and even hallucinatory visions. The world of the megaliths and the megalith builders is brought to life in a fully illustrated, popular format. Includes maps and visiting information.
