The primary hypothesis of Stars Stones and Scholars is that the megaliths represent ancient surveys of the earth by astronomy, and that these feats of ancient surveying and of ancient surveyors can be reconstructed.

Stars Stones and Scholars shows us in hundreds of maps, illustrations and photos how megaliths and megalithic sites are Neolithic works of ancient art, containing carvings which greatly expand our understanding of prehistoric art and of the origins of human civilization.

There is an affiliated list related to the megalithic subjects of this book and related topics at History of Civilization.
