Stonehenge: The Secret of the Solstice

Awe-inspiring and beautiful in its simplicity, the purpose of Stonehenge remains today for all to see. No astronomical observatory, no product of sophisticated mathematics, it stands as a vibrant symbol of the religious faith of a distant age. First proposed in the author's previous book, The Stonehenge Solution, the secret of this ancient building has been endorsed by four more years of research and analysis. Exciting new information throws fresh light on the lost beliefs of our Neolithic forebears, and the many beautiful photographs and drawings, in colour and black and white, include previously undiscovered images that are published here for the first time. The result is a book that will provoke much debate. It will also inspire many people to go there and test the theory for themselves.

Papers from a session on 'Mother Earth' sites presented at the Fourteenth Annual Conference of the European Association of Archaeologists in Valetta, Malta, in September 2008. The papers discussed the various forms of evidence not only from definite 'Mother Earth' sites but from others for which an expression of a divine feminine principle, personified as belief in an Earth Mother or other female deity, may be inferred as possible or sometimes likely-especially where the work is based on new discoveries. Contents: Introduction (G. T. Meaden); 1) Mythical Representations of 'Mother Earth' in Pictorial Media (Nikos Chausidis); 2) Perceptions Of The Landscape: At the Palaeolithic Sites Potocka Zijalka and Divje Babe I, Slovenia (Bostjan Odar); 3) Sacred Sites and Symbolism in the Neolithic Landscape of Barbagia Di Seulo, Central Sardinia (M. G. Gradoli and G. T. Meaden); 4) Neolithic Art and Artefacts in Caves Near Seulo in Central Sardinia: 'Grutta 1 De Longu Fresu' (M. G. Gradoli and G. T.

A New Bible in Three Testaments: The Book of the Universe, Stars, Sun, Earth, Life and Humankind

Science & Math

New Generation Publishing

This is the Fourth Testament of A New Bible. It advocates and justifies atheism, with befitting quotations that epitomize universal truths, for it is offered in the language of inspired men and women, and completes a tetralogy of volumes having a common cause. The earlier testaments deal with the Origins of the Universe, Stars, Sun, Earth, Life and Humankind. The Third Testament is the story of human progress as known from the evidence of archaeology and the chronicles of the more ethical historians through to the present day. The four testaments speak for the freethinker and New Atheist, and for everybody who truly seeks to understand the world that we inhabit. The previous testaments have been twice published. In 2018 as A New Bible in Three Testaments, and in 2020 re-expressed as a hybrid, print-and-audio volume The Book of The Universe, Stars, Sun, Earth, Life and Humankind. "The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie-deliberate, contrived and dishonest-but the myth-persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic." John F. Kennedy. Address to Yale University. 11 June 1962. "And on the matter of faith, let's be clear. A truly liberal society guarantees the freedom of all religions, but it accepts the tyranny of none. People must be free to live without threat or fear. To say the things, write the words and live the lives they choose. Does that offend some people? Yes, of course. But the price of freedom is the risk of offence. And, for me, that price is always worth paying." Menzies Campbell. 2007 when leader of the Liberal Democrats in Britain. "The time appears to me to have come when it is the duty of all to make their dissent from religion known." John Stuart Mill. 1806-1873.
