Why was Stonehenge built, how were the Neolithic people able to carry the stones hundreds of miles, and what is the significance of their alignments? Questions like these, which cannot be answered with real certainty, add to the air of mystery that surrounds the forty places vividly explored in The Encyclopedia of Mysterious Places. Robert Ingpen's richly imaginative full~color illustrations present overall views of the site and scenes of daily life in each place, while Philip Wilkinson's carefully researched and fascinating text describes and examines the history and culture of each place, and recounts the story of its modern discovery. For anyone who has ever been captivated by the mysteries abounding in the lore and legends of the past, this is the perfect companion to bring these mysteries of the past vividly to life.
