Julian Cope's long-awaited follow up to The Modern Antiquarian, his bestselling and critically acclaimed guide to ancient Britain. The Megalithic European takes us on a breathtaking journey around prehistoric Europe's first temples.
The Megalithic European is a monumental colour guide to the standing stones and ancient temples of prehistoric Europe. It was the result of a 6-year personal odyssey undertaken by Julian Cope to cover 300 of the most important sites of Northern Europe and the Mediterranean. The first section is a series of essays, looking at the universal desire of all settlers: to celebrate and mythologize the landscape in which they have chosen to live, highlighting comparisons with British settlements, and the second section forms a gazetteer of the many ancient sites in Europe that Julian Cope has visited, from Ireland to the Netherlands, from Crete to Denmark, discussing many areas outside the European arena, from Mount Ararat in Armenia to Mount Fuji in Japan, via the celebrated Mount Olympus of the Greek Myths to the legendary Tree of Yggdrasil of the Norse Myths. Profusely illustrated.
Condition
The book itself is in very good condition. The slipcase has some peeling to the spine ends and a little sunning to the top half of the word "Megalithic" to the front but retains its integrity.
