About This Item
Silbury Hill in Wiltshire, the tallest prehistoric structure in Europe, is a mystery bequeathed by an ancient civilisation 4000 years ago. Dames has studied the Hill and its meaning for many years, and proposes that the Hill and moat together ARE themselves the Great Goddess of ancient times. This careful, detailed portrait of a monument inside and out, from both close and long range, stands both as an excellent survey of its history and meaning, as well as a provocative assertion in its own right.
The book is in a very nice state. Pages are all intact, unmarked, uncreased and clean. The slightest light browning on some edges. Cloth covers are clean and tight. The dust jacket is very good, though price clipped. Minor age and shelf wear at the top, a little creasing at base of rear at the front edge, along with a very small tear. All now protected in professional clear book wrapper. 192pp with notes, bibliography, index and 109 illustrations
