Europe's Lost Civilization

On June 10, 2008, in News, by Michael

While at the Megalithomania conference last month our ‘Standing with Stones’ stand was right next to Peter Marshall’s bookstand. It was great to discover that Peter had made an epic journey visiting megaliths all over the Atlantic seaboard and the Mediterranean in his boat ‘Celtic Gold’. The result of his travels is a wonderful book called Europe’s Lost Civilization – a sort of ‘Standing with Stones’ adventure, but in a sailing boat rather than a camper van. Far more romantic.

Megalithomania '08

On May 24, 2008, in Events, by Michael

Just wanted to say what a great time Sharon & I had over last weekend. Hats off to Hugh and John for organising and holding the weekend together.

Speakers were, on Saturday: myself; Peter Marshall; Jay Wakefield & Reinoud de Jonge; Chris Morton & Ceri Louise Thomas; Tony Perrot; Tom Graves; David H. Childress, and on Sunday: Kate Masters; Philip Coppens; Nicholas Mann & Philippa Martin; Sam Samir Osmanagich; David Furlong; Hamish Miller.

What was fascinating in the end was that a conference, ostensibly with the purpose of discussing what I referred to as “lumps of rocks in fields”, becomes a philisophical debate about the nature of being human and how we exercise our responsibility in the world.

Amazing.

Details of the event – and, I’m sure in the fullness of time some photos – can be found here.

The Journey of a lifetime


If you've ever dreamed of travelling through Great Britain & Ireland, visiting the fantastic monuments that our ancient ancestors left us, then you will love this film.

Over two years in the making ...

... Standing with Stones was made by just two men with fantastic film making skills, a camper van and a passion for the monuments in stone left to us by Neolithic and Bronze Age ancestors.

The result is a remarkable feature length documentary film and a gorgeous coffee-table book that take the viewer on a journey of discovery, uncovering the true extent and variety of megalithic Britain and Ireland.
