An exploration of Neolithic Orkney that redefines our understanding of ancient craftsmanship. Through the geometry and architecture of Orkney's megalithic sites, it reveals a long-overlooked prehistoric technology: rope production and measuring skills.
The book challenges Professor Alexander Thom's theories about elite astronomer-priests, and shows how ropes, geometry and stonework combined to create one of history's most extraordinary prehistoric landscapes.
