Neolithic Pembrokeshire, Dolmens, Rock Art, Frogs & Wisdom.

The Neolithic people lived in both a spiritual and a material world. They were deeply religious people and to understand their superstitions our imagination needs to go into overdrive. The sad thing is our gearbox is broken and we are no longer able to think like they did. To comprehend their mindset is like trying to guess what religious beliefs a dolphin has. Tom Bennett is an explorer, a researcher and a myth buster. He used to write books on Shipwrecks but is now concentrating on the Anthropology of the Megalithic people in Pembrokeshire. Finding hundreds of petroglyphs and carvings all over the Preseli Hills, there is a need to show others. The death rituals, dolmen use, carvings of hedgehogs and mountain cairns all make sense once their religion is understood. This book is an introduction to Neolithic Rock Art in Pembrokeshire; sculptures made thousands of years before Christian Saints or Ogham writing. Pembrokeshire has the highest density of Megalithic sculptures in Britain, not studied yet because they have been not been seen. The reader is shown how to 'read' standing stones and dolmens and discover their meaning. Where to find rocking stones and a cursus in Pembrokeshire. Why some stone circles were not a ritual site for communal gatherings. Every day was a rebirth for the living and the dead. This book makes the ancient stones live once again.
