About this item
What are the secrets of the ancient stone circle? Were the carefully placed stones a burial site, an ancient calendar, a place of Druid worship...or even a site of sacrifice? World-renowned archaeologist Mike Parker-Pearson has spent the last seven years on a quest to answer these and many other questions. In If Stones Could Speak, award-winning author Marc Aronson joins the research crew and records their efforts to crack Stonehenges secrets. National Geographic helped sponsor the Riverside archeological teams mission, and now young readers can journey behind the scenes to experience this groundbreaking story first-hand, through the eyes of the experts. Mike and his team have revolutionized our understanding of Stonehenge by exploring the surrounding landscape for clues about the stones -- an idea first suggested by a visitor from Madagascar.
About the Author
All of my books start with questions, and I hope they prompt readers to ask questions of their own. I find history history endlessly fascinating. It is the detective story that yields us as the answer. I try to write each book with the same care I would put into a novel, but with the same respect for truth as a judge in a court of law.
