Description - Prehistoric Stone Monuments by UNESCO

Older than the pyramids of Egypt and the oldest cities of Sumeria, megaliths are human beings' earliest great works of architecture. They represent an important turning point in history: the change from a nomadic life of hunting to a settled life of farming. This volume describes several outstanding examples of this monumental architecture, including Stonehenge and Avebury in England as well as the temples of Ggantija and the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni in Malta.
