Stonehenge And Megalithic Cultures

This new series, Sites of the World’s Cultures, presents a revealing look at the locations that influenced the creation of some of the world’s greatest cultures. Filmed entirely on location.

Some 5,000 monuments have been preserved from the Neolithic Age. They testify to a culture which left no written evidence and whose religious ideals are obscured by a veil of conjecture. Numerous unsolved questions still fascinate people, as do the huge dolmens and menhirs, the burial mounds and stone circles. They create for us a society which was capable of great feats.

This informative program focuses on Stonehenge, the symbol of megalithic culture, and investigates the relationship of space, power and death, essential to any understanding of this unique monument.
