Silbury: Interpreting an enigma is Michael Dames' long- awaited sequel to his ground-breaking Silbury Treasure book. Now he describes recent dramatic events and discoveries at Britain's tallest and most enigmatic prehistoric monument. He sets the new-found major Romano-British settlement adjoining Silbury within Classical narratives of corn goddesses Demeter, Ceres, and their supernatural daughters. They echo Silbury's original Stone Age harvest rites, within a corresponding seasonal cycle. In this scholarly and lucid account the author employs evidence from across the Indo- European world, combined with much new local material, to resolve Silbury's mysteries, in both practical and supernatural terms. He draws all aspects of the Silbury environment into a harmonious synthesis, which radiates from the monument to touch the British landscape as a whole with a sacred legacy. This book shows how History encounters Myth, and mortals meet the Divine, at a monument to sustainability.
