Stonehenge Decoded / Gerald S. Hawkins in collaboration with John B. White. New York: Dell Publishing Co., Inc., 1966
Summary
This brilliant and readable study challenges the notion that the 3500-year-old Stonehenge was a Druid temple, and concludes that it was actually a sophisticated astronomical observatory - in fact, a Neolithic computer, designed to predict eclipses.
