The Stonehenge Scrolls Historical Fiction by K.P. Robbins Who built Stonehenge and why? Eleven ancient scrolls unearthed near Dublin purport to reveal the answers in this archaeology-based novel. You'll meet Myrddin, a prehistoric engineer as hard as the stones he struggles to move except when it comes to his red-haired daughter Sulis; the clan medicine woman Ogwyn, Sulis' grandmother; and the impetuous young chieftain Gwyr. But is the story they tell true? In alternating chapters of The Stonehenge Scrolls, archaeologist Maeve Haley's blog cites the evidence and speculates on the meaning of Stonehenge. "How did the Stonehenge monuments come to be? Plenty of nonfiction titles discuss possibilities, but for a fictional perspective that is compelling and involving, you can't beat the thrills and unusual perspectives of The Stonehenge Scrolls." --Midwest Book Review "I love this book. After years of her own fascination and study of the subject, Robbins makes this shrouded mystery of the past come alive. It's a great read."--accentBritain.com Rated Four Stars by Amazon Reader Reviews

Legends say the spear offers immortality and world dominance. Rulers and emperors from Charlemagne to Hitler killed for it. But they were hunting a fake; the real icon remained hidden. In Istanbul, historian Huw Griffiths stumbles upon an old manuscript in the ruins of a recently uncovered church. It points to a scroll that could lead to the spear’s discovery. Vengeful Druids determined to destroy western culture, especially Christianity, and enraged over the loss of Excalibur to Griffiths and his American colleague Stone Wallace, latch on to the new find. Their goal: kill the pair and seize the icon. A deadly pursuit follows from Istanbul to the Austrian Tyrol and across Wales and Germany, swooping through Canada and New Mexico to a deadly confrontation in a sleepy Illinois town. Terrorism and death swirl into a terrifying journey that skirts the borders of the Druid underworld, for the scroll reveals the hiding place of the Spear of Destiny—the spear thrust into Jesus Christ at the crucifixion. As the hunters close in on the Lucifer Scroll, the question becomes who will get there first. “…a fresh telling of one of the great myths of western culture.” —Coleman Luck, Hollywood screenwriter, TV producer (The Equalizer), and author (Angel Fall)

Before breaking his lunar orbit, Snell reviewed his mission instructions: 1. Locate the lost Observer ship and salvage or destroy it. 2. Destroy any Syssphinx attempt to communicate with its home base. If possible, discover details about the Syssphinx race. 3. Find and communicate with the Lorelei. The first directive would be simple. As for the second one, either the Dark ship was destroyed or if not, so he had almost no chance to complete the directive. The Dark ships and their Syssphinx crews were the sworn enemies of all other life forms in the universe. No one really understood their avowed goal to extermination all life. Repeated negotiations had failed miserably. The second part of this directive was interesting. Behind its words, it demonstrated the Observers insatiable curiosity to know and to learn. The third directive was the most exciting, but probably not possible. When seen, descriptions of the Lorelei were always different, fantastic and contradictory. A Lorelei could be gaseous, liquid or solid, at will. It could be huge. Or small. It was intelligent. Or primal. It could communicate. Or it was pure life force. Even the Observers didnt know, and they knew everything. Snell smiled. Observers could not be omniscience and without knowledge at the same time. His elders lack of knowledge about either the Syssphinx or the Lorelei both amused and fascinated him. With determination, he activated his thrusters, broke orbit, and slipped toward the planet below. He did not understand just how difficult fulfilling any the directives would be.

When Thomas discovers a strange stone covered with symbols and runes near Hadrian’s Wall, he finds himself drawn into the mystery of a secret, ancient organization known as the Stewards. Consulting his fellow academics, the archaeologist is determined to learn more about this elite group and their apparent connection to extraterrestrial visits to Earth over the course of human evolution. The protagonist slowly unravels a hidden story of Alien influence, from early agricultural developments to modern space exploration, and their partnership with the Stewards to protect and safeguard the knowledge of their visits and to help maintain the balance of the natural order, both on Earth and within the cosmos. The archaeology professor’s research leads him to holy sites throughout Britain and the influence of Celtic Spirituality as he explores what the Celts called “thin” places. Over the course of his quest, Thomas is given another stone etched with a strange glyph, but his journey of discovery puts him in the path of the Apostles of Hades, a sinister group determined to undermine this balance. Drawn to Stonehenge, Thomas meets another professor whose field of study is the ancient stone monument. Revealing herself to be a modern-day Steward, Dr. Vaughn assists Thomas in unravelling the secrets of the artifacts and, together, they gain allies to defeat the Apostles of Hades. When the true power of the stones is discovered, Thomas and the now-powerful Stewards find themselves in a cosmic clash to preserve the future of Earth’s existence. The novel is a familiar plot of science-fiction, yet with an intriguing Celtic twist.

In this book, Lynne Kelly explores the role of formal knowledge systems in small-scale oral cultures in both historic and archaeological contexts. In the first part, she examines knowledge systems within historically recorded oral cultures, showing how the link between power and the control of knowledge is established. Analyzing the material mnemonic devices used by documented oral cultures, she demonstrates how early societies maintained a vast corpus of pragmatic information concerning animal behavior, plant properties, navigation, astronomy, genealogies, laws and trade agreements, among other matters. In the second part Kelly turns to the archaeological record of three sites, Chaco Canyon, Poverty Point and Stonehenge, offering new insights into the purpose of the monuments and associated decorated objects. This book demonstrates how an understanding of rational intellect, pragmatic knowledge and mnemonic technologies in prehistoric societies offers a new tool for analysis of monumental structures built by non-literate cultures.
