9780330531511: The Ancient Paths

Synopsis

Uncover the forgotten map that reveals a sophisticated ancient civilization in Graham Robb's groundbreaking The Ancient Paths.

Inspired by a serendipitous discovery, Robb embarked on a fascinating journey into the world of the Celts, exploring their gods, art, and most remarkably, their advanced understanding of science. His meticulous research gradually unveiled an extraordinary find: a lost map of an empire built with stunning precision and artistry across vast swathes of Europe. Forgotten for nearly two millennia, the map's implications are nothing short of astonishing.

With meticulous research and a wealth of revelations, The Ancient Paths breathes life into our distant history and reinterprets pre-Roman Europe. Told with Robb's signature elegance and passion, this dazzling and unforgettable book will forever change your perception of European civilization.

From the Back Cover

'An ingenious and thoroughly gripping historical and archaeological bolt from the blue.'
New Statesman, Books of the Year 2013

When Graham Robb made plans to cycle the route of the legendary Via Heraklea, he had no idea that his journey would change his understanding of pre-Roman Europe. The ancient path he followed took him deep into the civilization of the Celts, where his discoveries were so extraordinary that he spent years trying to disprove them.

Grounded in astronomy, philology, archaeology and history - not to mention 15,000 miles on a bicycle - this book presents nothing less than a new wonder of the ancient world.

'The Romans did a good job of writing their predecessors out of history . . . As Robb makes clear, they told only part of the story.'
Observer

'The findings of Graham Robb, a biographer and historian, bring into question two millennia of thinking about Iron Age Britain and Europe.'
Daily Telegraph

'Remarkable . . . an overarching, wondrous reworking of history.'
Philip Hoare, Literary Review

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Graham Robb's The Ancient Paths will change the way you see European civilization. Inspired by a chance discovery, Robb became fascinated with the world of the Celts: their gods, their art, and, most of all, their sophisticated knowledge of science. His investigations gradually revealed something extraordinary: a lost map, of an empire constructed with precision and beauty across vast tracts of Europe. The map had been forgotten for almost two millennia and its implications were astonishing. Minutely researched and rich in revelations, The Ancient Paths brings to life centuries of our distant history and reinterprets pre-Roman Europe. Told with all of Robb's grace and verve, it is a dazzling, unforgettable book. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005982752
