About this title

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.
