Buckram hard cover with gold-stamped title on spine. Binding and pages in very fine condition, with 121 photographs, 82 drawings Bookplate and inscription inside front cover. Early Paleolithic practices appear to correlate the idea of a life beyond death with the preservation of mortal remains. From these early roots sprung megalithic burial structures around the Mediterranean. Late Neolithic religious and burial practices became refinements of these practices, culminating in the Egyptians' cult of the dead. Along with stone burial structures arose religious practices, culminating in the cult of the Great Goddess The author explores the megalithic remains of tombs around the Mediteranean and the associated cultic and religious practices. Tombs, altars, temples, idols, statues, houses, other buildings: she examines all and analyzes their relationships to worship and to death.
