Stones that could be Britain’s pyramids: ‘The history books tell us how the Romans brought civilisation to

the barbarians of Britain.

upside down by claiming that the ancient people of these

islands were far more advanced than any of the early

Mediterranean cultures…

“There was no great movement of peoples towards the Atlantic,

because they were already there,” he told the Hay-on-Wye book

festival yesterday. “Only recently have we begun to discover that

these people were far more advanced than those around the

Mediterranean. We have underestimated dramatically the

complexity of these people.” ‘ The Guardian
