Williamson, Tom & Liz Bellamy — Ley Lines in Question

World's Work Ltd./Windmill Press, Tadworth, Surrey, 1983, First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth), As New, As New, Each year, a considerable number of books are written on ley lines, earth forces, landscape patterns and associated phenomena. Yet these books have received only passing criticism, if any at all, from the archaeological establishment. Thus, the 'earth energy school' has effectively become an alternative body of archaeological opinion. Tom Williamson and Liz Bellamy have taken a year from their studies at Cambridge to give serious examination to the case for 'alternative archaeology'; in particular they have explored the theory of ley lines the belief that lines and patterns formed by joining up ancient sites prove the existence of a megalithic science based on the manipulation of a mysterious force. As well as analysing the many arguments for and against ley lines, the authors have also considered why, and how, the subject has evolved, and its importance as a challenge to orthodox academia. There is much more to the subject than many archaeologists' are aware and, in many ways, conventional archaeology could benefit from studying, and even imitating, its popular rival. For many reasons this enquiry into alternative archaeology makes essential reading for both the ley-line enthusiast and the orthodox archaeologist. Size: Octavo (standard book size). 232 pages.
