SynopsisThe Goddess is the most potent and persistent feature in the archaeological records of the ancient world, a symbol of the unity of life in nature and the personification of all that was sacred and mysterious on earth. In this pioneering and provocative volume, Marija Gimbutas resurrects the world of the Goddess-worshipping, earth-centered cultures, bringing ancient matriarchal society vividly to life. She interweaves comparative mythology, early historical sources, linguistics, ethnography, and folklore to demonstrate conclusively that Goddess-worship is at the root of Western civilization. Illustrated with nearly 2,000 symbolic artifacts, Gimbutas' magnum opus is at once a "pictorial script" of the prehistoric Goddess religion and an authoritative work that takes these ancient cultures from the realm of speculation into that of documented fact. Over 500 illustrations.

Goddess Figurines Abound
A friend who lives in another state recommended this book, and so I got a copy so that we could share. The drawings and photographs are incredible - so many and in so much detail - and all are of actual Neolithic representations and variations on the goddess, vinčas, Mother Earth. I knew they existed but had no idea there were so many. 353 pages, including detailed maps, followed by another 33 pages of excellent referencesVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
