ANCIENT EUROPE: IMAGES OF THE NEOLITHIC

To begin our story at the beginning... Where did we come from? How did we get here?

My own belief is that ALL of humanity are cousins, who wandered our separate ways over many millennia from a common ancestral home in Africa.

Whatever the mysteries of the distant past, around 5-10,000 years ago humans in Europe began to build stone circles, passage tombs and other strange megalithic structures, many of which have survived to the present day.

The first of my i-Globe special presentations includes photos of Stone Age (Neolithic) remains from the UK, Ireland, France and Malta, along with links to YouTube videos for further research.

MUSIC KEEPS ME TOGETHER

A constant companion throughout my life, music soothes and excites with its comforting familiarity and thrilling unpredictability, captivating us with patterns and rhythms (and sometimes words) which awaken deep inner feelings and reconnect us to the vibrations of the universe.

Here I offer a selection of sounds to accompany your visit to i-Globe. You will find more music using the link button below.
