For thousands of years the Neolithic civilisation of Europe constructed ever-more complex stone monuments. Initially dismissed as "illiterate barbarians", they have only recently received a radical reappraisal, giving birth to the new science of Archaeo-Astronomy.

Far from being "savages", the Neolithic were highly intelligent, integrating a spiritual worldview with extraordinarily skilled feats of engineering and astronomy, laying the foundations of modern science.

Ancient Skies features timelapse, CGI, never-before-seen alignment events and interviews with the some of the most respected academics in the field to explore this fascinating subject and the enduring popularity of the legacy of our ancestors.
