Summary

Iain Forbes presents an exciting new theory that explains the previously impenetrable symbols on Pictish stones. Using a combination of astronomical software and delving into the cosmology of European mythological stories, Forbes demonstrates that scenes depicted on two prominent monuments are actually celestial calenders.
