Sinopsis

The idea of a Mother or Earth Goddess has become a rallying-point for a generation weary of male-oriented religions. But is the idea of Goddess at the dawn of civilization a historical fact, or just consoling fiction? In this text, historians and archaeologists speak about this topic. From predynastic Egypt to classical Greece and early North West Europe to the Celts, they review the most recent evidence.
