Cracking the Stone Age Code

on BBC Two England

What is your idea of a Stone Age man? Someone nasty, brutish and short perhaps? Professor Alexander Thorn believes this is doing our early ancestors less than justice, for in the ruined stone circles and standing stones of Britain he claims to have discovered evidence of men of real scientific and mathematical genius living in Britain 4,000 years ago.
Written and narrated by Magnus Magnusson

"Professor Thorn, a dedicated Scot, has the kind of enthusiasm for his subject that invigorates television". (Daily Telegraph)
