The Language of the Goddess (1989), a cornerstone of archaeomythology, revolutionized perspectives on the origins of our culture. The author has succeeded in reconstructing the archaic civilization of Old Europe and in bringing to light the central presence of the feminine in history. Studies of her range from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. In support of her theses, she examines the finds, partly already known and partly unearthed by herself during her excavations in the Danube basin and in northern Greece, which include a vast repertoire of over 2000 artifacts, all reproduced in the volume, showing the forgotten links between the material world and that of the myths of a refined culture, whose genesis is at the roots of the cultural heritage of the West.
