The latest book written by Marija Gimbutas, published posthumously, summarizes decades of research conducted in the most important European Neolithic and Upper Paleolithic sites: the result is an impressive series of findings that lead to the reconstruction of a coherent and complex ideology, centered on the female deity, the "great goddess" of death and regeneration. Nurse and exterminator, the goddess brings together the myths and rites of the inhabitants of Europe that preceded the great Indo-European invasions (estimated in two waves, between 4000 and 3000 BC).
