In the decades to come, archaeologist Marija Gimbutas will be regarded as one of the most important women of the XNUMXth century. His pioneering and interdisciplinary research on the first cultures of Europe has led to a new understanding of the origins and values of Western civilization. According to anthropologist Ashley Montagu, "Marija Gimbutas has given us a real Rosetta stone of very high heuristic value." Linguist Harald Haarmann says: "(Gimbutas') discovery of a deeper layer of European history ... can be seen as the framework for a new paradigm in antiquity research."
From the Realm of the Ancestors: An Anthology in Honor of Marija Gimbutas, is an international collection of essays by leading scholars in archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, genetics, history, mythology, comparative religion, women's studies, psychology, poetry and the visual arts, all inspired by the work of Marija Gimbutas, providing new understanding of the beginnings of European civilization and profound possibilities for cultural transformation.
