| Abstract: |
What makes this book poignant and relevant is the counterpoint to archaeological narratives it posits. Though archaeologists tell us that these megalithic dolmens, menhirs and the like were funerary or commemorative structures, local villagers near the monuments insist that they were the houses of a now-extinct race of dwarves called Moriyas. The stories in this collection are inspired by actual monuments and sites in India. As architect-author Srikumar M Menon went along collecting data about the monuments, he could not help collecting stories too. Srikumar’s stories also draw attention to outdated theories on the development of disciplines such as the ‘history of architecture’. Legislation and barbed wire fencing are grossly inadequate to protect these primitive monuments that our prehistoric ancestors built. |
