‘Earth Mysteries’ is a term which was coined in the early 1970s to cover the heterogenous interests of the ‘fringe’ approaches to archaeology and related matters. This broad scope was instigated by John Michell’s The View over Atlantis (Thames and Hudson 1969; reissued as The New View over Atlantis in 1983) and, a little later, by Paul Screeton’s Quicksilver Heritage (Thorsons 1974). The most prolifically-published of the early Earth Mysteries pioneers proved to be Janet and Colin Bord. Mysterious Britain (Garnstone 1972) was the first of their many titles which dealt with ancient earthworks, standing stones, holy wells, mazes and labyrinths, folklore and folk customs, ghosts, UFOs and other related matters.
