Trojas murar - The Walls of Troy: Labyrinths during 3000 Years


The Author’s notes on the translation:


An English translation of the book was completed in the spring 2024. It is not printed, but has been made accessible on the internet, without cost for the users. I am very grateful to Jeff Saward who has kindly checked the English. There are several small adjustments of the text. Chapters 26 and 46 have been partly rewritten. A new map has been added to chapter 26 showing my idea of how and when the turf labyrinths might have spread from Italy to southern Scandinavia, and maybe a thousand years later to the British Isles. Finally, many thanks to my publisher P O Flodberg for his endless patience with me and to Badelunda Hembygdsförening for their support over the years.
