This book will attempt to demonstrateÑregardless of various scientific and other methods claiming to confirm the Christian origin of the Round Towers of IrelandÑthat the debate surrounding their actual history and function is still far from conclusively proven.
There exists enough shadow and vagueness within the topic to suggest a far more profound and ancient mysteryÑwhen we incorporate a polymath-style approachÑby examining the history of the Round Towers without ecclesiastical eyes.
Peeling back the layers of accepted narratives surrounding the towers reveals a very different story below the numerous facades and fables which have been placed upon the Round Tower story. Facades and fables designed to hide their true origins.
