The dramatic story of renowned archaeologist Dr. Marija Gimbutas has never been more timely. Her work on the Neolithic cultures of Old Europe, (6500-3500 BCE), reveals evidence of peaceful, woman-honoring, Goddess worshiping, and egalitarian civilizations that existed for thousands of years without war.

“This was a long-lasting period of remarkable creativity and stability, an age free of strife.
Their culture was a culture of art.” - Marija Gimbutas

Determined and courageous, Marija Gimbutas stayed true to what she saw—amidst ridicule,
criticism and controversy. If her theories are correct, then reverence for the earth, peace and
co-operation, are the very underpinnings of European civilization itself.

“Through an understanding of what the Goddess was, we can better
understand nature and we can build our ideologies so it will be easier
for us to live.”-Marija Gimbutas

SIGNS OF THE TIMES examines Gimbutas’ life, her work, her theories,
her critics, and her influence on scholars, feminists and social thinkers.
