The Once and Future Zion

This earth was once a garden place,
With all her glories common
-- Adam-ondi-Ahman
(early Mormon pioneer hymn)

Is this the once and future society of peace called Zion by Jews, Christians and Mormons and prophesied by cultures worldwide?





"A long-running prejudice of historical studies holds that civilization and written language were born together in the ancient Middle East amid an orgy of empire-building. Some of the oldest extant writings record the exploits of conquering kings. [Archaeologist Marija] Gimbutas challenged this view by showing three things:

First, that Neolithic urban settlements greatly pre-dated the "first cities" of the patriarchal tradition;

Second, that at least some of these settlements had no defensive walls, no military burials, and no artwork recording warfare;

Third, that the decorative designs of the artwork of these cultures may actually be a sophisticated system of symbols through which ideas and values could be recorded and transmitted."

"Portraying the life and works of one of the most prolific archaeologists of the twentieth century is a daunting undertaking. Compressing it into a one-hour documentary seems well-nigh impossible.

That they succeed is a tribute to the understanding and film-making skills of Donna Read and Starhawk. A decade after their collaboration on the 'Goddess and Spirituality' trilogy, the two team up to present this film-biography of one of the true prophets of our hidden past." Narrated by Olympia Dukakis.
