21. Archaeoastronomy In Denmark Brief introductory article with examples of prehistoric constructions in Denmark with levels pointing in suspicious astronomical directions. http://www.rundetaarn.dk/engelsk/observatorium/archaeoas.htm

Prehistoric Tycho Brahe Ole Rømer Hertzsprung ... Timeline HOME Archaeoastronomy in Denmark by Erling Poulsen Printerfriendly version Several prehistoric monuments are known from abroad with levels pointing in significant astronomical directions, in particular from the Middle East. However, these cultures had a written language which can tell us - in present day - about their science. No written language existed in Northern Europe, and we have to base our knowledge of the past on archaeological evidence as well as on the few existing accounts of journeys written by literary people. Danish historians has begun accepting astronomical explanations to prehistoric findings; previous they prefered other interpretations. In other countries the subject is more accepted . In England the subject was taken seriously after the interpretation of Stonehenge as a Sun-Moon observatory (Hawkins, 1963). Since then, several stone-monuments have been explained in a similar way. In Germany, the subject has been taken seriously for many years, and a few years ago many Swedish stone-monuments got an astronomical interpretation. The big difference in the significance of the subject can be seen in a comparison of "The Big Danish Encyklopaedia" with the Swedish "Nationalencyklopaedin"; in the Swedish encyclopaedia, 15 times as much is written about the subject as in the Danish encyclopaedia. In the book "The Gallic War" Caesar says that the Teutonic people worship the Sun, fire and the Moon.

22. Archaeoastronomy At Mounds State Park By Donald R. Cochran During the 1988 Ball State University field school at Mounds Park, it was discovered that two enclosures were aligned to sunset at the summer and winter http://www.gbl.indiana.edu/abstracts/88/cochran_88.html

Donald R. Cochran (Department of Anthropology, Ball State University) ARCHAEOASTRONOMY AT MOUNDS STATE PARK During the 1988 Ball State University field school at Mounds Park, it was discovered that two enclosures were aligned to sunset at the summer and winter solstice when viewed from the center of the Great Mound. Additional depressions in the Great Mound embankment were found to be oriented toward due north and due west (sunset at the equinox) and to four locations to the east. The eastern alignments correlated with the rise of bright stars. The alignments through the Great Mound embankment also correlated with the post hole pattern previously recorded on the central platform of the Great Mound. In addition, a review of the distribution of similar enclosures in east central Indiana revealed that the sites were aligned to summer solstice sunrise and sunset. These discoveries have demonstrated aspects of site arrangement, regional organization, and expressions of Adena cosmology previously unrecognized.

Archaeoastronomy and Cultural Astronomy FAQ Learning Resource AR 3015 Introduction ... Clive Ruggles Last Updated: 19 May 2006 12:57 Information provided by Professor Clive Ruggles. This site has been designed and implemented by Tania Ruiz University of Leicester. Frequently Asked Questions What are archaeoastronomy and cultural astronomy? Archaeoastronomy is the study of beliefs and practices concerning the sky in the past, and especially in prehistory, and the uses to which people's knowledge of the skies were put. It uses archaeological and historical methods to investigate past astronomies. Ethnoastronomy is similar to archaoastronomy, except that it focuses upon more modern societies through the methods of anthropology, ethnography and sociology. Since there is no clear dividing line between the two fields, the term "cultural astronomy" has emerged which encompasses both. Astronomical alignments at Stonehenge, Mayan tables of eclipses and the motions of Venus, and why modern people still believe in astrology are among the topics covered in current research in these fields. Is it for real?

Home Archaeoastronomy Babylonian clay tablet Archaeoastronomy, together with ethnoastronomy and related disciplines, seeks to measure a culture's interest in celestial matters by investigating its astral lore, sacred rituals, calendrical systems, and architectural structures. With ever increasing knowledge about the belief-systems of ancient and aboriginal cultures, it has become obvious that celestial matters played a central role in their intellectual life and cultural institutions. Veneration of the most prominent celestial bodies is well attested already at the dawn of history in Mesopotamia and Egypt. Much the same belief-system is apparent in Mesoamerica, where the observation and worship of the various planets formed a virtual obsession. I have written extensively on the role of the various planets in ancient myth and religion.

Armchair Archaeoastronomy Wayne Campbell Photograph © Andrew Dunn Prehistoric stone structures, created by early astronomers, plotted the sun's motion against the horizon. These structures registered the ominous shortening of daylight as winter approached. At Stonehenge, pictured above, Druid priests used the carefully placed stones to follow the sun's journey. As the day's shortened, elaborate ceremonies appealed to the gods to stop the sun and lengthen the days. Every year the ceremonies worked, the sun paused for a few days and then began moving back north. Fortunately that is still true today, every year around December 21, the sun stops its southward journey the amount of daylight increases, temperatures moderate and spring arrives. We know that this phenomenon, the winter solstice, is the result of a tilted earth, orbiting the sun. A similar event occurs around June 21. At summer solstice, the sun pauses its northward motion and begins its journey south towards the winter solstice. To avoid confusion with summer and winter in the two hemispheres it is easier to refer to the two solstices as June solstice and December solstice Studying these ancient observatories and the people who created them is called archaeoastromony.

36. The Gilded Butterfly Megalithism and shamanism on Caprione s promontory recent studies. Lerici, Italy. http://www3.shiny.it/caprione/

Some years ago, while studying the morphology of Oscan and Celtic toponyms on the Caprione, the most eastern promontory of the Liguria Riviera ( Oscan etymology kaprum = scapegoat ) we have discovered five holy megalithic ( literal meaning = big stones ) places, not reciprocally visible. Using holism we performed geological analyses to demonstrate the presence of human work on creating these megalithic structures ( ) although these analyses cannot be used as a specific dating test they do show that there has been no recent anthropological action. We have checked that the megalithic places are located near faults, fractures, dolines, and ancient water springs. While studying connections between geology and geobiology, we have laid out the five holy megalithic places in a Nautical Chart ( I.I.M., 1995

Archaeoastronomy: A Survey of Prehistoric Sites in South Wales by Martin J Powell "Archaeo-astronomy? Is it something to do with plants ?" - Book Retailer, Cardiff [Note: This is a preliminary work; a full, revised version of this article will appear here at a later date] Introduction T he following study is the result of a survey carried out by the author of prehistoric sites in the South Wales area of the United Kingdom. The monuments in question are generally considered to have served a funerary and/or ritual function and were constructed during the Neolithic (New Stone Age) and Bronze Age periods in Britain (ca. 3800 to 1200 BC). There is considerable evidence from around the world that prehistoric man held the heavens in great regard, and that part of his ritual and belief system involved orientating his monuments towards significant rising or setting positions of the Sun, Moon or stars along the horizon. Such orientations might also have served a secondary function as a primitive calendar. The study of prehistoric man's apparent fascination with the heavens, and the manner in which he orientated his monuments towards the celestial bodies, whether for ritual or secular purposes, is known as
