   Extractions: Archaeoastronomy We can assume that people have been observing the stars for as long as we have had minds enough to wonder. Throughout most of history there have been two reasons that people looked to the heavens: as a tool for predicting seasonal events such as planting and harvest times, and as a source of spiritual guidance and mythological explanation. Rare elements of true science have occasionally shown up, for example in ancient Greece, but it is only in the last few hundred years that we can really say that astronomy has become a science in the modern sense. Sadly, we still live in a world of irrational people who are prepared to believe in astrology and other nonsense. For these people, I have only sympathy that they have given up the very essence of what makes us human: our ability to reason. For our ancestors, who didn't know better, I give credit for the observations and discoveries that were made and which contributed to our knowledge today. When I travel, I always enjoy visiting sites with some historic astronomical significance, and I share here some of those places.

Archaeoastronomy (from http://archaeoastronomy.wordpress.com/archaeoastronomy/) Archaeoastronomy (also spelled Archeoastronomy) is the study of ancient or traditional astronomies in their cultural context, utilizing archaeological and anthropological evidence. It is closely associated with sister disciplines Ethnoastronomy, the study of astronomical practice in contemporary societies and Historical Astronomy , the use of historical records of heavenly events to answer astronomical problems. Another similar discipline is History of Astronomy which uses written records to evaluate prior astronomical traditions. It is most frequently mentioned with astronomical claims regarding Stonehenge or the pyramids of Egypt History of Archaeoastronomy Archaeoastronomy is arguably almost as old as archaeology itself.

It is often twinned with ethnoastronomy , the anthropological study of skywatching in contemporary societies. Archaeoastronomy is also closely associated with historical astronomy , the use of historical records of heavenly events to answer astronomical problems and the history of astronomy , which uses written records to evaluate past astronomical practice. Archaeoastronomy uses a variety of methods to uncover evidence of past practices including archaeology, anthropology, astronomy, statistics and probability, and history. Because these methods are diverse and use data from such different sources, the problem of integrating them into a coherent argument has been a long-term issue for archaeoastronomers. Archaeoastronomy fills complementary niches in landscape archaeology and cognitive archaeology . Material evidence and its connection to the sky can reveal how a wider landscape can be integrated into beliefs about the cycles of nature, such as

"...[A] field with academic work of high quality at one end but uncontrolled speculation bordering on lunacy at the other." edit "In his short history of 'Astro-archaeology' John Michell argued that the status of research into ancient astronomy had improved over the past two centuries, going 'from lunacy to heresy to interesting notion and finally to the gates of orthodoxy.' Nearly two decades later, we can still ask the question: Is archaeoastronomy still waiting at the gates of orthodoxy or has it gotten inside the gates?"

    Extractions: Archaeoastronomy is the study and interpretation of solar, lunar and stellar alignments found at ancient monuments such as pyramids, towers, ground lines such as the Nazca Lines in Peru, and megalithic sites Stonehenge, Carnac, Newgrange, etc. These monuments are on major planetary grid points. Archaeoastronomy uses celestial objects to mark time, much like calendars do. Archaeoastronomy investigates how the ancients applied astronomy in their lives, as well as in their art and architecture. The study of Archaeoastronomy is a cross disciplinary approach which examines the mythology, religion and world views of prehistoric and ancient civilizations through the means of their astronomical practices. It is the study of the study of contemporary native astronomies. In examining the observations of such peoples, it is possible to gain a certain insight into the ways in which they constructed their own universes and therefore provide a more holistic understanding of the means and motivations of the culture as a whole. The astronomical inquiry of the ancients must be looked upon as a mechanism of observation and prediction which closely tied them to their environments, depending upon various cultural, religious and mythological bases for validation in the process.

    Extractions: SCOPE Many prehistoric and ancient civilizations have left evidence of interest in astronomy but not all have left written records. Some of the archaeological evidence exists in the form of large architectural structures and monuments, some in the form of intricate diagrams and carvings. While historians of astronomy focus on the technical mathematical astronomy texts of the past, the written records, archaeoastronomers emphasize other cultural expressions in tombs, iconography, ritual, ceremony, and agricultural patterns. http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/tracer-bullets/tbs.html
