Brentwood Library: Archaeoastronomy: The Astronomy of Civilizations Past

An illustrated, non-technical presentation that will describe the astronomy of civilizations ranging from the seagoing Polynesians, to the builders of Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids, to our own First Nations.

Also being mentioned will be the astronomy of China, India, and the Islamic world, since it is often under-appreciated. Throughout, we will emphasize the challenge of understanding the astronomy of long ago, in civilizations which, in many cases, left no written records.
