Archaeoastronomy (also spelled archeoastronomy ) is the study of how people in the past "have understood the phenomena in the sky , how they used phenomena in the sky, and what role the sky played in their cultures ." [ 1 ] Clive Ruggles argues it is misleading to consider archaeoastronomy to be the study of ancient astronomy , as modern astronomy is a scientific discipline, while archaeoastronomy considers other cultures' symbolically rich cultural interpretations of phenomena in the sky. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] 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.

Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La Cham des Bondons est un plateau calcaire d'une dizaine de kilomètres carrés s'étendant au sud-ouest du mont Lozère , à une dizaine de kilomètres de Florac , dans le département de la Lozère . Ce plateau tient son nom du mot occitan local Cham (plateau ou causse) et de la proximité de la commune des Bondons . Avec ses 154 menhirs de granit, le site constitue la deuxième concentration de monuments mégalithiques en Europe après les alignements de Carnac en Bretagne . On estime que la mise en place de ces pierres doit se situer entre la fin du Néolithique et l' âge du bronze .

Yet on the Causse de Blandas, in southern France, there are several, some of which are superb. This is probably the best of them all.

http://ancientegypt.hypermart.net/twelveages/index.htm It made sense at the time but down through the millennia it was to cause utter confusion for later generations, as the original Secret of Hu became lost. (See Part 2 ) The Sphinx at Giza was no longer considered to be the earthly representation of Hu, God the Creator, the Celestial Sphinx. Rather, the Sphinx at Giza came to represent the Constellation of Leo, the substituted deity. On the earlier sky charts of the lost Constellation of Hu, the Celestial Sphinx, he appears to face towards the West.
