Description Ancient Astronomy: India, Egypt, China, Maya, Inca, Aztec, Greece, Rome, Genesis, Hebrews, Christians, the Neolithic and Paleolithic by Juan Antonio Belmonte, Helge Kragh, Yash P. Aggarwal et al. Cosmology Science Publishers | October 2015 | ePUB/MOBI/converted PDF | 14.2/14.5/16.2 mb https://www.amazon.com/Ancie...eolithic-ebook/dp/B016Z6XUXG The origins of astronomy and cosmology may have a history which extends thousands and possibly tens of thousands of years into the past. Evidence of this awareness can be found in ancient caves and underground cathedrals dating from the Paleolithic, in the orientation of Neolithic monuments, and by the design of temples from ancient India and Egypt. This book reviews some of this evidence. CHAPTERS: Prologue: Ancient Cosmologies: The Paleolithic and Neolithic Universe 1.
