A Brief Introduction to [What is] Archaeoastronomy

http://terpconnect.umd.edu/~tlaloc/archastro/index.html

[The study of the astronomical practices, celestial lore, mythologies, religions, and world-views of all ancient cultures we call archaeoastronomy. We like to describe archaeoastronomy, in essence, as the "anthropology of astronomy", to distinguish it from the "history of astronomy".

You may already know that many of the great monuments and ceremonial constructions of early civilizations were astronomically aligned. The accurate cardinal orientation of the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt or the Venus alignment of the magnificent Maya Palace of the Governor at Uxmal in Yucatan are outstanding examples. We learn much about the development of science and cosmological thought from the study of both the ancient astronomies and surviving indigenous traditions around the world.] Sic

Research has revealed that Traditional Tribes and Indigenous Native Cultures had their own Scholars/Medicine Elders who were very knowledgeable about in these areas of Native Sciences. Another example of Spiritual Physics and Universal connection, we had our own sciences and were not restricted by saying something was impossible, but rather trust in the sacred ways.

        In truth, I have come to realize we had a number of scholars, teachers, medicine elders, and spiritual leaders. Much of our culture proves more advanced in ways other cultures could not understand or possessed the ability to comprehend, since we had a collective oneness with the universe and the Sacred Ones. Our science dealt with physics and quantum physics, in ways few these days can remember, although we incorporated much of our traditions and religion in our daily life, as well.
