'Kosmische Kultstätten der Welt' (book in German)

Astronomy and sacred sites. The firmament through the eyes of our ancestors.

All over the world, impressive structures demonstrate the astronomical knowledge of our early ancestors. This enabled them to understand the coming and going of the stars and use this knowledge in their daily lives. Stone circles such as Stonehenge were used to calculate solar and lunar eclipses, while sighting devices were used to determine the beginning of the seasons. This richly illustrated book describes in detail over 50 important places of worship around the world.
