Description: "In Ancient Astronomy: An Encyclopedia of Cosmologies and Myth, one of the world's leading archaeoastronomers offers the reader a number of ways to approach the question of ancient people's relationship to the sky." "Ancient Astronomy brings a unique authoritative perspective to an area too often left to speculation and sensationalism. It provides readers not only with critical assessments of a range of facts and theories, but also with the concepts and tools to critically examine new evidence and claims for themselves. The book is equally suitable for the general reader, subject specialist, or anyone eager to distinguish sound evidence and key themes of archaeoastronomy from unsupported speculation and common misperceptions."--Jacket.
