Was astronomy one of these lost sciences? Did priest~observers once stand atop these now crumbling towers to watch the slow turning of the stars? Archaeoastronomy, a modern discipline combining astronomy and archaeology, attempts to describe the astronomical knowledge of ancient peoples through the study of the unwritten records they left behind in these stone ruins. Beginning in the mid~1960s with the computer~aided analysis of celestial alignments at Stonehenge, increasing evidence has suggested that almost all peoples~in all ages and in all parts of the world~had an awareness of and an appreciation for celestial phenomena. This knowledge of the heavens, particularly the cyclic nature of certain events, helped our ancestors adapt to their environments, establish permanent settlements, and develop the rituals and ceremonies that gave order and meaning to their lives. For ancient man, the discovery of the stars may have been the first step toward scientific or, at least, systematic thinking, thus laying the foundations for modern civilization. The First Stargazers is a comprehensive survey of the origins of astronomy as revealed by the recent and sometimes controversial findings of archaeoastronomy. The book reexamines many well known monuments~the Caracol at Chichen Itza, Khefren's pyramid, the Nazca lines, Machu Picchu~in the light of new information about their alignments with celestial objects. Both readable and authoritative, The First Stargazers is more than an introduction to archaeoastronomy, for it also reevaluates how the close relationship between prehistoric people and the natural world produced a most human response: the drive to understand and control the mysteries of the universe.
