They saw meaningful patterns in an order that would remain constant through the ages, and from the skies they created numbering systems, maps, clocks, calendars, science, religion, and myth. For the very first time, Echoes of the Ancient Skies shows exactly how this was done through an around~the~world tour of ruins, temples, pyramids, observatories, and tombs, following the paths of great cultures through the centuries. Using the sciences of astronomy, anthropology, and archaeology, Dr. E. C. Krupp, noted director of Los Angeles's Griffith Observatory and author of the internationally acclaimed In Search of Ancient Astronomies, probes the beginnings of time to discover and illuminate how mankind emerged from chaos into understanding. Here are the myths and magic of lost civilizations: the sun being "captured" between the twin towers as viewed from an ancient Inca temple; the quartz window box that illuminates a centuries~old New Grange, Ireland, tomb only one day of each year; the stream of light penetrating a crevasse to once again make whole an ancient American Indian drawing of a fractured universe. Here are the tales of Egyptian pharaohs and their pyramid tunnels to the stars; the heavenly design of China's Forbidden City; and the sacred spaces of England's Stonehenge and Long Meg. Handsomely illustrated with hundreds of drawings and photographs, Echoes of the Ancient Skies is a gripping adventure of discovery and exploration. It is the story of the beginnings of civilization~ as expressed in our yearning for the stars.…
