Description
Learn how ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Indians, Chinese, and other cultures saw the sky and how the sun, moon, and stars were their clock, calendar, and compass. Constellations encoded their mythologies and the perfection of the heavens inspired religious and philosophical ideas, ultimately laying the foundation for modern science.
