内容説明・目次

内容説明

Compiled in honour of Anthony F Aveni, Americas leading archaeoastronomer, Skywatching in the Ancient World offers state-of-the-art work in cultural astronomy by well-known experts in Mayan glyphic studies, cultural history, ethnohistory, and the history of science and of religions. This collections wide range of outstanding scholarship reveals that cultural astronomy has come into its own. The diverse topics addressed by the contributors include the correlation between Colonial Northern Zapotec and Gregorian calendars, the Dresden Codex Venus table, new interpretations of the Lunar Almanacs in the Dresden Codex, the Tukapu and Inca calendars, temple and church orientations in ancient Hawaii and Medieval England, and the connection in cultural imagery between astronomers (science) and wizards (magic).
