Stairways to the Stars: Skywatching the Three Great Ancient Cultures

Anthony F. Aveni

This text unravels the story of new revelations about three of the most popular and mysterious puzzles in ancient astronomy: the meaning of Stonehenge; what the Maya Code was about; and why the elaborate Inca City of Cuzco was built. It surveys findings that reveal fresh interpretations of the astronomical beliefs of each of the cultures. The book includes naked eye observing, pointing the reader to the night sky and the phenomena observed by the ancient cultures; illustrations of such things as Mayan stone tablets and ancient drawings of the constellations.
