Archaeoastronomy is the “science of stars and stones”: it studies the relationships between the ancient monuments and the sky, in order to gain a better understanding of the ideas of the architects of the past and of their religious and symbolic world. During the course, you can visit many spectacular ancient sites – such as Stonehenge in England, Giza and Karnak in Egypt, Chichen Itzá in the Yucatan, Macchu Picchu in Peru and the Pantheon in Rome.
Let’s explore this fascinating discipline in the new MOOC on Polimi Open Knowledge with Giulio Maglio (Politecnico di Milano).
