Houses of the Gods: Neolithic monuments and astronomy at the Brú na Bóinne in eastern Ireland and beyond

Kate Prendergast

4.9/5 (22553 ratings)

Description:Debates about the role of astronomy at the Neolithic monuments of the British Isles have occupied academic and independent researchers for many years. This book argues that the practice of astronomical observation had a deeply practical as well as symbolic role for early prehistoric societies negotiating the transition to an agricultural way of life. With a focus on the Brú na Bóinne World Heritage Site in Ireland, including the monuments of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, it is argued that our ancestors rendered astronomical knowledge meaningful through a rich symbolic system centred on the human experience of time. This in turn may help us to understand the role of astronomy in later epochs, as the struggle to accurately observe and interpret the cycles of Earth, sun, moon and stars continued into our recent history – a subject that continues to be explored in archaeology and history today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
