Professor Helen Benigni and Barbara Carter co-authored the best-selling book “The Myth of the Year, Returning to the Origin of the Druid Calendar”. Exploring where Celtic and Greek astronomy influenced mythology the authors presented academically rigorous interpretations of the Coligny calendar discovered in France, and the sacred Eleusian calendar of ancient Greece.

Exploring where the night sky meets ancient mythology in this far-reaching episode you’ll learn how lunar and venetian astronomy inspired ancient builders to monumentalize key stages in the cycles of the moon and Venus. And after delineating the archaeoastronomy of Celtic and Roman temple architecture the researchers outline some of the esoteric aspects of Bronze Age calendrical rituals associated with the moon and Venus.

Illuminating ancestral knowledge through the study of constellations, and presenting supporting artifacts from Ice Age Europe, Helen and Barbara systematically unveil the origins of seasonal myths, revealing the deities of a lesser-known Palaeolithic pantheon.
