Episode #24. Dr. Robert Barratt: Computational Archaeologist at Queens University, Belfast.

Ancient civilizations intentionally aligned monumetal architecture with the stars, but to what extent? In this thought-provoking discussion, Dr. Robert Barratt shares his recent archaeoastronomy paper, analyzing the work of ancient cultures, questioning the deliberation behind alleged celestial patterns that are claimed to be woven into their architecture. He examines the controversial theories of Graham Hancock and the broader debate of coincidence versus intentionality in ancient astronomy. From the Great Pyramids to Göbekli Tepe, how much did early humans truly understand about the cosmos?

Ancient archaeology and exploration come together as we delve into the expertise of Richard Friedman, a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) specialist who integrates aerial technologies, remote sensing, and ground surveying at archaeological sites. Joining him is Walter Payne, a Remote Sensing Scientist and Space Analyst, who films with Ashley in Colombia producing geospatial maps of archaeological sites.

In this episode, we explore Chaco Canyon in the U.S. Southwest through Richard's captivating photographs, films, and LiDAR scans. Together, we discuss the astronomical, geographical, and cosmological orientations and alignments of its sacred structures, roads, and tracks.

You are about to explore the intersection of ancient astronomy and prehistoric engineering, at Germany's Magdalenenberg mega mound. Joining us is Dr. Allard Mees, an archaeologist and head of the scientific IT department at the Leibniz institute of archaeology in Mainz, Germany.

Allard takes us on an extraordinary journey through, around and above the archaeology of this massive ancient superstructure, unveiling its role as a sophisticated tool of archaeoastronomy for charting the movements of the sun, moon, and stars.

Describing the Antikythera mechanism as a "Black Forest cuckoo clock" Allard reveals how both this device and the ancient mound marked the changing seasons, shaped cultural practices, and orchestrated ritual activities, offering profound insights into the ingenuity of its creators.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Antonio César González-Garcia, the President of the European Society for Astronomy in Culture (SEAC) since 2017, a renowned Astrophysicist and Archaeoastronomer whose groundbreaking research bridges the cosmos and culture. With a PhD in Astrophysics from Groningen and extensive fieldwork across Europe, the Near East, and Anatolia, Dr. González-Garcia has dedicated his career to uncovering the celestial connections behind ancient structures.

Together, we delve into the archaeoastronomy of Jordan's oldest astronomical architecture, unraveling its influence on the monumental landscapes that culminated in the creation of the iconic Petra Treasury. Exploring both functional and sacred orientations to examining the interplay between religion and architectural planning, this conversation sheds light on the cosmic significance encoded in some of humanity's most awe-inspiring archaeological sites.

Professor Marc Frincu is an authority in distributed systems, big data, smart grids, astronomy, and archaeoastronomy. Marc is also the secretary of the European Society for Astronomy in Culture and vice-president of the Romanian Society of Cultural Astronomy.

In this episode Marc guides us deep into the Armenian Highlands and relives his extraordinary discoveries of Bronze Age astronomical devices. He discusses the functionality of mysterious spiral and cup-shaped petroglyphs, and delineates crumbling stone structures with starburst alignments to surrounding burial sites and mountaintops.

We also dive into Yazidi cosmology, and Mark outlines a north to south Bronze Age meridian line defined by a cone of stones framing the circumpolar stars. And seeking meaning, we discuss ancient perception of the north sky and how it was perhaps associated with notions of mortality, and infinity.

18th-century Freemasons believed medieval church architects in England oriented their buildings with the azimuth of sunrise on the day of the patronal saint. However, having spent over ten years exploring the English countryside with a compass Ian Hinton surveyed the alignments of over 2000 rural churches and his work thoroughly debunks this romantic masonic notion.

In this episode Ian discusses the hidden complexities of church building, revealing a suite of masonic secrets and myths. And after explaining why leylines are “utter nonsense,” Ian reveals how his database of alignments suggests changing weather and climate patterns were key factors in the orientation of English churches.
