This interesting and richly illustrated book looks at different civilizations and how they used their monuments to predict astronomical events. There are chapters on Stonehenge and other megalithic monuments, the Egyptians, the Mesopotamians, the Greek and the Incas. The tone of the book is scientific, but it reads easily.
If your French is okay, you might consider reading it.

Thanks for reminding me, I must get round to reading my copy of Echoes of the Ancient Skies: The Astronomy of Lost Civilizations by E. C. Krupp.
