Your Interests: archaeoastronomy, earth-based astronomy, megaliths, archaeology, history, ancient skills

Extra Info:
I am fascinated by archaeology and megaliths as well as by earth-based astronomy and the sorts of observations that anyone watching the patterns in the sky can make and how ancient cultures might have understood and connected to those patterns. In other words: archaeoastronomy. I am interested in making objective observations at various ancient sites and reporting findings to add to our knowledge of what alignments and other connections might exist to aid later inference about the ancient cultures involved.
