The calendars and timekeeping devices of ancient societies are well recognized for their civil functions in agriculture and their roles in religious rituals and ceremonies.
It is in this brief and naive way that the astronomy of ancient cultures is usually explained.
Meanwhile, modern astronomy relies on advanced technology—such as telescopes, satellites, and computers—to observe and analyze the universe, galaxies, the solar system, and beyond.
Its findings and studies are recognized on a scientific basis, with theories developed through physics and mathematics, as well as expertise in cosmology, the study of the formation and evolution of the universe.
To this day, the differences found between both methods of study have been regarded as a natural scientific superiority of modern astronomy over ancient astronomy, which is often considered rudimentary and utilized essentially for spiritual and religious purposes.
However, what I have found in this research into calendars is that, quite probably, we are actually the naive astronomers.
For the method of study we know, practiced by modern astronomy, is built on entirely different foundations—distancing us from the possibility of recognizing ancestral practices and methods.
This study revealed that ancestral knowledge was scientific and precise, with unprecedented results in astronomy that allow for a new way to track Earth's spacetime in relation to the Moon and the Sun. This is a method that connects the Fabric of the Earth with the Order of the Universe and life on our planet.
And upon reflection, it could not be any other way: only a powerful cultural motive could explain the drive to raise tons of stone to build colossal monuments in those cultures. These structures feature architectural forms and proportions inherently linked to astronomy and natural life on Earth.
The knowledge provided by Ancestral Astronomy naturally and organically integrates Earth into the chain of the Universe, offering Humanity the awareness of its rational connection to the Cosmos.
This scientific understanding allows us to recognize the same form of Expansion and Order in the Sky and the Earth, reflected in our own lives.
Thus, it rules out the possibility that astronomy can explain the order and the way the Universe Expands and Manifests—a scientific and philosophical limitation with important consequences for the conditions of human life and existence on planet Earth.
The modern astronomical system has distanced astronomy from the spacetime where Earth and Humanity exist, describing an increasingly distant Universe that is difficult to understand and relate to Natural Human Life.
Meanwhile, the astronomical observations of ancient cultures regarding the circular and cyclical movements of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun allowed them to find the manifestation of the Universe in patterns similar to those observed in the Sky and expressed on Earth.
It is upon this knowledge, discovered within the fabric woven by the system connecting Earth, the Moon, and the Sun in Spacetime, that all of Ancestral Astronomy is built.
It is dedicated to describing the pattern of coordinates and specific alignments within Earth's Spacetime, observed in periodic Sky events such as Eclipses, Lunation, Rotation, Revolution, Solar Year, Solar Day, etc.
The information found in the Calendars of Ancestral Cultures is far broader than we can imagine.
When this knowledge is properly integrated into our culture, it will finally be possible to understand the reason why those cultures attributed a privileged importance to the Sky above all things.
The practice of astronomy throughout human history, across cultures both before and after Christ, may have been the area where the greatest cultural reforms occurred during the transition from one Era to another.
Two Eras, two Cultures, two Astronomies for a single Sky.
