Archeoastronomy

I´m going to talk about archeoastronomy, my favourite subject of my career. This subject shows how past cultures understood the astronomical phenomena. If you understand it, you will be able understand the mind of other peoples, because that shows their worldview, their knowledge about space and time. 

There were expositives classes. The first and sencond class was done by an astronomer. Those classes were about astronomy like science. The following classes were about archeoastronomy, with cultural and archeological aspects. The final evaluations were a exposition, reading tabs and a monography. The exposition was about andine astronomy; reading tabs about Cultural Astronomy, and monography about mapuche and aymara astronomy.

I think this subject is very intereseting, because it studies a symbolic area since materility. The knowledge of stars, like I said, let us to know the found  of worldview of other people. However, this is controversial because it is very difficult to know that only through material objects. For this reason, historical and ethnographic sources are usually used to support the analyzes.

Finally, the universe beyond our planet is an unknown area for all cultures, including modern astronomy, so it is interesting to know how other cultures, with a different way of seeing the world, understood heaven.
