Part I: History of Cosmic Symbolism in Art and Architecture -- Chapter 1: Introduction to the Book Topics -- Chapter 2: Basics of Astronomy and Archaeoastronomy -- Chapter 3: World's Earliest Art and Astronomy -- Chapter 4: Neolithic Art, Architecture and Astronomy -- Chapter 5: Art, Architecture and Astronomy in Ireland -- Chapter 6: Art, Architecture and Astronomy in England -- Part II: Astronomical Art and Architecture of Southeast Asia -- Chapter 7: Hinduism and Cosmology in India -- Chapter 8: Art, Architecture and Astronomy at Angkor Wat Temple -- Chapter 9: Art, Architecture and Astronomy of Buddhism -- Part III: Astronomical Art and Architecture of China -- Chapter 10 Art, Architecture and Astronomy in China -- Part IV: Astronomical Art and Architecture of the Classical World -- Chapter 11: Art, Architecture and Astronomy in Classical Greece -- Chapter 12: Art, Architecture and Astronomy of Petra -- Chapter 13: Art, Architecture and Astronomy in the Roman Empire -- Part V: Astronomical Art and Architecture of Early Europe -- Chapter 14: Art. Architecture and Astronomy during the Middle Ages -- Chapter 15: Art, Architecture and Astronomy during the Renaissance -- Part VI: Astronomical Art and Architecture of the New World -- Chapter 16: Art, Architecture and Astronomy at Teotihuacan -- Chapter 17: Art, Architecture and Astronomy in South America -- Index.

For centuries, our ancestors carefully observed the movements of the heavens and wove that astronomical knowledge into their city planning, architecture, mythology, paintings, sculpture, and poetry. This book uncovers the hidden messages and advanced science encoded within these sacred spaces, showing how the rhythmic motions of the night sky played a central role across many different cultures. Our astronomical tour transports readers through time and space, from prehistoric megaliths to Renaissance paintings, Greco-Roman temples to Inca architecture. Along the way, you will investigate unexpected findings at Lascaux, Delphi, Petra, Angkor Wat, Borobudur, and many more archaeological sites both famous and little known. Through these vivid examples, you will come to appreciate the masterful ways that astronomical knowledge was incorporated into each society's religion and mythology, then translated into their physical surroundings. The latest archaeoastronomical studies and discoveries are recounted through a poetic and nontechnical narrative, revealing how many longstanding beliefs about our ancestors are being overturned. Through this celestial journey, readers of all backgrounds will learn the basics about this exciting field and share in the wonders of cultural astronomy.
