Episode #24. Dr. Robert Barratt: Computational Archaeologist at Queens University, Belfast.

Ancient civilizations intentionally aligned monumetal architecture with the stars, but to what extent? In this thought-provoking discussion, Dr. Robert Barratt shares his recent archaeoastronomy paper, analyzing the work of ancient cultures, questioning the deliberation behind alleged celestial patterns that are claimed to be woven into their architecture. He examines the controversial theories of Graham Hancock and the broader debate of coincidence versus intentionality in ancient astronomy. From the Great Pyramids to Göbekli Tepe, how much did early humans truly understand about the cosmos?

#16 - Ian Hinton. Medieval Church Secrets: Investigating Freemason Alignment Theories
18th-century Freemasons believed medieval church architects in England oriented their buildings with the azimuth of sunrise on the day of the patronal saint. However, having spent over ten years exploring the English countryside with a compass Ian Hinton surveyed the alignments of over 2000 rural churches and his work thoroughly debunks this romantic masonic notion.

In this episode Ian discusses the hidden complexities of church building, revealing a suite of masonic secrets and myths. And after explaining why leylines are “utter nonsense,” Ian reveals how his database of alignments suggests changing weather and climate patterns were key factors in the orientation of English churches.

#14 - Dr. Philip Tonner. Heidegger, Dwelling and Prehistoric Metaphysics
With a background in philosophy, archaeology, and education Dr. Philip Tonner has taught at a number of Universities and secondary schools across the UK, and he is currently a Lecturer at the University of Glasgow’s School of Education.

Regarding his recent book - Dwelling: Heidegger, Archaeology, Mortality, one reviewer wrote “There really isn’t any directly comparable book – it is unique,” and in many ways so too is the following conversation.

In this episode we discuss the Phenomenology of archaeology in the context of palaeolithic and Neolithic cultures. Philip shares Heidegger’s work on “Dwelling,” a lifestyle in which agents were consumed by the practical needs of day to day living, where the modern thresholds between mind and body, or thought and action, were nonexistent.

This discussion presents an enthralling liminal voyage into ancient mind and cognition through the perspectives of Heidegger, and the interpretations and expansions of Dr. Philip Tonner.

#13 - Dr. Richard Friedman. Chaco Pt 03: Charting the Chacoan underworld
Dr. Richard Friedman is an expert in Geographic Information Systems [GIS] who integrates aerial technologies with remote sensing and ground surveying at archaeological sites.

In this episode we return to the Chaco Canyon in the US southwest where Richard outlines the astronomical, geographical and cosmological aspects of this vast assembly of tracks, roads, ways, sacred structures and underlying alignments.

Richard explains that the monumental landscape not only reflects aspects of the night sky, and the cycles of the Sun and moon, but it also served as a complex map of the perceived underworld.

Developing on our study into the controversial Chaco Meridian, which was delineated by Professor Stephen Lekson in Episode 02, Richard describes a series of T-shaped stone doorways, or thresholds, at Casas Grandes which might serve as architectural evidence for the arrival of a band of elite Chacoans migrating southwards from Aztec Ruins in Chaco Canyon.

#09 - Professor Helen Benigni and Barbara Carter. Paleolithic pantheons and astronomical goddesses
Professor Helen Benigni and Barbara Carter co-authored the best-selling book “The Myth of the Year, Returning to the Origin of the Druid Calendar”. Exploring where Celtic and Greek astronomy influenced mythology the authors presented academically rigorous interpretations of the Coligny calendar discovered in France, and the sacred Eleusian calendar of ancient Greece.

Exploring where the night sky meets ancient mythology in this far-reaching episode you’ll learn how lunar and venetian astronomy inspired ancient builders to monumentalize key stages in the cycles of the moon and Venus. And after delineating the archaeoastronomy of Celtic and Roman temple architecture the researchers outline some of the esoteric aspects of Bronze Age calendrical rituals associated with the moon and Venus.

Illuminating ancestral knowledge through the study of constellations, and presenting supporting artifacts from Ice Age Europe, Helen and Barbara systematically unveil the origins of seasonal myths, revealing the deities of a lesser-known Palaeolithic pantheon.

#08 - Dr. Ed Barnhart - ArchaeoEd Podcast. Sacred latitudes and zenith hierophanies
Having served almost three decades as an archaeologist, explorer, and instructor Dr. Edwin Barnhart, referred to herein as Ed, is Director of the Maya Exploration Center and host of the ArchaeoEd podcast. 

As a distinguished Fellow of the Explorers Club Ed has published numerous papers and he’s featured in over a dozen documentaries about the astronomy and architecture of ancient civilizations.
Ed’s aerial fieldwork in Northwestern Belize led to the discovery of the ancient city of Ma'ax Na, which is recognised as a significant achievement in Classic Maya Period research.

He also directed the Palenque Mapping Project, a groundbreaking three-year initiative documenting over 1100 hitherto unknown maya structures in Palenque. In this episode Ed explains that many of the associations presented between Maya temple architecture and the cycles of Venus are figments of researchers' imaginations, and he replaces modern-myths with facets of Maya cosmology and lunar astronomy.

We also discuss Maya, Muisca and Khmer reverence for the sun at its zenith, and how certain latitudes were made sacred and embroiled in cylindrical rites and rituals. Enjoy this cosmic meandering with one of North America’s most riveting and dynamic archaeological storytellers,Dr. Edwin Barnhart.

#06 - Dr. Robert Weiner. Chaco Pt 02. Anasazi ceremonial ways and the Mount Wilson meridian
Dr. Robert Weiner is an Archaeologist in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Specializing in religion, cognition, and mind, Robert is renowned for his interpretations of ancient Chacoan roads in the US Southwest, which he studies in collaboration with the Navajo Nation.

In episode 02 Professor Steven Lekson outlined this seemingly endless matrix of criss-crossing roads and astronomical alignments, and herein, Robert Weiner takes us deeper into this monumental landscape discussing indigenous mythology, cosmology, spirituality and oral traditions.

We further examine the Chaco Meridian which was outlined by Professor Steve Lekson, revealing that Aztec Ruin, the last bastion of the Anasazi of Chaco Canyon, was built precisely south of Mount Wilson. Was this the alignment that was extended south to Casas Grandes in northern Mexico?

This discussion exists beyond and beneath the constraints of modern philosophy and cosmology, as Dr. Robert Weiner presents the engineered landscapes of New Mexico through holistic and animistic perspectives.

#05 - Dr. Robert Barratt. Mathematics, coding and the Neolithic alignments of Malta and Ireland
Having converted the tables of the sun, moon and planets presented in "Astronomical Algorithms," into computer code, Dr. Robert Barratt is a research scientist at the Queen's University in Belfast who designed and built his own software which he uses to produce 3d simulations of neolithic structures.

In this episode Robert shares his struggles against compounding variables, and he highlights the importance of matching archaeoastronomical assumptions with material culture.

And presenting his methods for utilizing statistics, random numbers and comparative models to test intentionality within astronomical alignments, Robert demonstrates how he married big data sets with field experimentation to reveal alignment data in the Neolithic temples of Malta and in the timber circles of Ireland.

Prepare to journey into the mathematics of archaeoastronomy, learning how computer coding is being applied to separate intentionality from chance, with Dr. Robert Barratt.
