Who Were The REAL Ancient Astronomers?

The segway for Patrion cracked me up. Well played sir.

Hey Paul, I've been reading about Anaximander recently. He lived 610 - c. 546 BC and was an amazing scientist. I'm flabbergasted about what he imagined way back then.

I didn’t realise, but I needed that message today - no matter the chaos and unpredictably, the sun and stars will always be there and good times and the summer will return 😊.

Heads bent down to look at the phone... or heads bent up to look at the heavens.

Betelgeuse isn't necessarily a transcription error, it was also called Bait Aljawza-a' in arabic (house of Gemini), I think this is the name that was transcribed. Nowadays it's only called Aljawza-a'.

[@justsharki]

Can you please make all those whole episodes you mentioned. That would be great. You are also great, thank you!

[@lorenzo.bernacchioni]

I can't wait to hear the Patreon injection 😄... and as always top quality content from Paul, thanks!

I built a time machine, once, but it was just special effects.

No words

"Look out at the sky" REALLY??? It's so polluted out there that you'd need a James Webb to get a glimpse of stars

[@markusmencke8059]

Never underestimate our ancestors. They may not have had our tools and toys, but brain-wise… there likely was not much of a difference for several tens of thousands of years. Btw, I have an astrolabe sitting right behind me on my shelf. A beautiful piece of art, and at the same time an impressively precise instrument. Thank you for this video. Ad Astra. 🙂

[@arlenestanton9955]

Ancient people spent a lot more time outside, then we do nowadays.

[@zimmy1958]

Great talk. Thanks.

The earliest individuals on Earth to look up at the sky and observe the Sun and the Moon and the stars were our ancestors who lived about 300 million years ago. This was after the eye had evolved in the creatures who lived in the sea, and they crawled out of the sea and evolved a brain that could recognize objects in the sky. Those were the first astronomers, but they probably didn't try to write anything down though.

[@jspanyer]

Excellent thank you

[@geordiedog1749]

Wow!

[@robertvesetas8751]

"There ain't half been some clever bastards ", the sage Ian Dury. Paul you have really hit this out of the park. Loved it!

[@CountryRam-jv5xr]

Best one ever

Civilizations which interpreted the sky flourished. Those that didn’t, died off.

Ancient Britons knew this stuff Dr. Sutter. But the had no writing, the druids or bards, teacbers and healers, used poetry and songs to pass information down such as calender star risings etc. People often think that stone age man was dumber than us. They had the same mathematical ability as were do now. Furthermore, they knew of the 18.6 year cycle of the moon and 8 year cycle of Venus and no writing, they could predict the solar eclipse at stone henge using markers moved in opposite directions and different counts, when they landed on the same stone,a solar eclipse. No writing, just songs and poems.

Maybe if Angry Birds was available no one would go to the 5 days party.

[@hankyou]

Beautiful Paul! ;^)

[@drewstudlino5885]

does all this information sound familiar, it's the story of the fallen and there sharing the forbidden knowledge..

[@peterkallend5012]

It turns out you don't have to go back in time to find people who aren't impressed with your smartphone. I, for one, am definitely not impressed.

[@rickhunter1454]

You should be, it’s really a very very impressive device.

[@randymakin477]

I too am not impressed with said smart phone

[@raraujo4951]
