Knowing the methods and practices of ancient astronomy clarifies any and all doubts about how astronomical knowledge in those cultures was scientific, rigorous, and far from mysterious. This astronomy is based on its own mathematical and geometric principles, which allow for the connection of cycles in space and time, of the sky and the earth. It is an astronomical system that describes the chain of planetary movements of the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun, based on patterns similar to the forms of natural life on Earth's surface, observed across multiple dimensions and phenomena.

Earth's Spacetime in Ancestral Astronomy

Our clock is one such example, corresponding to a solar day—the complete cycle of Earth's rotation. The best way to understand the concept of Earth's spacetime is through the structure of the clock. It is the instrument that relates the two coordinates of Time and Space, common in astronomy and in daily life on Earth. The clock illustrates, step by step, Earth's path through space and time during its rotational movement.

The 1440-Minute Matrix

To read this article in Portu guese, click here. To speak of Ancestral Astronomy, starting from the beginning means starting with the Matrix. It was with great wonder that I understood that the main tool of Ancestral Astronomy practices was a Matrix very similar to our modern clock and the zodiac wheel in astrology. It is a tool perfectly suited for replicating and tracking astronomical events. Despite its similarities to the clock or the zodiac, this Matrix was far more versatile and deeply developed within ancestral astronomical practices.
