RE: The Fall Equinox 🍂
And here I was thinking I might be the only one who knew this fancy term! 😄 I know you’re super interested in these celestial and astronomical events. We still have to observe the sky through your binoculars!
pyaramids are aligned to true north. Stonehenge is aligned with solstices
It takes me by awe every single time I think about it or come across this information. We human beings are truly amazing. I mean, just look at what they were able to understand and accomplish... It’s incredible to think how deeply aware they were of the world around them and passed down.
We think we’re so advanced today, but sometimes I feel like they had a much deeper awareness of the world around them.
I suppose that depends on whom you're speaking of when you say 'they'.
'They' = every day people who had to work on the fields?
'They' = priests and astronomers and the like?
Astronomical occurrences were linked to myths and imaginations of gods, I think.
Thus, the change from days getting longer to days getting shorter was something powerful, I imagine.
And to find a point in they sky (near a particular star) around which all stars seem to be circling must have been a great discovery.
Yet - the common people were not involved in these things, as far as I know...
In this regard, we ARE.
