I don’t understand why so many cultures seemed to have an obsessive need to study the night sky. Once you get past figuring out solstices and equinoxes, what did they gain by putting so much time and effort into studying the stars?


They had no tv to distract them. Man looks for patterns and the sky was the only thing to watch. They weren’t stupid people back then, Some like to think we are so superior and evolved from what they were.
