#goseck — Public Fediverse posts

Visited the sun observatory in Goseck today, the oldest known one in the world, much older than Stonehenge. As someone who's heavily interested in the technological and otherwise symbolic representation and constitution of experience, I was very impressed and moved. (Also by the icy wind that froze my face off.)

Archaeologists have revealed new insights into the Middle Neolithic circular enclosure of Goseck, a 7,000-year-old structure in Germany that served as a sacred place and an astronomical observatory. They used DNA and isotope analyses to reconstruct the kinship and mobility patterns of the people buried there and found that they belonged to a matrilocal society. #Goseck #Neolithic #Archaeology https://phys.org/news/2023-08-sacred-astronomical-observatory-middle-neolithic.html?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FMind+and+Matter
