As good weather returns, the Sun shows its best face — and it changes almost daily. Sunspots, active regions, granulation and flares constantly evolve. With upcoming eclipses over Extremadura, we launch The Sun in History: #archaeoastronomy and #ethnoastronomy alongside #astrophotography.

a hiaku / phaiku overlaying the lighted imaged of a dagger falling across a spiral petroglyh, o.e., the Sun Dagger of Fajada Butte, Cahaco Canoyon, New Mexico. The phaikku reads: Sun Dagger / Phaiku No. 21 / watching it mattered. / the wall. the stone. it mattered. / light made its place known.

Learn about what lead to this philosophical haiku (phaiku). There's so much more to the story. The Star Archive series continues with "The Crab's Claim: Evidence After Attention"

“Stop and hear. The sky is speaking.”
Some listened long enough to turn wonder into evidence.

🧵16/ I happily guided our 2nd, successful French #JapanTravel #archaeoastronomy tour with Deïmian 🥳 We now plan a 3rd with new spots for repeaters… #Japan must go from mass tourism to unique strengths & cross-prefecture collaboration to charm diverse special interest groups. Follow me to learn more!

🧵15/ Between #archaeoastronomy spots, our group enjoyed free time or meaningful guiding: Himeji castle and Imperial Palace grounds both related to Ishi-no-hoden… In our next #JapanTravel #HistoryTour, I want to include a 100m-high view of 486m-long Daisenryo Kofun by air balloon launched last month.

The Octopus Stone dwarfs Deïmian!

🧵14/ Most tourists in #Osaka overlook the 12x6m 120t Octopus Stone quarried 100km away in Okayama. However, #archaeoastronomy enthusiasts scrutinize its granite and get photographed with it! You may also discover it during a #HistoryTour of Osaka Castle, built in 1583 and used until WW2 🏯

Me in front of Ishi-no-hoden. The rope visible on the left marks it as a Shinto holy monolith.

Feeling & acquiring the energy of Ishi-no-hoden.

Ishi-no-hoden from above, with the narrow path surrounding it, Oshiko shrine left, and Tatsuyama Stone Quarries in the background.

🧵13/ Gods' unfinished palace? 7x6x6m 450t Ishi-no-hoden Floating Rock in #Takasago is 1 of 3 #Japan mysterious wonders. #Archaeoastronomy travellers reported heat, tingling… 1,700+ y.o. national historic site with Tatsuyama Stone Quarries used to build the Imperial Palace, Parliament, Himeji castle…

Group beside Masuda Iwafune megalith, surrounded by tall bamboo trees, with little sky visible.

🧵12/ The mysterious Masuda Iwafune megalith feels timeless & peaceful! 2023 tour members even meditated here 🧘‍♀️ Due to scarce info even in Japanese, this 11x8x5m 800t stone in #Kashihara is perfect for #archaeoastronomy tours 🪨 In a hilltop bamboo grove after uneven earthy steps, it is truly special!

Ishibutai, surrounded by red autumn leaves.

Group members scrutinizing Ishibutai.

Japanese kids on a school trip entering the burial chamber.

🧵11/ Japan's largest megalithic structure, tomb mentioned (?) in 1,300 y.o. Nihon Shoki, Ishibutai fascinates. Our #archaeoastronomy group scrutinized it, schoolkids on a #HistoryTour accompanied us in the burial chamber… Another must-touch in #Asuka! Ethereal with autumn leaves or cherry blossoms 🧚

With Macrobiotic Gohan Café Meguru staff.

Carrot tempura. The young orange core is wrapped in its leaves.

Main plate.

Sweet potato tart.

Asucome Macrobiotic Gohan Café Meguru's owners prepared our lunch with love from newly harvested rice and vegetables picked hours ago at their organic farm. Almost art: delicate carrot tempura. Even their sweet potato tart was homemade. In Asuka near #Archaeoastronomy sites. #VeganJapan #VeganAsuka

Souvenirs just a few cm high, representing diverse ancient pottery: animals, people, etc.

🧵10/ Unexpectedly, members of our #Archaeoastronomy #HistoryTour group bought many many small souvenirs in #Asuka to decorate their Christmas trees 🎄 They are indeed cute 🙂 #JapanTravel

Group members spread around Sakafune-ishi stonework, touching its granite, with bamboo trees in the background.

🧵8/ Sakafune-ishi stonework remains mysterious: did ancient Japanese fill it with water/alcohol to reflect & study stars, create medicine, …? In a hilltop bamboo grove of Asuka village, its carved granite feels surreal ✨ #Archaeoastronomy enthusiasts and empaths I guided told me it's a must-touch!

Deïmian (left) holding the book, with Tokuda-san (centre) and Kobayashi-san (right).

Tokuda-san & Kobayashi-san’s new book.

🧵5/ At Kanayama Megaliths, a local journalist interviewed us (maybe the only tour without Japanese visitors for years!), and Deïmian bought Tokuda-san & Kobayashi-san’s new #archaeoastronomy signed book in English/Japanese. Fun fact: I’m on 1+ photo of the book (as 2023 #HistoryTour guide here).

🧵1/ Guiding an exciting 12-day #archaeoastronomy tour in the Japanese countryside for a special interest group: 11 French & Belgian travellers who explored ancient civilizations in Egypt, Mexico, Peru… and extend their deep world journey led by Deïmian. #HistoryTour #JapanTravel

The Ancient Mathematicians of the Sky: How the Maya Predicted Solar Eclipses with Centuries of Precision New research reveals how Mayan astronomers transformed lunar calendars into long-term eclipse forecasting systems—bridging divination and scientific observation.

New research reveals how Maya astronomers used overlapping lunar tables to predict solar eclipses for 700 years, blending ritual calendars with mathematical precision. #Archaeoastronomy #MayaCivilization #HistoryOfScience #Anthropology www.anthropology.net/p/the-ancien...
