World History
Ancient-Skies - Human Cultures and Their Skies allows visitors to learn about the IYA2009 global scientific project.

The relationship between mankind and the sky is as old as mankind itself. Human beings started to recognize and interpret the objects and events in the sky as soon, as they had fulfilled their basic needs.

Knowing this, we created an infrastructure to preserve this global heritage in a web accessible knowledgebase.
