Culture & the Cosmos

The purpose of this research database is to preserve ancestral cultural teachings by compiling and analyzing anthropological and astronomical data pursuant to ancestral cultural heritage, knowledge and wisdom reflected in cosmogonic creation stories and other myths. Ethnographic and archaeological data inform how ancestral societies organized in emulation of astral and planetary cycles. Emulation of the stars can be observed in the structure of ancestral cultures and in the highest achievements of humankind. It is imperative that ancestral and traditional star wisdom is preserved and shared for all humanity to learn about its place in the cosmos.
