If even burials followed cardinal directions, someone in that society understood **astronomical surveying**.
Who were they?
Priests?
City planners?
Ritual specialists?
Sometimes archaeology whispers quietly.
A skeleton in the ground…
and suddenly the sky of 2300 BCE is looking back at us.
Book number 4 of the #2023ReadingList is a #GraphicBook The People of the Indus, by Nikhil Gulati and Jonathan Mark Kenoyer.
This was recommended to me by members of @poongabook
Short work, very interesting. Nicely presented. I liked it a lot. Highly recommended. I read the #kindle version in an iPad with the nice interactive zoom functions. I'm actually gifting hardcover copies to a couple of friends. #history #IndusCivilisation #archeology #Bookstodon #books #reading #ScanmanRecommends
