The sky of the Talayotic people

The meanings of the skies vary from culture to culture, mostly due to the beliefs of each one. Archaeoastronomy interprets how ancient peoples related to the sky and its phenomena. They were the first to use it to measure time, thus creating the day, the year, and the seasons. They lived adapted and in sync with those natural cycles and used them to their advantage, not only facilitating their lives but their cultural development. Menorca has an impressive legacy of this type of site, most of which are ideal for astronomical observation, which without exaggeration is unique in the world. Menorca has an exceptional history and a prehistory unique in the world, and in this activity, we will take you on a journey through time, visiting some of the Talayotic settlements, followed by a complete astronomical sighting in some of the darkest and most suitable places for them.
