Ancient Astronomical Devices: Secrets, Scandals, and SacrificesSpeaker: Eric Lingerfelt, Nuclear Astrophysicist &amp; Software EngineerThroughout the ages, humans have created rather sophisticated ways of tracking the moon, Sun, planets, and stars.

This talk will focus on three methods for ancient modeling of the sky. We will start our journey with a place visited by the speaker, the 600-year-old Prague Astronomical Clock. Going further back in time, we will discuss the mysteries of the Peruvian Chichen Itza observatory, El Caracol.
