being the dark areas of the milky way because the night sky is so spectacular at that altitude and elevation.

The other thing that struck me were the representations of those constellations on the hillside in terrance format.
They were obviously there on purpose. and I could see the animals in the hillside

The video got me thinking about the stone monoliths and their motifs at Gobekli Tepe. Could those not be constellations and not just some animal worship?

The rest of his stuff on interchange was speculative
but the Incan mythology was accurate as was his interpretations of their conceptions of time.

I wonder what Joseph Campbell would think of it?
