The Nebra Sky Disc maps the stars in a way that suggests ancient people were deeply connected to celestial patterns. In today’s world, this is like early #datavisualization —humanity’s first attempt at interpreting and recording complex #data about the cosmos. #AncientAstronomy 🇨🇦❤️
I hope you had a great #Solstice yesterday!
The Nebra Sky Disk is considered to be the oldest known depiction of cosmic phenomena, dating back to ca. 1600 BC.
On display at Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte in Halle.
