Astronomy of the Inka Empire - Dr. Steven Gullberg, University of Oklahoma
The Inkas worshipped the Sun, and astronomy was intricately woven into the fabric of their existence and daily life. Dr. Gullberg will present some historical background and then look at the intentional light and shadow effects created in numerous Inka shrines and caves. Photos captured during field research in places such as Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, and Cusco add visual insight into Inka culture and beliefs. Dr. Steven Gullberg is a Professor of Cultural Astronomy at the University of Oklahoma. Program sponsored by St. Louis Astronomical Society and NASA Missouri Space Grant Consortium at Washington University. For virtual viewing option, please e-mail [email protected] for Zoom link.
