Lunar Cycles
""Lunar Cycles"" explores the pivotal role of the moon in shaping ancient civilizations. From Mesopotamia to Egypt and China, the moon wasn't just a celestial body; it was a fundamental tool for timekeeping, agriculture, and religious practices. Ancient societies ingeniously used lunar cycles to create calendars, plan harvests, and structure their social lives. Intriguingly, the consistent phases of the moon provided a reliable framework for predicting seasonal changes, and some cultures even believed lunar phases directly influenced crop yields. The book examines lunar calendars and their impact on agriculture and religious ceremonies. It details how lunar cycles influenced ancient farmers' planting and harvesting decisions and how different cultures incorporated the moon into their mythology and worship. Through historical and archaeological evidence, ""Lunar Cycles"" argues that the moon was an active agent in human development, connecting history, astronomy, and anthropology to provide a holistic understanding. Starting with an introduction to lunar cycles, the book progresses through the development of lunar calendars, the moon's influence on agriculture, and its role in religious practices, culminating in a discussion of its enduring legacy.

Observations of the sun, moon, planets, and stars played a central role in ancient Maya lifeways, as they do today among contemporary Maya who maintain the traditional ways. This pathfinding book reconstructs ancient Maya astronomy and cosmology through the astronomical information encoded in Precolumbian Maya art and confirmed by the current practices of living Maya peoples. Susan Milbrath opens the book with a discussion of modern Maya beliefs about astronomy, along with essential information on naked-eye observation. She devotes subsequent chapters to Precolumbian astronomical imagery, which she traces back through time, starting from the Colonial and Postclassic eras. She delves into many aspects of the Maya astronomical images, including the major astronomical gods and their associated glyphs, astronomical almanacs in the Maya codices [painted books], and changes in the imagery of the heavens over time. This investigation yields new data and a new synthesis of information about the specific astronomical events and cycles recorded in Maya art and architecture. Indeed, it constitutes the first major study of the relationship between art and astronomy in ancient Maya culture.
