Ancient Observatories

Space Imaging is a site that gives us overhead images of ancient observatories such as Abu Simbel, Egypt; Angkor Wat, Cambodia; Chichen Itza, Mexico; Easter Island, Chile; Stonehenge, England; and more. In addition to photos of the sites and a listing of their latitudes and longitudes, there are short write-ups about each of them. Here's an excerpt from the piece about Chichen Itza: "In a spectacular show of shadow and light, a shadow representing the Feathered Serpent god Kukulkan slides down the northern stairway of Chichen Itza during sunset of the equinoxes and then vanishes."
