Plot synopsis
This program takes us on a journey through space and time as we study the astronomical beliefs of ancient peoples. People all over the world shared common and unique needs. Orienting themselves by the starry sky made it possible to navigate sea routes, plan agricultural projects, and measure months and years. The constellation patterns, which today seem strange and incomprehensible, actually appeared naturally and understandably. But to understand this, we must try to see the world through the eyes of someone who did not know what those sparkling points in the sky represented. People who lived in a primitive tribe, in the legendary Inca city of Machu Picchu, in the Arabian desert and on the islands of the Aegean Sea, in the Canadian forests and under the Hawaiian sun, tell their constellations.
