    #21 - Dr. Allard Mees. Magdalenenberg: Germany's Ancient Mega Mound

    You are about to explore the intersection of ancient astronomy and prehistoric engineering, at Germany's Magdalenenberg mega mound. Joining us is Dr. Allard Mees, an archaeologist and head of the scientific IT department at the Leibniz institute of archaeology in Mainz, Germany. Allard takes us on an extraordinary journey through, around and above the archaeology of this massive ancient superstructure, unveiling its role as a sophisticated tool of archaeoastronomy for charting the movements of the sun, moon, and stars. Describing the Antikythera mechanism as a "Black Forest cuckoo clock" Allard reveals how both this device and the ancient mound marked the changing seasons, shaped cultural practices, and orchestrated ritual activities, offering profound insights into the ingenuity of its creators.
