The ancient world has left us many strange buildings, curious structures and bizarre myths which seem to defy rational explanation. But in this series, Oxford historian Allan Chapman sets out to decode them.
In Gods in the Sky, Chapman rediscovers the astronomical origin of religion, and the religious origin of scientific astronomy, in the process decoding the structure of the pyramids, Stonehenge and other ancient structures, as well as explaining the brilliant, heavenly logic behind the complex myths of the ancients.
The fascinating and sumptuous series was filmed in Egypt, Greece, Italy and Britain.
