Prehistoric Origin of the Zodiac? | Hugh Evans

Hugh Evans walks us across two thousand square miles of North Wales where the zodiac lives in the land itself, constellations pressed into mountains and rivers and place names older than Babylon ever dreamed of writing down. Before Ptolemy standardized the sky for empire, before Mesopotamia carved its tablets, someone in Gwynedd, Wales looked up and then etched the traces of the heavens into the Earth. Hugh helps us trace the thread of early celestial awareness from Göbekli Tepe to Northern Wales, by way of the tin routes of the Bronze Age, and the star that's missing from the Pleiades.
