Abstract
Our documenting of the night sky throughout history is not bound to wording and artwork, as many other forms of historical records exist and potentially more ways to record may come to light as we re-visit and re-examine certain structures and archaeological finds whose true definition and original meaning may have been misinterpreted. Nature has many ways of preserving the past and, in so doing, helps us recall events of the past.
