In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Antonio César González-Garcia, the President of the European Society for Astronomy in Culture (SEAC) since 2017, a renowned Astrophysicist and Archaeoastronomer whose groundbreaking research bridges the cosmos and culture. With a PhD in Astrophysics from Groningen and extensive fieldwork across Europe, the Near East, and Anatolia, Dr. González-Garcia has dedicated his career to uncovering the celestial connections behind ancient structures. Together, we delve into the archaeoastronomy of Jordan's oldest astronomical architecture, unraveling its influence on the monumental landscapes that culminated in the creation of the iconic Petra Treasury. Exploring both functional and sacred orientations to examining the interplay between religion and architectural planning, this conversation sheds light on the cosmic significance encoded in some of humanity's most awe-inspiring archaeological sites.
