Ancient Skies on PBS – Monday 27 – Wednesday 29 June at 7.35PM

Discover the night skies as our ancestors saw them, as three-part series ANCIENT SKIES journeys through past visions of the heavens from across the world to chart our changing views of the cosmos throughout history.

From hunter-gatherers, Babylonians, Mayans to Edwin Powell Hubble, discover the different ways that we have observed and chronicled the movements of the heavens, and the science behind the phenomena that our ancestors sought to explain through mythology.

From the dawn of civilisation to the recent past, historians, international experts, astronomers, along with cutting-edge CGI, beautiful landscape footage and important astronomical artefacts, demonstrate our ever-evolving understanding of our universe and our place in the cosmos.
