Professor Marc Frincu is an authority in distributed systems, big data, smart grids, astronomy, and archaeoastronomy. Marc is also the secretary of the European Society for Astronomy in Culture and vice-president of the Romanian Society of Cultural Astronomy.

In this episode Marc guides us deep into the Armenian Highlands and relives his extraordinary discoveries of Bronze Age astronomical devices. He discusses the functionality of mysterious spiral and cup-shaped petroglyphs, and delineates crumbling stone structures with starburst alignments to surrounding burial sites and mountaintops.

We also dive into Yazidi cosmology, and Mark outlines a north to south Bronze Age meridian line defined by a cone of stones framing the circumpolar stars. And seeking meaning, we discuss ancient perception of the north sky and how it was perhaps associated with notions of mortality, and infinity.
