LINKS TO WEB SITES OF RELATED INTEREST
This is not an all-inclusive list of web sites that address the
topics
covered in The Sacred Landscape, but it does include
my favourites. I have made a deliberate effort to embrace opinions
from a wide spectrum of academic and occult perspectives. Unless a
page is described as "skeptical" or "debunking." it can be assumed
to promote a positive attitude toward the subject matter it
addresses.
These links are sorted topically.
For geographically-sorted links to pages on sacred
site tourism,

ARCHEOASTRONOMY and ETHNOASTRONOMY
Aboriginal Star Knowledge: Native American Astronomy
The top layer of a quirky but well illustrated introduction to Native
American star-lore and archaeoastronomical observatory sites. (Paula Giese)
America's Stonehenge home page
This is the home page for the controversial New Hampshire site
which its owners claim is a 4,000 year old
archaeoastronomical observatory -- and scholars declare to
be an elaborate hoax. In either case, it makes a pretty nice
roadside attraction. (America's Stonehenge)
Archaeoastronomy, Ethnoastronomy, History of Astronomy
An essential reference site. (Working Group for the History of
Astronomy in the Astronomische Gesellschaft)
The Center for Archaeoastronomy
An academic site on archaeoastronomy which contains a wealth of
information, including online versions of articles from the
"Archaeoastronomy and Ethnoastronomy Newsletter," valuable to the casual and the scholarly reader alike. (John B.
Carlson, David S. P. Dearborn, Tania Ruiz, University of
Maryland)
How the Shaman Stole the Moon
William Calvin's 1991 archaeoastronomy book ("a dozen ways of predicting eclipses --
those paleolithic strategies for winning fame and fortune by
convincing people that you're (ahem) on speaking terms with
whoever runs the heavens") is partially available on the web. (William Calvin, University of Washington)
The Orion Mystery
Robert Bauval's controversial theory that the Pyramids at Giza are positionally correlated to the constellation Orion (Dave Goode and Henry
Ritson)
Symbolic Messengers of Medieval Man
This illustrated online book shows how actual astronomical events were portrayed in the imagery
on late Classic and early Medieval coinage. It will be of
interest to archaeoastronomers and art historians alike because
although the eaxmples are exclusively numismatic, it serves as a model
for thinking about other ways in which astronomical events have
been recorded in seemingly non-"scientific" formats. (Marshall Faintich)

History of Ley Hunting
An in-depth but unillustrated history of Alfred Watkins and his discovery of ley lines (Surrey County Council)
Surrey Earth Mysteries Group
An associatiation of British ley hunters who hold regular meetings, publish a magazine, and organize occasional field trips in Surrey. (Jim
Goddard)

VERNACULAR SACRED SITES
(Note: These links are only to web sites that illustrate and catalogue numerous
vernacular sacred sites. For links to individual sacred sites, sorted
geographically, see my own Web Sites of Interest to Sacred
Site Tourists.)
The
Kooks Museum
A mess of a site, this mish-mash lumps pages on builders
of vernacular sacred sites with pages on conspiracy theorists, race-hate mongers,
schizophrenics, UFO believers, art-car designers, and religious cultists. The
overall tone is glib and condescending, but the archive does
provide photos of quite a few vernacular sacred sites in the
United States. You can safely ignore the purported biographical
details on the lives and motivations of the builders: they are scanty, inaccurate, or even
erroneous. You can also read a letter of protest i wrote to the site
maintainer and her associates regarding their rude and careless treatment of the Watts Towers and Simon Rodia. (Donna Kossy et al)
Roadside Art Online: Environments
This is an extensive site devoted to roadside
art, including signage, ruined buildings, and "environments,"
some of which are vernacular sacred sites. The author is respectful,
eclectic, and a very good photographer. There is
not much text, but MANY stunning pictures here, plus links to other
interesting web sites. This one has my highest recommendation,
(William Swislow)

Alexandria on the Web
A growing set of links to web sites on sacred geometry, sacred architecture, archaeoastronomy, and cosmology, as well as to pages on the Alexandria
Journal, Phanes Press, and the Alexandria Summer Institue courses. (David Fideler)
Archaeology Resources on the Web
A convenient page of annotated archaeology links maintained by the same folks who produce the fabulous megalithic Stone Pages web site. (Paola Arosio
and Diego Meozzi)
Cult Archaeology, Pseudoscience, and Creationism Topics
A meta-link page that leads to further link-pages featuring ancient
astronauts, the lost tribes of Israel, Earth upheavals, and the like. The tone is
disrespectful in the extreme and it is unfortunate that religious groups are treated with the same snide
tone directed toward lunatic pseudo-archaeologists. Still, this is a
good place to start if you want to read work by the skeptical debunkers of Velikovsky, Sitchin, von
Daniken, or Hancock. (Drs. Larry J. Zimmerman and Richard A. Fox, Jr., University of South Dakota Anthropology Department)
Egypt Links
The most complete link-site i have found compiling web pages on Ancient Egypt. (Greg Reeder)
Fringe Archaeology
A strongly skeptical page, "Fringe Archaeology" is bent on debunking hoaxes, but it avoids being
mean-spirited while providing links to genuinely interesting sites on off-beat archaeological topics ranging
from pyramidology and ley lines to Atlantis, crop cicles, and the Shroud of Turin. (P. M. Van Leusen)

Links to more than 200 web sites in the fields of ancient history, archaeoastronomy, astronomy, and fringe-archaeology. (Peter Szabo)
