Research guide — a navigational companion

Research guide: people, places and sky

This guide does not claim to settle ancient history. It maps recurring subjects as they appear across the research project — linking each name, place and sky-term to the specific readings that discuss it. For interpretation, evidence and provenance, use the source links inside each article reader.

How to use this page: browse the three groups below. Each card offers a short navigational note and one or more links into existing project writings. Consult the linked article and its cited sources for provenance.

People & figures

Recurring names encountered across the research project. Each entry points to writings that discuss the figure as it appears in the source readings — not as a standalone biographical authority.

Places & traditions

Sites and cultural traditions referenced throughout the project. Follow each entry to the related readings rather than treating it as a definitive gazetteer.

Celestial language

Terms the project uses to discuss sky, time and remembered events. These entries collect the readings where each term recurs and how the research frames it.
