When you look at the alignment of archaeological monuments, such as stone circles, dolmens and pyramids, in relation to the sun, moon or the stars, we speak of archaeoastronomy. From this perspective, Peter van den Hoek conducts research into locations such as Stonehenge, Avebury, Newgrange, Carnac, Giza and the dolmens of the Netherlands. This often provides him with surprising new insights. In this lecture Peter gives an introduction to archaeoastronomy and offers you a glimpse into his travels along prehistoric monuments.

Participation is free for museum visitors, friends of the Hunebedcentrum and volunteers. As this lecture is free, there is free entry upon presentation of a valid admission ticket to the museum. Registration is therefore not necessary.
