THE BEST DOCUMENTARY ON ANCESTRAL ASTRONOMY AND THE EQUATORIAL LINE
EQUATOR A NEW WORLD VIEW
“The equator is literally the source of all life. It is Eden where we and all other creatures began.”
This documentary shows us the best compilation of ethno-astronomical discoveries about the solar culture in Ecuador, and its great importance in the culture of the first civilizations.
Recognized as the best documentary on astronomy, the equatorial region is the most biodiverse area on Earth and the only one where creatures do not become extinct. It is a land where the days never vary, where there are no seasons and where, twice a year, there are no shadows.
WHAT IS QUITSATO?
It constitutes a large Sun clock 52 meters in diameter, made with a large stone mosaic that indicates the different lines of the solstices and equinoxes, as well as the hours of the day, these are marked by the projection of the shadow of a large 10-meter-high pole that stands exactly in the center of this large circular platform.
ZERO LATITUDE
MY EQUATORIAL ADVENTURE
This has been an indescribable adventure, in which I was able to discover and understand alignments, astronomical relationships and light effects; that our ancestors of the region worshiped centuries ago. By Cristóbal Cobo Arízaga Director of the Quitsato Project.
How important is it to know each other through Ancestral Astronomy?
A NEW PERSPECTIVE
Cristóbal Cobo has been crossed by the equinoctial line since he can remember. He has spent several decades researching the astronomy, history, archeology, and geography of his native region. In this episode he talks to us about ancestral astronomy, offers us a different perspective on how to orient ourselves in the world, analyzes the agricultural calendar and tells us about his relationship and that of our ancestors with the mountains and the celestial vault.
Is the Archaeological History of Ecuador at risk of disappearing?
THE CATEQUILLA IN CRITICAL CONDITION
The most important archaeological site for the astronomical history of Ecuador “El Catequilla” located in “San Antonio de Pichincha” is seriously affected by the destruction carried out by the carelessness of the authorities. In this report made by Teleamazonas, he details various aspects that have led to the destruction of one of the greatest treasures in the country’s archaeological history.
