ZH_2_11 — Southeast Asian Astronomy: Thai, Burmese, Khmer, and Indonesian Traditions
The astronomical traditions of Southeast Asia — Thailand (Siam), Myanmar (Burma), Cambodia (Khmer), Java, Bali, and the wider Malay-Indonesian archipelago — represent a distinctive synthesis of Indian, indigenous, and (i
ZH_1_16 — The Antikythera Mechanism and Greek Astronomical Devices: Precision Gearing in the Ancient World
