June 21, the day in which this webinar will be held, marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern hemisphere and gives us the opportunity to discuss a solar phenomenon which has been occuring every June 21 for 4500 years at Giza, Egypt, at sunset. We will take this as example to discuss the relevance of a relatively new scientific discipline: Archaeoastronomy.

The interpretation of masterpieces of ancient architecture around the world, from the Pantheon in Rome to Stonehenge, from the Maya temples to the Forbidden City in Beijing, gives us important tools to their valorization and fruition. Furthermore, the knowledge and competences acquired through Archaeoastronomy can guide us towards a more sustainable development in presence of Cultural Heritage.
