Cosmic Africa

"In a journey that stretched from Namibia to the coastline and steamy jungles of Ghana, across the crocodile-infested lakes and deserts of Northern Kenya, the cliffside dwellings of the Dogon in Mali, and on to the mysterious archaeological sites of the Egyptian Sahara, the recently launched film Cosmic Africa explores Africa's ancient astronomical history.

"Cosmic Africa , a co-production between Cosmos Studios, Aland Pictures and Anne Rogers, is a feature-length documentary film that both explores and sheds new light on traditional African astronomy and, in turn, global understanding of the world's oldest science. Cosmic Africa is directed and filmed by the award-winning duo Craig and Damon Foster.

"In developing the film, the team's celestial quest put them in touch with chiefs, calendar specialists, diviners, healers, storytellers, nomads, shamans, sky lore experts, archaeologists, linguists and anthropologists from six different countries."

I saw Cosmic Africa on November 2003, just before a lunar eclipse, and in the midst of the Harmonic Concordance, so I can't help but recommend it.
