THE GILBERTESE SKY DOME
Polynesian and Micronesian
Astronomy







Above, The Gilbertese Sky Dome, based on D. Lewis,
Voyaging stars: aspects of Polynesian and
Micronesian astronomy, Phil. Trans. R. Soc .Lond. A 276
in The Place of Astronomy in the Ancient World, Ed. F. R. Hodson, Oxford University Press, London, 1974, p. 136.)

The same system of orienting to the stars and constellations
as found in the Gilbertese Sky Dome in Polynesian Micronesia,
which was used by the islanders for ocean navigation,
is found on the 
Etruscan Bronze Liver of Piacenza

Astronomy
in the Hermetic Tradition

Interesting is the parallel of Etruscan astronomical belief to that
of the Egyptian Hermetica, alleging that the divisions of the
heavens are reproduced exactly on earth as well - as in the
Pyramid complexes.
