As Above, So Below

Before the rise of civilisation, before history began.. Prehistoric man's fascination for the stars above, ticking time eternal.. dance of Gods.. Early man's true genius and fascination expressed in ancient monuments and myth throughout the world..
Since modern computer programmes are able to unveil the skies of the past, we are beginning to explore the incredible extent to which ancient man was fascinated by the cosmos above..

'As Above, So Below' looks at ancient cultures around the world and how they related the sky to the ground, often in monumental fashion. The documentary visits many countries, including Ireland, where the Stone Age structures of the Boyne Valley take centre stage. Oostra takes us to far-flung locations across the globe, including Malta, China, Sri Lanka, France, Ireland, South America and the USA, and a common thread emerges - that in prehistory, a sacred cosmic union was formed which joined heaven and earth.
