""Ancient Astronomy, Modern Science, and Sacred Cosmology"" is a book written by John Wood in 1882. The book explores the connection between ancient astronomy and modern science, as well as the role of sacred cosmology in shaping our understanding of the universe. Wood delves into the history of astronomy, discussing the contributions of ancient civilizations such as the Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks.
