Abstract
Archaeoastronomy is the study of astronomical ideas and their evolution over time. India has one of the richest
heritage of ancient monuments and documents that detail how human perspective has changed over the millennia.
Looking at these ancient remains it is possible to decipher the relative evolution of ideas and cross cultural influences. Here we present some
of these patterns that are discernible. However, absolute dating of ancient monuments that are more than 2 or 3 millennia old is not easy.
We therefore suggest that there is a need for scientific instruments to carbon date these monuments in order to understand the chronology
of evolution of scientific ideas.
