I did the first year of an archaeology course about 20 years ago. One thing that's stuck with me is a professor telling us how it's really important not to think of ancient people as "primitive" just because they lived a long time ago. I feel like this is a perfect example of why.

There was a solar eclipse, and the leaders of the Seneca Nation were convinced to join the new confederacy. (Later on a 6th nation joined them) Sometimes an eclipse isn't a portent of doom.

You warn people about needing special glasses to look at the eclipse. However, you need to explain why making your own dark lens is dangerous. Many people think that if they stack dark filters together, it is then safe enough. The problem is that these may or may not block the non-visible light that does the actual damage. Filters that are certified for eclipse observation have been tested to verify that it blocks the ultraviolet and infrared appropriately. You should warn people that making your own filter, even though it may look dark enough, may be extremely dangerous. These lenses make your eyes dilate to let in more light, including more of that dangerous light that didn’t get filtered.

Not necessarily. Ancient astronomers could track the patterns of the movements of the sun and moon and planets while assuming that they all orbited around the Earth. The ancient Greeks developed elaborate models of the motions of the heavenly bodies around the Earth. But they would have to understand that when heavenly bodies set below the horizon, they would continue to move around the other side of the Earth. I. e. that the Earth was a sphere with another "side". The idea that the Earth was not stationary but orbited around the sun began to be accepted among scientists starting around 1500 AD and finally explained by Newton's Law of Gravity around 1700. It's still highly counter-intuitive, and goes against what our ordinary senses tell us.

I’m Anishinaabe and we have lots of stories about solar eclipses as well as the Haudenosaunee people. Thousands of years old. Maybe not recorded evidence of the astronomical math on tablets but creation stories and star knowledge that has been passed down since time immemorial. Laurie Rousseau Nepton is an Inuit astronomer, that’s a good place to start!

It's interesting that the length of the lunar month was mentioned, since it matches the length of the Jewish month. Months in the Hebrew calendar are lunar, with 29 or 30 days, while the year is solar, matching the agricultural cycle in Israel. In fact, before the Romans colonised Israel and re-named it "palestine" after the Hebrew word for "invaders" (pelishtim), the year only officially began when the barley ripened in the fields.

Alas, I won't be able to make it to the 2024 North American solar eclipse, which really sucks because I was actually born in the shadow of the moon on May 10, 1994 and really wanted to see it.

The Babylonians practised astrology, not astronomy. I know modern science and astronomy is SUPER sensitive about the existence of astrology, but white-washing history of the entire reason Babylonians studied eclipses is a major disservice to history and culture. People weren't pursuing science in the ancient world in the way modern astronomers did, out of just simple curiosity, but to understand from this viewpoint the cosmic underpinnings of a very spiritual world they believed they lived in. It it impressive scientifically? Sure, but... this episode seemed to pretend they did it out of love for science-- which is patently untrue. To simply ignore the 'why' is bizarre, and this is one episode I find to be verging on revisionism of history instead of truth. Long time viewer lending his opinion as an ancient historian.

I don't get it, why would I need some protective eyewear to look at it. There's going to a large chunk of planet in the way, which along with blocking my view of the eclipse, I'm sure will also block my view of the light. Or is the protective eyewear sufficiently out of phase with the planet, that I'll be able to see the eclipse, whilst also not being harmed by the sun (being "a deadly laser").

During total eclipse you DON'T need protection. But even a little bit away from totality is dangerous-more so than even looking at the sun normally is. Your pupils contract when there's too much visible light, but if most of the visible light is blocked out they don't contract sufficiently, and enough UV still gets through to do damage

It doesn't block enough light to not hurt you.

I’m supremely confident that the humans that built Stonehenge could also predict eclipses. If they could ‘time’ the movement of the sun and the moon, it makes sense they could map eclipses as well. Same goes for native Americans, who knew earth wasn’t the center of the universe thousands of years before Kepler, Galileo, or Copernicus. Of course, this is all conjecture since neither civilization left this knowledge written down. But it is extremely likely.
