1) Archaeology is the name given to one of the sciences through which people can find out about their past. It derives from two Greek words which mean "the study of old things". Through archaeology it is possible to learn about human beings who lived before any history was written to tell us about them. An archaeologist looks at the things these people made and left behind them, and tries to understand from them what the people were like and how they lived.
Many archaeological discoveries are made by digging up the ground in places where people are believed to have lived. The remains of their cities are nearly always below the ground, because when one city was destroyed a new one was often built on top of it, burying the old one underneath. Gradually layers of soil and rubbish were piled up over the old remains.
Prehistoric archaeology is the study of human beings before history began to be written. It is carried out by very careful excavation (digging). There may also be traces of the activities of prehistoric people visible on the ground, such as earthworks and the marks of filled-in holes. Something may also be learned from objects such as flint tools picked up from the surface.

2) As far back as 1100 BC, Mesopotamian astronomers drew constellations, or formations of stars observed to form shapes. Some of today's constellation names date
back to that time. Mesopotamian and Babylonian cultures mapped the motion of the
planets across the sky by observing how they moved against the background of stars.
Until the century, most people (including early astronomers) considered Earth to be
at the center of the universe. Greek philosopher, Aristotle, proposed cosmology in about
350 BC that held for thousands of years. Aristotle theorized that the Sun, the Moon, and
the planets all revolved around Earth on a set of celestial spheres. These celestial spheres were made of the quintessence- perfect, unchanging, transparent element. According to Aristotle, the outermost sphere was
made of the stars, which appear to be fixed in position. Early astronomers called the stars "fixed stars" to
differentiate between stars and planets. The spheres inside the sphere of the fixed stars held the planets,
which astronomers called the "wandering stars." The Sun and Moon occupied the two innermost spheres.
