19 Dec
Conference at the Ateneo de Maó on the archaeoastronomical phenomenon of the hierophany of So na Caçana. By the archaeologists Irene Riudavets and Cristina Bravo.
During the winter solstice, the sun's rays enter the west taula enclosure through a small window and illuminate a special place inside the building where the figures of the divinities were located. For the Menorcans of the Talayotic period, this would represent a hierophany. In other words, the sun was one of the main divinities in the Talayotic pantheon and the penetration of its rays inside the table enclosure represented a manifestation of this divine entity.
