Ancient Architecture Astroarchaeological Alignment Explorer

A Three.js instrument for testing how measured architecture, horizon sightlines, solar and lunar events, civic axes, and cosmological spatial orders intersect in ancient monumental buildings.

The model keeps geometry separate from interpretation. Measured bodies are reconstructed on an XYZ plane; alignment overlays can then be toggled, compared, dimmed, rotated, or marked as interpretive. Mesoamerican records include an Ashmore-inspired spatial-cosmology layer with four directions, center, vertical world levels, processional vectors, and civic ordering cues.
