You can't beat a proper 'dark sky' to see what the Ancients must have been looking at in the time before urban light pollution.
Stunning.

I often wonder how the ancients were able to understand the night sky so well, but then I realised: -
No light polution
Lots of time (no evening entertainment like the telly or YouTube etc)
Enquiring minds with little distractions
I did a dark sky evening a few years ago in the desert of southern Israel. An excellent guide using a simple portable telespcope showed us all the planets and moons very clearly. Wish the kids were as excited as I was.... They were just cold.
