Reply to comment by risingstanding in How much has our view of the Moon changed throughout human history? When I look up am I seeing the Moon as it appeared, more or less, to William the Conquerer? Caesar? King Tut? by ayebrade69

One time I looked up at the moon and I swear it looked like I was in a dark container and there was a tiny hole to a bright light. Made me wonder what other things people perceived or stories they came up with!

I once saw an image depicting different cultures' perspectives on the heavenly bodies that would've answered you wonderfully. One was that the sun, moon, and stars were big balls moving around a planar Earth... another that the sky was a dome and they were little holes cut out to reveal the infinite fire beyond.
