Bonjour François, I gave a similar presentation at the NASS Conference in Banff August 2002 entitled "Shadow vs. Horizon Archaeoastronomy". In this presentation I develop the idea that civilization started with seasonal markers, the astronomical alignments of monuments. I discuss historical ages in astronomy, horizon archaeoastronomy, winter solstice, equinox phenomenon, heliacal rising and Medicine Wheels.
I would be happy to send you and others the 31 slides as a 528 kb pdf or 4.23 MB PowerPoint ppt file. The files are large because of the pictures and a simple animation of the Kukulcan equinox sunset shadow phenomenon. Your request comes at a good time, as the Winter Solstice approaches.
