Who believed to build the first chain of astronomical observatories in the world?
The Mayans had, apparently, been expert astronomers, but the first chain of astronomical observatories would be the Muslims in the 9th century. However, Stonehenge is, apparently according to a concept, an observation centre built by the prehistoric people who inhabited Europe.
Where does most largest observatories usually built?
Most large observatories are typically built in remote locations with minimal light pollution and stable atmospheric conditions, such as mountaintops or isolated desert areas. These sites often provide clear skies and reduced humidity, which are essential for astronomical observations. Additionally, high altitudes help to minimize the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the clarity of astronomical images. Notable examples include the Mauna Kea Observatories in Hawaii and the Atacama Desert observatories in Chile.
Does archaeoastronomy have a synonym?
Astronomical archaeology is a related field that focuses on studying ancient structures for their astronomical relevance, often used interchangeably with archaeoastronomy.
Why are astronomical observatories built way away from towns and cities?
Astronomical observatories are built away from towns and cities to avoid light pollution, which can interfere with observations of celestial objects. Being in remote locations also helps minimize atmospheric disturbances and provides clearer views of the night sky.
Why are astronomical observatories usually located on a mountain top?
The observatories are located in mountains and highlands because those are the highest points on Earth. Scientists can see celestial objects more in focus when the telescopes are closer to the objects, in this case, higher up in elevation.
Is atronomical observatories a noun?
I take that you are asking 'astronomical observatories'. 'Observatory' is a noun, observatories is the plural form. Astronomical is simple a modifier (adjective, in this case.)

One is located in the Village of Hanle, on the peak of a western mountain of the Himalayas. It is now the highest obsevatory in the world.
What is a place called with big telescopes?
It doesn't have to be big telescopes, there does not even have to be a telescope. It is called an observatory because it is a place where astronomical observations are made. Long before the first telescope was made there were observatories.

How big is the Mt Kitt Observatory?
The Mauna Kea Observatories are a group of astronomical observatories, including the W. M. Keck Observatory, Subaru Telescope, and others, located on the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. The 13 telescopes on Mauna Kea range in size from 0.6 to 10.4 meters in diameter.
