Read an account of desert travel requiring navigation.
A sextant is used, just like those used on boats crossing oceans.
It is an art.
Once saw a lamp with a sextant. Regret not buying it.

Just looked for a sextant lamp. Nope. None were "just right".

Fascinating life. Thanks for posting the article

I looked up the BBC series mentioned in the article and see that it might be available through MGM+ (formerly Epix).

Looks like there's a free 7 day trial for MGM+.
