📝 Description
An essay investigating the origins of human knowledge and its transmission through myth, written by Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend. The book argues that ancient myths are actually sophisticated vehicles for transmitting advanced astronomical data, specifically regarding the precession of the equinoxes. It challenges the idea that ancient peoples were primitive, suggesting instead that a high level of scientific understanding was encoded into the stories passed down through generations.
