Paperback. Condition: New. A truly seminal and original thesis, this is a book that should be read by anyone interested in science, myth, and the interactions between the two. In this classic work of scientific and philosophical inquiry, the authors track world myths to a common origin in early man's descriptions of cosmological activity, arguing that these remnants of ancient astronomy, suppressed by the Greeks and Romans and then forgotten, were really a form of pre-literate science. Myth became the synapse by which science was transmitted. Their truly original thesis challenges basic assumptions of Western science and theories about the transmission of knowledge.

Trade Paperback. A new copy. "A book wonderful to read and startling to contemplate.both the history of science and the reinterpretation of myths have been enriched immensely."--Washington Post A seminal work of scientific and philosophical exploration. Ever since the Greeks coined the language we commonly use for scientific description, mythology and science have developed separately. But what if we could prove that all myths have one common origin in a celestial cosmology? What if the gods, the places they lived, and what they did are but ciphers for celestial activity, a language for the perpetuation of complex astronomical data? Drawing on scientific data, historical and literary sources, the authors argue that our myths are the remains of a preliterate astronomy, an exacting science whose power and accuracy were suppressed and then forgotten by an emergent Greco-Roman world view. This fascinating book throws into doubt assumptions of Western science about the unfolding development and transmission of knowledge. This is a truly seminal and original thesis, a book that should be read by anyone interested in science, myth, and the interactions between the two.

"Ensayo ya clásico sobre las complejas y fascinantes relaciones entre pensamiento científico y mitológico. Con un pensamiento agudo y original, Hertha von Dechend y Giorgio di Santillana argumentan que de manera previa a la escisión racionalista entre mito y ciencia ambos comparten un origen común derivado de la comprensión astrológica de culturas antiguas. A partir de datos científicos, históricos y fuentes literarias, los autores consideran que nuestros mitos provienen de un pensamiento preliterario, poniendo en duda nuestras más arraigadas creencias sobre la acumulación y transmisión de uno de los bienes más preciados de la humanidad durante los últimos siglos: el conocimiento científico."
