Mythology The Mirror Of Prehistoric Sociology

Mythology: The Mirror of Prehistoric Sociology is a book written by Gerald Massey that explores the relationship between mythology and prehistoric society. Massey argues that mythology is a reflection of the social and cultural values of the people who created it, and that by studying myths, we can gain insight into the beliefs and practices of ancient societies.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of mythology and its relationship to prehistoric society. Massey begins by examining the origins of mythology and its role in early human societies, arguing that myths served as a way for people to make sense of the world around them and to understand their place in it.He then goes on to explore the various themes and motifs that are common in mythology, such as the hero's journey, the creation of the world, and the struggle between good and evil. Massey argues that these themes reflect the social and cultural values of the societies that created them, and that by studying them, we can gain insight into the beliefs and practices of those societies.Throughout the book, Massey draws on examples from a wide range of cultures and time periods, including ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, as well as Native American and African mythologies. He also draws on the work of other scholars in the field, such as Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, to support his arguments.Overall, Mythology: The Mirror of Prehistoric Sociology is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between mythology and prehistoric society. It offers a unique perspective on the role that myths have played in shaping human culture and provides valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of ancient societies.THIS 104 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Natural Genesis Part 1 or the Second Part of a Book of the Beginnings, by Gerald Massey.
