The Astronomical Nature Of Mythology

The Astronomical Nature Of Mythology is a book written by Gerald Massey that explores the connection between ancient mythology and astronomy. Massey delves into the origins of mythological tales from various cultures and civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Babylonians, and reveals how they were heavily influenced by celestial events and phenomena.The author argues that many of the characters and stories in mythology are actually representations of the planets, stars, and constellations, and that these tales were used as a way to understand and interpret the movements of the heavens. He also discusses the significance of certain astronomical events, such as eclipses and solstices, and how they were incorporated into mythological narratives.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of mythology and astronomy. Massey uses a combination of historical research, literary analysis, and astronomical knowledge to support his arguments, and provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the connections between myth and the cosmos.Overall, The Astronomical Nature Of Mythology is a fascinating and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of science and mythology, and how ancient cultures used storytelling to make sense of the natural world.THIS 98 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Natural Genesis Part 2 or the Second Part of a Book of the Beginnings, by Gerald Massey.
