Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the hidden connections between ancient mythology and the origins of civilization. The author delves into the myths and legends of various cultures, demonstrating how they often serve as coded records of historical events and religious beliefs. The book's central argument rests on the idea that a single, powerful family, the descendants of Chus, spread throughout the world, leaving behind traces of their beliefs and practices in the form of mythology. The author contends that the myths about heroes, gods, and sacred animals are not merely fanciful tales but rather symbolic representations of real historical figures and events. By analyzing the etymology of names, places, and deities, the author reveals a consistent pattern of shared beliefs and practices that span across cultures and continents. The book offers a compelling argument for the interconnectedness of ancient civilizations, showcasing how mythology serves as a key to understanding their history and religious beliefs.
