Synopsis

Explore how ancient and medieval thinkers framed the origins of the universe—and how modern science shifted that view. This insightful survey traces early ideas about creation, celestial bodies, and the shape of the Earth, showing how science evolved from myth to measured theory. The book gathers perspectives across civilizations, from Babylonian astronomy to Egyptian calendars, and from Swedenborg’s visions to the first modern discoveries.
