Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins of our beliefs and humanity's earliest spiritual concepts and practices. The author, an expert in ancient languages and comparative mythology, draws on linguistic science, archeology, and the study of religions to paint a vivid picture of our prehistoric ancestors' mental and spiritual world. The book places our earliest ancestors within their broader cultural and historical context. It argues that they were savage and unrefined but possessed the potential for great moral and intellectual development, which later gave rise to the world's great civilizations. The author explores the animistic beliefs and nature worship of our ancestors, illuminating the origins of many myths, legends, and superstitions that persist today. It demonstrates how these beliefs evolved over time, influenced by changes in society and the development of language. The book concludes by highlighting the significance of understanding our ancestral beliefs for appreciating the growth of human consciousness and the diversity of religious thought throughout history. It underscores the importance of studying the past to gain a deeper understanding of our present and future.
