Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Across the ancient world, humanity believed that the universe spoke through signs. From the movement of stars and the cries of birds to the rising of storms and the fall of empires, every event was understood as part of a living conversation between heaven and earth. Omens: Real Signs and Prophecies from the Ancient World uncovers the original record of that dialogue - the texts, rituals, and traditions through which the ancients read meaning in the fabric of creation.Drawing on verified historical sources from Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, China, and beyond, this book reveals how early civilisations interpreted natural phenomena, animal behaviour, dreams, and celestial patterns as messages from the divine. It follows the sacred observers of each age: the Babylonian priests who read omens in fire and flight, the Egyptian scribes who recorded dreams and floods, the Roman augurs who traced the paths of birds, and the philosophers who sought the laws of destiny behind the movements of the elements.Within these pages are the original stories of how kings, prophets, and ordinary people turned to omens for guidance in times of peace and crisis. From the warnings of eclipses and earthquakes to the signs surrounding birth, death, and prophecy, Omens restores the forgotten art of listening to the world.Combining authentic documentation with centuries of research, this work traces the evolution of omen lore from temple walls to modern consciousness. It reveals that the same desire to understand meaning in coincidence and pattern continues to shape human thought today.Through fire and water, stars and storms, birds and dreams, the reader is invited to rediscover the ancient truth that all existence speaks - and that every moment, seen clearly, is a message written in the language of the cosmos.
