Hamlet's Mill: An Essay Investigating the Origins of Human Knowledge And Its Transmission Through Myth

This book delves into the intersection of science and mythology, proposing a groundbreaking idea: that all myths share a common origin rooted in celestial cosmology. Instead of viewing myths as mere folklore, the authors suggest they are a symbolic language encoding complex astronomical knowledge. By analyzing scientific data alongside historical and literary sources, they argue that myths are remnants of a sophisticated preliterate astronomy system, which was later suppressed and forgotten by the Greco-Roman worldview. Challenging traditional Western scientific assumptions, this thought-provoking thesis sheds new light on the development and transmission of knowledge. It's a must-read for anyone intrigued by the connections between science and myth.
