Hamlet's Mill

An Essay Investigating the Origins of Human Knowledge and Its Transmissions Through Myth

Beschreibung

A work of scientific and philosophical inquiry, in which, the authors track world myths to a common origin in early man's descriptions of cosmological activity, arguing that these remnants of ancient astronomy, suppressed by the Greeks and Romans and then forgotten, were really a form of pre-literate science.
