Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on an extraordinary journey through the ancient world, exploring the fascinating link between early civilizations' understanding of time and their religious beliefs. The author delves into the intricate systems of year measurement employed by ancient societies, revealing how these methods, based on the movements of constellations like the Great Bear and Orion, shaped their mythology and rituals. The book examines how the constellations were viewed as divine entities, embodying the forces of creation, destruction, and rebirth. For example, the Great Bear, depending on the time period and location, was interpreted as a bow and arrow, a bed or waggon, a set of pigs, or the thigh stars of a divine rider. These diverse interpretations reveal a complex web of beliefs and how they were woven into the fabric of ancient societies' lives. The author skillfully navigates through a wealth of historical and mythological sources, including the Rigveda, the Shah-namah, and the Seven Tablets of Creation, to provide a rich tapestry of cultural insight. This book offers a unique perspective on the evolution of religious thought, highlighting how the measurement of time was not merely a practical concern, but a cornerstone of ancient societies' spiritual understanding of the cosmos.
