9781333873486: The Origin of Ancient Names of Countries, Cities, Individuals, and Gods (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

This book offers a fascinating exploration of the origins of proper names in ancient civilizations. The author argues that many names of places, gods, and even people in Greece, Italy, Asia Minor, Babylon, Egypt, Phoenicia, and Judea are derived from compound words incorporating the names of sun gods. The book delves into the ancient world's understanding of deities, highlighting the shared characteristics and similar names attributed to gods across different cultures. Through meticulous analysis, the author reveals how these seemingly disparate deities can be traced back to common roots, suggesting a shared understanding of the divine across ancient societies. The author further examines the linguistic evolution of names, exploring how vowels and consonants were used and how they might have been subject to change over time. This exploration provides a deeper understanding of the connections between ancient languages and the development of naming conventions. The book's insights challenge conventional interpretations of ancient names, offering a compelling alternative that illuminates the profound significance of sun worship and its influence on ancient culture.
