The Ancient World-Wide System: Star Myths of the World, Volume One (Second Edition)

by David Warner Mathisen

Overview

This completely new edition of Star Myths of the World, Volume One, stands as the definitive guide to the ancient world-wide system of celestial metaphor which forms the foundation for the world's ancient myths, scriptures and sacred stories, from virtually every culture on every inhabited continent and island of our planet. Embark on a journey of exploration through the myths of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient India, Ancient China and Japan, and of the cultures of Australia, Africa, the Pacific, and the Americas. You will encounter astonishing connections between the myths, and see how these connections reveal the existence of a vast ancient system which predates even the most ancient cultures and civilizations known to conventional history. And you will learn to listen to the myths in the language they are actually speaking -- a language of the stars, intended to convey profound (and practical) truths for our benefit and blessing in this life.

About the Author

David Warner Mathisen has been exploring the connections between the myths and the stars for over ten years, and the evidence that the world's ancient myths, scriptures and sacred stories share a common foundation of celestial metaphor. He has written nine books and well over 1,100 blog posts on this subject, as well as dozens of videos, and has appeared on numerous podcasts and conferences to discuss the overwhelming evidence which demonstrate that the figures and events in the world's ancient myths are associated with specific constellations as part of a shared system of tremendous antiquity. He is a graduate of West Point and has a masters in literature from Texas A&M University.
