The Saturn Myth by David N. Talbott explores the fascinating and controversial idea that ancient civilizations may have based their myths and religious beliefs on a celestial configuration that existed thousands of years ago. The author delves into the possibility that Saturn, rather than the Sun, was once the central figure in the sky, influencing the early development of human culture. Talbott uses astronomical and mythological evidence to argue that the planets and their movements played a significant role in shaping the myths of various cultures across the globe. This book challenges traditional views of ancient history and offers a thought-provoking perspective on how early humans might have interpreted the cosmos. It's a compelling read for those interested in mythology, astronomy, and the origins of civilization.
