The Saturn Myth By David N. Talbott Paperback

The Saturn Myth by David Talbott explores the idea that the ancient myths and religious traditions of various cultures were influenced by dramatic celestial events, particularly involving the planet Saturn. Talbott suggests that ancient civilizations remembered a time when Saturn was once the dominant planet in the sky, surrounded by a cosmic configuration that would have been visible and awe-inspiring to early humans. He argues that this “Saturnian” age, marked by strange celestial phenomena, gave rise to the myths surrounding gods, creation, and the origins of civilization. The book delves into the connections between mythology, astronomy, and human consciousness, proposing that ancient people misinterpreted their observations of the sky as divine interactions or symbolic representations. It’s a thought-provoking read for those interested in ancient cultures, mythology, and the intersection of science and belief systems. Talbott’s theories challenge conventional ideas about the origins of myths and the role of celestial bodies in shaping human history.
