History of the Heavens
Histoire du ciel considéré selon les idées des poëtes, des philosophes, et de Moïse
About This Book
astronomyhermeticismphilosophy
Why did the ancients worship the stars, and how did a simple farm calendar turn into the chaotic world of Greek gods? Antoine Pluche’s 'History of the Heavens' pulls back the veil on antiquity, arguing that the 'Poetic Heaven' was originally a practical system of survival signals. Discover how the Nile’s floods, the tools of the harvest, and the descendants of Noah created the foundations of human culture.
