O knihe

CONNECTING THE DOTS BETWEEN ANCIENT RELIGIONS
There are remarkable similarities between ancient sites, symbols, beliefs, and civilizations across the world. Above all, the sun was worshiped as the greatest source of light and highest symbol of divinity.
Hundreds, if not thousands of ancient sites were built for the worship of the sun, and were aligned to the sun's yearly transitions at the solstices and equinoxes-they include the most famous in the world, such as the Great Pyramid of Egypt, Stonehenge, and the statues of Easter Island. These transitions of the sun were celebrated by numerous ancient peoples and billions still hold their religious celebrations on them today, such as at Christmas.
This book provides a comprehensive, informative, and easy-to-read explanation for why these similarities exist, exploring the common origin of the spirituality behind them and its deeper meaning. It makes a compelling case for the existence of an ancient religion of the sun that spread around the globe in prehistory, supported by hundreds of illustrations, excerpts from sacred texts, and in-depth descriptions of ancient sites. It also reconstructs the central tenets of this religion using detailed evidence, and provides ceremonies based on ancient traditions to reconnect with it today.
Ancient Solstice connects the ancient past with the movements of the cosmos and ourselves to show that these cultures, which seem so mysterious to our modern civilization, possessed a great understanding of the spiritual nature of the universe and our place in it.
Whatever your spiritual path, this book may be of value, and is recommended for students of comparative religion, those interested in the possibility of lost civilizations in prehistory, and those looking to reconnect with pagan or indigenous spiritual traditions.
