Have you ever wondered about the origin of our western cultural artifacts (symbols, myths, legends, customs and traditions)? Where was the Garden of Eden? From where did the magic spell Abracadabra originate? What was the original use of the zodiac? How did the concepts of sin and Hell come about? Was Hitler the first to use the Swastika symbol? Why is 13 considered unlucky? Why do we have 360 degrees in a circle? How did mermaids originate? Why is Christmas Day held on December 25th?
The longevity of many cultural artifacts is simply remarkable. Some have been with us since prehistory and still retain the same meaning. Some have lost their meaning over time and have been given completely new meanings. Some cultural artifacts are simply added to or are deliberately changed to override previous beliefs - usually to suit a specific agenda.
Many books have been written explaining the meaning of various cultural artifacts, however in most cases they only give a single explanation for their origin. This is Ancient Origins point of difference. It is the culmination of 20 plus years research and offers the reader a linked, holistic view on the origins of a wide range of cultural artifacts - something that appears to be missing from historical literature.
There is literally nothing new under the Sun, nothing occurs by chance, everything has a reason for being. This book has been written for those inquisitive beings who wonder if there is an alternate, hidden side to the origin of our western cultural artifacts.
