Lost Star of Myth and Time
The myth and folklore of ancestral peoples around the world hints at a vast cycle of time, with alternating Dark and Golden Ages. Plato called it the Great Year. Long believed to be a fairytale, there is now new astronomical evidence to show it has a basis in fact. Moreover, because it is caused by the acceleration of our Sun around another star, we learn that the Earth sh...more

This book gives a very unique interpretation of human history. It says that many ancient civilizations, even before the Egyptians, believed that the heavens ran on cycles, some lasting tens of thousands of years.
The ancient Hindus called their ages "yugas." Their cycle starts with a Golden Age, then a Silver, Bronze and Iron Age, where civilizations became less and less sophisticated. Consider mankind’s journey from, say, Ancient Egypt to the Dark Ages. Then the cycle rever...more

Not my typical book choice, but provided me with an unusual look at ancient populations and their oft-ignored achievements.

As a Christian, I try not to put limits on God with respect...more
A couple really good chapters, some really good sub-sections, and a bunch of filler. Definitely worth it for the good stuff, though (i.e. chapters 4 and 6).
Loved it. really interesting theory about time being cyclical and that it has to do with our solar system having a duel star.
Don't agree with a lot of his standpoints, but still a facinating read
A very fascinating book about a theory explaining the rise and fall of civilizations throughout time. I learned everything in this book as I've never even fathomed the idea before. A great book for those looking for a different perspective on things, from an astronomical side of it all.
If I hadn't had to read this book for a book club, I'd never have picked it up. I wanted to believe like Mulder but I felt like an extremely skeptical Scully.
Convincing and beautiful. It has helped me see patterns in history and cognizant of the changes transforming consciousness on this planet. Totally recommended.
