Science Behind the Myths: New Book Explores Ancient Lore's Roots
A new book, "Mythopedia," explores the scientific origins of myths and legends, connecting ancient stories to real-world natural phenomena like earthquakes and meteor showers. This interdisciplinary approach, known as geomythology, examines how early cultures interpreted and memorialized events before the advent of modern science, offering insights into the folk science of the past. The research highlights how these narratives reflect early attempts to understand and explain the natural world.
