…discussing how ancient myths encoded astronomical knowledge about precession
“A very important academic study published in the 1960s, a book called Hamlet's Mill by Giorgio de Santillana, professor of the history of science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Hertha von Deschen, professor of history of science. This is not me speaking. This is major, major historians of science in the 1960s. They found encoded in those myths numbers and imagery that could only relate to one thing. And that's an obscure astronomical phenomenon called the precession of the equinoxes.”
