The Worship Of Nature As The Basis Of All Religions Of Antiquity

by Arthur Dyott Thomson

Book Overview

""The Worship of Nature as the Basis of All Religions of Antiquity"" by Arthur Dyott Thomson is a scholarly work that explores the role of nature worship in the ancient religions of the world. The author argues that the worship of nature was the foundation of all ancient religions, and that it was a common thread that ran through the beliefs and practices of cultures as diverse as those of Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, and China. The book examines the various forms of nature worship in these cultures, including the worship of the sun, moon, stars, and natural phenomena such as thunder and lightning. It also looks at the ways in which nature worship influenced the development of art, literature, and philosophy in these cultures. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and comparative studies of different cultures, to present a comprehensive and detailed account of the worship of nature in the ancient world. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion, anthropology, or ancient cultures.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: On Mankind their Origin and Destiny Part 1, by Arthur Dyott Thomson.
