Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Long before modern science sought to measure the universe, the civilizations of ancient Eurasia were already asking the most profound question of all: how did everything begin? Ancient Eurasian Cosmology: Myth, Order, and Creation takes you deep into the intellectual and spiritual worlds of early societies, where poets, priests, and philosophers constructed powerful visions of the cosmos. From the sacred hymns of India to the philosophical traditions that followed, this book explores how ancient thinkers understood creation-not as a single event, but as a dynamic interplay of order, transformation, and cosmic balance.Blending mythological narrative with emerging philosophical insight, this work reveals a universe alive with meaning. Discover how early cultures imagined layered worlds, cyclical time, and the hidden principles that governed existence. Explore the role of ritual, sound, and sacred speech in sustaining cosmic order, and uncover how humanity was seen not as separate from the universe, but as an active participant within it. Rich, immersive, and grounded in historical scholarship, this book offers a compelling journey into the origins of cosmological thought-and a deeper understanding of the ideas that continue to shape how we see the universe today.
