Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Across the myths of the world-from the temples of Egypt to the rainforests of the Amazon, from the deserts of Australia to the mountains of Greece-the serpent appears again and again as one of humanity's most powerful sacred symbols. Why did this creature become so universal? And what ancient knowledge might be hidden within the myths that surround it? The Serpent Code explores the astonishing global presence of serpent symbolism and reveals how ancient cultures used this image to describe the deepest rhythms of nature, time, and the cosmos.Drawing from mythology, archaeology, astronomy, and anthropology, this book uncovers the serpent's role as a symbol of water, life, renewal, and hidden wisdom. From celestial dragons guarding the axis of the heavens to water serpents shaping rivers and landscapes, the serpent emerges as a symbolic language used by early civilizations to encode knowledge about the natural world. For readers fascinated by ancient mysteries, mythological traditions, and the origins of human understanding, The Serpent Code offers a journey into one of the oldest and most profound symbols in human history.
