Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

The Night of the Gods explores the symbolic meaning of darkness, stars, and celestial patterns in ancient religion and mythology. Hinton suggests that early myths encode astronomical knowledge and cosmic cycles, and that religious doctrines evolved from star-worship and cyclical time concepts. This speculative but deeply philosophical work bridges science, mythology, and metaphysical religion in a compelling synthesis of ancient and modern thought.
