Mythology and World History
Reference: “Don’t Know Much About Mythology”. Kenneth Davis, Harper Collins, New York, 2005
Myths may have begun in the oldest sense, as a way for humans to explain the unknown of their world—the world they could see as well as the world they could not see.
Long before science envisioned a Big Bang.
Long before Greek philosophers reasoned, Siddhartha Gautama sought enlightenment, or Jesus walked the shores of the Sea of Galilee.
Long before there was a Bible or a Koran.
Long before Darwin proposed natural selection.  Long before we could know the age of a rock and before men walked on the moon, there were myths.
