Roughly five thousand years ago, the Persians noticed four stars
were located at specific locations along the ecliptic at which the
sun would pass in front of during the four seasons. These four
stars and their constellations became integrated into the lore and
mythology of religion. Th e royal Persian stars then became
intertwined with the story of Jesus Christ, the Holy Roman Catholic
Church, and St. Peter's Basilica. In From Four Royal Persian Stars
to Jesus and the Sun, author Eric Norland presents a primer on
modern astronomy to show how this relationship developed.
A world traveler and amateur astronomer, Norland delivers an
explanation about the core of the Christian religion. He discusses
the astronomy-related misunderstandings people had long ago, shows
how these beliefs became the foundations of Christian religion, and
provides an account of how many other religions found their
inspiration.
With a host of graphics and examples, From Four Royal Persian
Stars to Jesus and the Sun digs into the core of religion and
explains its early connection to astronomy.
