What is an Egyptian pyramid doing on the U. S. dollar bill? Did
a pharaoh inspire Moses to worship one God? What's a Canaanite
demoness doing at a rock concert?
Since the beginning of time, people have been insatiably
curious. They've asked questions about where we come from, why the
stars shine and the seasons change, and what constitutes evil. The
imaginative answers crafted by our ancestors have served as
religion, science, philosophy, and popular literature. In this
latest installment of the New York Times bestselling Don't Know
Much About(R) series, Kenneth C. Davis introduces and explains the
great myths of the world using his engaging and delightfully
irreverent question-and-answer style. He tackles the epic of
Gilgamesh; Achilles and the Trojan War; Stonehenge and the Druids;
Odin, Thor, and the entire Norse pantheon; Native American myths,
and much more, including the dramatic life and times of the man who
would be Buddha. From Mount Olympus to Machu Picchu, here is an
insightful, lively look at the greatest stories ever told.
