Are the myths handed down by various ancient cultures actual truths about planet Earth?

Virtually all of the world's myths, scriptures, and sacred traditions can be shown to be based upon a common world-wide system of celestial metaphor, showing that they are all in fact closely connected, designed to convey profound wisdom for our lives. However, if the sacred myths given to humanity are not in fact speaking a literal language,then rejecting them because you can't take them literally is a big mistake.

I believe that the truths in the ancient myths, scriptures, and sacred stories of the world contain absolutely vital truths that we need today. It is tragic to miss the message they have to offer, and I believe that literalism causes a huge percentage of men and women to miss their message in one of the two ways.

David Warner Mathisen is the author of a new series of books entitled Star Myths of the World, and How to Interpret Them, which diagrams the astonishing evidence that virtually all the myths, scriptures, and sacred stories of humanity – from all regions of our planet, and across the millennia – are based upon a common system of celestial metaphor.
