This pioneering reconstruction of the solar
cosmology of the ancient Indo-Europeans is based on the literary evidence of
the Puranas, the Vedas, the Brahmanas, the Avesta, the records of the religions
of Egypt, Sumer, Akkad, Assyria and the Hurrians, as well as the earliest
theogonies of the Hittites, the proto-Stoic and Orphic Greeks, and the ancient
Germans. The judicious collation of these documents reveals to us, for the
first time, the extraordinary spiritual vision - of the creation as well as of
the course of the cosmos - which informs the religion of the ancients. The
organic correspondence between the macrocosm and the human microcosm that
emerges in the course of this study also provides the key to the proper
understanding of the esoteric philosophy of the Indians. This work should
therefore be of vital interest to all students of the religion and mythology of
the ancient Near East as well as to those of Indian and Greek philosophy.
