Raoul Schrott Presents His New Book, "Atlas of the Starry Skies"
The “Atlas of the Starry Skies” offers a completely new perspective on humanity and its long history. Raoul Schrott weaves together the legends of the stars into an epic of human history. In this monumental work, the author brings together 17 starry skies from every continent: from the ancient Egyptians to the Australian Aborigines, from China, India, and Tahiti, and from the Inuit, the Bushmen, and the Tuareg.
For the Maya, our Big Dipper was a divine parrot; for the Incas, the one-legged god of thunder; for the Inuit, a moose; and for the Arabs, a bier.
