Laird Scranton's Decoding Maori Cosmology explores the links between Maori cosmology and other ancient traditions worldwide. Scranton argues that a matriarchal tradition originating before 10,000 BCE gave rise to similar mythological systems across the globe. He uses comparative linguistics and analysis of cosmology, architecture, and artifacts to connect Maori beliefs with those of diverse cultures, including Gobekli Tepe, the Sakti Cult, and ancient Egypt. The book proposes that these ancient civilizations possessed a sophisticated understanding of physics and suggests that the Maori language preserves elements of this archaic cosmological knowledge. Scranton's research focuses on identifying common phonemes and symbolic meanings across languages to uncover a shared, ancient creation tradition.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Decoding-Maori-Cosmology-Zealands-Indigenous/dp/1620557053?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=e43b876c9e31d992acfd5a359fc3667d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
