About the book: 2003 / The book of the famous American astronomer Edwin Krapp differs from similar publications in that he opens before the reader a not mysterious world of complex astrological science, full of "shackles numbers and signs”, and the miracle of “living astronomy”, filled with images of ancient mythology, miracles of heavenly patronage of humanity. Special “messengers” were involved in deciphering cosmic messages to people, who were called differently for each nation and in each era: magi, astrologers, shamans , astrologers, fortune-tellers, court astronomers. Edwin Krapp reveals to us the connection between times and generations, continents and nationalities, earthly and heavenly. The latest research in the field of the history of astronomy and archeology, supported by mythological associations, allows us to look at the cultural heritage of our civilization from a different angle , as well as its past, present and future.
