The author, a graduate in Astronomy, Science and Engineering takes you through 7000 years of human existence and tries to analyze why mythical stories forming basis of religion in most of the countries cannot be rejected out rightly, as some of the locations and sites related to these myths are in existence even today.
These mythical stories may appear as true historical narratives to the faithful but do not appeal to a modern rational mind.
The author in a logical and lucid manner discusses the possible factors and reasons for development of religious myths, as these are affecting every human on our earth whether through traditions or as a religious phenomenon.
Book is a result of painstaking study of four decades of different religions to find background of religious myths. Super compact narration of religious stories from angle of a rationalist, to filter true from untrue.
A wonderful conceptualization of events, spanning over seven millenniums.
A semi fictional work but a book of knowledge, a must read for all modern minds.
