This book aims to illuminate the interconnectedness of ancient religions and their influence on modern belief systems. It seeks to demonstrate that seemingly disparate religious traditions share fundamental principles, narratives, and archetypes, revealing a common thread throughout human history. The core problem addressed is the often-fragmented understanding of religious history, leading to a lack of appreciation for the shared human experiences and universal quest for meaning embedded within various faiths. By tracing the evolution of religious narratives and symbols, the book strives to foster a more holistic and nuanced understanding of religion, transcending superficial differences and highlighting the underlying unity of human spiritual aspirations.
