Evidence of this awareness can be found in ancient caves and underground cathedrals dating from the Paleolithic, in the orientation of Neolithic monuments, and by the design of temples from ancient India and Egypt. This book reviews some of this evidence. CHAPTERS: Prologue: Ancient Cosmologies: The Paleolithic and Neolithic Universe 1.
