Adam's Astronomy: The Original Zodiac

By Jane S. Poole

Book Overview

Long before Moses wrote Genesis, the world's first astronomers invented star signs to illustrate a prophecy: a God-man would come to repair the breach between us and the Creator. Those starry figures were pirated, however, and used to advance a false religion which spread all over the world. Faithful men from Noah to the magi of the Christ child stood against that error, yet the true star signs all but vanished for millennia. Adam's Astronomy lays out the original signs, introduces the linguist who recovered them, and explains how she did it. The last chapter describes many deep sky objects whose traits--revealed by modern telescopes--illustrate the ancient message of the constellations in which they are found.

Adam's Astronomy

I loved this book and will use it forever as a reference. I have many books on Ancient Astronomy, including books by Seiss, Bullinger, and Frances Rolleston but this is one of my favorites. It's concise and explains the stories behind the stars without getting too bogged down in astronomical details. I share this information at a youth camp in the summers and I get so much positive feedback as youth and adults come up to me and remark that, "I never heard this before". I have a list of resources that I share and this is one of the resources I use.
