Comparative Origins takes readers on an enlightening journey across time - from the ancient temples of G bekli Tepe to the mysterious cities of the Indus Valley, and from Sumer's cuneiform tablets to Egypt's pyramids. Long before written scriptures and organized religions, humanity was already seeking meaning through symbols, rituals, and divine imagination. This book challenges the idea that any single tradition holds the title of "the world's oldest religion." Through archaeology, comparative mythology, and cultural history, Comparative Origins explores how spiritual thought evolved independently across continents. Readers will discover how early civilizations in Mesopotamia, China, Egypt, and the Americas developed their own sacred systems - centuries before the composition of the Vedas in India. Balanced, respectful, and deeply researched, this book invites readers to look beyond regional claims and see the global story of our shared spiritual heritage.
