Hello Jeff.

I also read the book a long time ago. He wrote about myths. Myths
he said, when they survive the ages, must be based on reality in the past.
If something really happened, our ancestors wrote it down, or told it to
their childeren. The problem is that scientists do not accept this.
He also works a lot with explaining the origin, meaning of
(old) words if I remember well.
But was not this all about the planet Venus which acc. to Asimov,
once was on the move and caused a collision in our solar system ?
Worlds in Collision means planets in collision. Venus became
because of this a bad name. A planet was ofcourse something like
a god. They did not know it was like the earth, a world.
Heaven and the gods were above, it was simple as that.
Now we smile about that, but their observation was not that stupid.
I think they got it all right afterall because the objects/gods in
heaven indeed ruled their life. (Sun, earth) So a Pharao like Achnaton
(the heritic) worshipped the sun. Without the sun, no rain, no river
Nile, no food, no life. I was the visible god.
