Bag om Kings Dethroned

He also examines the role of politics, religion, and other societal factors in shaping the evolution of astronomy, providing a comprehensive and thought-provoking account of this fascinating field of study. Overall, ""Kings Dethroned"" is a compelling and insightful exploration of the history of astronomy and the ongoing quest to understand the mysteries of the universe.Showing It To Be An Amazing Series Of Blunders Founded Upon An Error Made In The Second Century B.C.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
