Mythology
World mythology covered with the same seriousness as ancient history. The Mythology section gathers 240+ investigations into the gods, monsters, heroes and origin stories that shaped human civilization, Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek, Norse, Hindu, Mesoamerican, biblical and the strange overlaps between them.
You’ll find pieces on the Anunnaki and the Sumerian creation tablets, the watchers of the Book of Enoch, biblical creatures like Behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz, the Norse pantheon, Hindu epics, Egyptian afterlife beliefs, and the comparative mythology that links these traditions across continents. Where ancient sources survive, the Enuma Elish, the Vedas, the Pyramid Texts, the Book of Genesis, we link them directly.
This is mythology read as something more than fairy tale: the records of how humans tried to make sense of a universe that rarely cooperates. New investigations added weekly.
