There's an amazing book um which I may have mentioned to you before Joe a book called Hamlet's Mill and it was written by two professors of the history of science Georgio de santiana and he of vesan back in the 60s and what book is dynamite.

The best things said about it
Actually the Discovery is attributed to a Greek astronomer and mathematician called hipparchus and and we're looking at 127 BC but these guys Giorgio de santiana and he Von desend uh in an amazing piece of work called Hamlet's Mill uh strongly dispute that and they they they suggest that we're looking at an extremely ancient knowledge of procession.
Graham Hancock The Joe Rogan Experience · Apr 2024 Very important work by two historians of science called Giorgio de santiana and hea vend back in the they wrote a book called Hamlet's Mill which tracks this ancient knowledge of procession and they trace it back.
Graham Hancock The Joe Rogan Experience · Nov 2015 The groundbreaking book was you may know about it was it's called Hamlet's Mill I've heard you discuss it do you know that have you discussed that one yeah I've heard you discuss it you're right it's Georgio I mean these are two impeccable historians of science at MIT Georgio the santiana and and her Heron deand and the book.
I mean for example Hamlet's Mill um the santiana and V can go to a lot of trouble to show that very ancient Mist as far back as you go know about the procession of the equinoxes I was just about to ask you about that what I said I was just about to ask you about that that's a.
They wrote an immense book in the 1960s called Hamlet's Mill.
Graham Hancock Lex Fridman Podcast · Oct 2024 Why people recommend it
Hamlet's Mill by Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend is an influential history of science examining how ancient mythologies preserve sophisticated prehistoric astronomical knowledge concerning the precession of the equinoxes. On The Joe Rogan Experience, Graham Hancock enthusiastically recommended the book, describing it as an amazing and dynamic work written by two MIT professors in the 1960s. Hancock returned to discuss the text across multiple platforms, including the Lex Fridman Podcast and several subsequent appearances with Joe Rogan, highlighting how the authors used ancient myths to challenge mainstream historical timelines and argue that astronomical awareness stretches far deeper into antiquity than standard historical models acknowledge. John Anthony West also discussed Hamlet's Mill extensively on The Joe Rogan Experience, praising it as a groundbreaking piece of scholarship by impeccable historians of science. West detailed how the authors meticulously analyzed ancient stories to demonstrate that early civilizations understood complex celestial mechanics like axial precession long before classical Greek astronomers traditionally received credit. Through these compelling discussions, podcast guests emphasized the book's vital role in reshaping our understanding of ancient human history, lost civilizations, and the hidden scientific wisdom embedded within traditional world mythologies.
