The Planet Mars — our planetary neighbor, and a source of enormous mystery for space science and academia. In our previous episode, our guest Ev Cochrane summarized some of the incredible identities given Mars in ancient myth, astronomical traditions and religion. For decades, Cochrane and his colleagues, including David Talbott and the late Dwardu Cardona, have worked to reconstruct the catastrophic celestial events that inspired the recurring patterns in myth and religion. As Cochrane explains in this conclusion, the reconstruction of these events has involved not merely a cross-cultural investigation of myth, but also sheds remarkable new light on the origins of words and language.
