Orion: Origin of the Gods

Overview

The oldest cultures describe how, a long time ago, they lived alongside a civilization of gods — incredible navigators and astronomers, real human-like people rather than imaginary beings. And direct contact with them was a regular part of life. They also agree that although these humanoids lived on Earth, their point of origin, their homeland, was a very specific place in the night sky: Orion’s belt. In Greek mythology, it’s noted that Orion was a hunter, and the god Zeus placed him among the stars, now known as the constellation Orion. Some people, however,y even go so far as to claim that Orion was the origin of civilization itself. How did our ancestors reach this astounding conclusion?
