Mountain sickness and the gods

Meer over het boek

Exploring the historical reverence for mountains, the book delves into the role of ancient priests as early slave owners who manipulated their tribes through perceived divine authority. It highlights the connection between these figures and the physiological sensitivity some individuals have to natural changes, likening their experiences to a form of spiritual addiction perpetuated by modern oligarchs and bankers. The narrative intertwines science and spirituality, examining how certain people can sense weather fluctuations and earth vibrations, linking them to the mystical status of mountain-dwelling "gods-diviners."
