Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Above & Below: Pyramids, Stars, and the Human Search for Meaning invites the reader on a journey through the oldest libraries humanity ever knew, the caverns where firelight revealed handprints and animal forms, and the night skies where early watchers mapped stories among the stars. Drawing inspiration from the sample introduction, this book continues the same thoughtful and poetic movement between evidence, imagination, and lived human experience. Tina Ketch explores how people across continents and millennia created meaning by looking upward to constellations, omens, and cosmic rhythms, and downward to stone monuments, underground cities, and the earth that remembers every footprint.Ketch follows humanity from its earliest painted caves to the grand pyramids of Giza, the royal peaks of Meroe, the sacred alignments of Teotihuacan, and the vast cosmologies that shaped Greek, Maya, Hopi, African, Asian, and Indigenous understandings of the world. She also moves beneath the surface, into the engineered depths of Cappadocian cities and the symbolic underworlds that offered moral structure and spiritual maps. Along the way, she integrates the esoteric traditions that continue to guide modern seekers: astrology, numerology, tarot, and palmistry. These practices are treated not as proofs to defend or debunk but as meaningful tools that help people navigate crisis, choice, identity, and hope.The book weaves archaeology, mythology, geology, linguistics, genetics, ritual studies, anthropology, and spiritual history into a single narrative that honors both scientific inquiry and the enduring power of story. Ketch explains how ideas traveled along deserts, coasts, markets, marriages, empires, ports, and digital networks, transforming with every step. She highlights Mount Shasta as a modern mountain of myth, and even Antarctica as a place of contested meaning where science and legend meet.Written with clarity, humility, and respect for cultural breadth, Above & Below helps readers understand how humans built meaning from the ground and sky, how stories shape action, and how we can speak across difference without dismissing memory or belief. This book offers a map for anyone seeking to understand the deep roots of human meaning making and invites each reader to walk forward with curiosity, honesty, and care.
